The first charcoal warmers were invented in the years 1950-53 after finding out that iron heats up when oxidating. An American soldier stationed in Korea used iron powder and salt in a canister to keep himself warm during the cold winter. 1978 the first warm pads were produced. Today more than 150 types of charcoal warmers for a variety of applications are used in Japan.
