Hot Box

A "hot box" typically refers to a sealed container or space where items, such as tobacco, herbs, or other substances, are stored to maintain freshness or intensify their aroma and effects. In some contexts, especially in transportation or food storage, it describes a poorly ventilated or overly warm area that can cause spoilage or degradation of contents. The term can also be used informally to describe a vehicle or room filled with smoke or heat, often implying excessive or uncontrolled conditions. Overall, it denotes an environment characterized by heat, limited airflow, or preservation focus.
