A volatile carrier for supplying a volatile ingredient to a heating device to be dispensed thereby, the heating device having a heat transfer site and a pass-through path to receive an inserted volatile carrier at one end of the pass-through path to position the volatile carrier adjacent to the heat transfer site. The volatile carrier has a substantially unitary reservoir block containing a supply of the volatile ingredient. The reservoir block is greater in size than the heat transfer site. An advancement device is supplied by which a user can manually advance the reservoir block past the heat transfer site to expose different portions of the reservoir block to heat. A method of supplying a volatile ingredient to such a heating device by use of such a volatile carrier is also described.

[ What is claimed is:] [8.] A volatile carrier for supplying a volatile ingredient to a heating device to be dispensed thereby, the heating device having a pass-through path in the form of a pathway selected from the group consisting of passages, tunnels, chambers, and open troughs, the pass-through path having an end opening suitable to receive an inserted volatile carrier so as to position the volatile carrier adjacent to a heat source of the heating device, the volatile carrier comprisinga. a substantially unitary reservoir block containing a supply of the volatile ingredient; andb. an advancement device by which a user can manually advance the reservoir block past the heat source to expose different portions of the reservoir block to heat;the volatile carrier being for use with a heating device whose pass-through path has path sides, the volatile carrier including a longitudinally extended frame having a plurality of resilient fingers that extend distally from the frame to engage a path side to position the frame with respect to the path side and the heat source.
