Disclosed is a system and method for radiant heating in a vehicle-mounted salt box in which heated coolant from the engine on which the salt box is mounted is routed to a radiant heating coil within the salt box to warm the salt, thus preventing the creation of frozen clumps of salt in the salt box, while minimizing the expense required to supply such heat to the salt through use of the vehicle's own existing engine cooling system. The radiant heating coil is particularly configured to closely match the contour of a portion of the salt box hopper to maximize heat transfer between the heat transfer fluid and the salt, and preferably the salt box hopper itself.
