ABSTRACT:
A tar melting assembly that is used with a portable heat torch and has a tar melting kettle that includes a body having a front, back, side and bottom walls, and a spout that extends out from the front. A plurality of heat exchangers within the body are situated adjacent the bottom wall and each of these has an opening at the front and another opening at the back. A handle facilitates tipping of the kettle for pouring the melted tar. A stand for the tar kettle has a tray formed of a bottom, front, back and side walls that define the interior of the tray. The corners of the tray are supported on legs. A socket in the back wall of the tray receives the torch head and has a releasable latching provision. The tar kettle is seated in the stand so that inlets and outlets of the heat exchanger tubes are within the interior of the stand. The torch injects flame into the interior of the tray so that the flame enters the heat exchanger tubes for rapid melting of the tar in the tar kettle. A step plate is affixed onto the rear legs so that the operator can step on the plate to stable the assembly during pouring of the melted tar.
