Combustion boat

A combustion boat is a small, boat-shaped container typically made of ceramic or metal. It is used to hold and burn substances during combustion reactions in laboratory settings. The boat’s design allows for efficient and controlled combustion, and it is often placed on a support (such as a wire gauze) to ensure proper heating during the reaction.
