Abstract
A closable drum having a heating coil therein safely stores a steam hose or unused lengths of the steam hose in an internal chamber thereof. A steam supply control valve connects a fixed steam outlet to the interior the chamber for connection to one end of the steam hose, allowing the other end of the hose to extend from the chamber. A heating coil control valve, also connected to the fixed steam outlet, controls the steam supplied to the heating coil. A perforated wall supported above the heating coil spaces the steam hose from the heating coil and allows heated air to rise into the chamber.
