FAQs

What is the primary ingredient in this chafing fuel?

The primary ingredient is Diethylene Glycol, which allows for a clean and non-flammable burn in its liquid state.

Can I use this fuel with any type of chafing dish?

This fuel is compatible with most standard chafing dishes and food warming equipment that have a designated fuel holder. Always consult your equipment's manual.

How long does a single canister typically last?

Depending on the version you purchase, a single canister provides either a 4-hour or a 6-hour burn time.

Is the canister safe to handle while the fuel is burning?

Yes, the canister is designed with a cool-touch feature, meaning it remains safe to handle even when the fuel is lit.

Does the fuel produce any noticeable smell?

No, this chafing fuel burns with a clean, low-odor flame, ensuring that the aroma of your food is not affected.

Can I re-light the fuel once it has been extinguished?

Yes, the canister features a re-lightable wick, allowing you to extinguish the flame and relight it later to use the remaining fuel.

Is this fuel suitable for indoor use?

Yes, its clean and odor-free burning makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor catering environments.

Troubleshooting

Fuel does not light

Ensure the wick is properly exposed and has not been submerged in fuel for too long. Try re-lighting with a longer lighter or match. Check if there is sufficient fuel in the canister.

Flame is too low or inconsistent

Ensure the canister is on a level surface. If your equipment allows, adjust the wick to a slightly higher position. Check that the wick is not damaged.

Canister feels hot to the touch

While designed to be cool-touch, prolonged direct contact with intense heat sources or flames can still cause warming. Use caution and handling tools if necessary. Ensure the fuel is not burning too vigorously for the equipment.

Fuel burns out faster than expected

Verify the burn time of the specific canister (4 or 6 hours). Ensure the wick is not set too high, which can increase fuel consumption. Check for any drafts that might affect the flame.
