Abstract
A veneer block moisturizing vault which has a single upright openable end which is closeable and exposeable through vertical shifting of a rigid unitary door. The lateral margins of the door are received in confronting channels, which, together with the door's margins, provide an effective lateral moisture barrier inhibiting the escape of steam from the vault when its door is closed. With the door closed, the bottom edge of the same rests snugly upon a specially prepared cement apron--also to effect a steam-capturing moisture barrier. Moisturizing in the vault is accomplished through the controlled blending and injection thereinto of steam and cold water.
