Steam box.

That should do, but I just bought a 10' length of 6" PVC and a couple of end plugs. Then added a handle to one of the end plugs and drilled the needed holes. I never did much steaming, so after keeping it 10+ years and it getting in the way one too many times I trashed it. I figured out that the space was more important and decided that I would make another if I decided to start making bendy wood again. The kettle was a 2 1/2 gallon pancake style gas can sitting on a propane cooker. I used a flexible metal hose to connect the spout to the steam box pipe.
