FAQs
What is the primary fuel used in these cans?
The fuel used is Diethylene Glycol, which burns cleanly and produces a steady flame.
How long does a single can burn for?
The cans are available in 4-hour and 6-hour burn time options, providing consistent heat for these durations.
Are these fuel cans safe to handle?
Yes, they feature a non-flammable liquid design and a cool-touch metal container, making them safer for handling even when lit.
Can I re-light the fuel if I extinguish it early?
Yes, the cans are designed with a re-lightable wick, allowing you to extinguish the flame and relight it later to utilize the remaining fuel.
What types of equipment are these fuel cans compatible with?
They are versatile and compatible with most standard chafing dishes, bain-maries, fondue sets, and other food warming equipment that have a fuel holder.
Do these fuel cans produce a strong odor?
No, they are designed to burn with a clean, low-odor flame that preserves the quality and aroma of the food being heated.
Where should I store these chafing fuel cans?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.
Troubleshooting
Flame is too low or inconsistent
Ensure the wick is properly seated and not damaged. Check that the can is upright and not near drafts. If the fuel level is very low, it may be time to replace the can.
Can is difficult to ignite
Ensure the wick is exposed and dry. Use a long lighter or match to apply flame directly to the wick. If the fuel is old, it may be less volatile; ensure you are using fresh fuel.
Can feels hot to touch during operation
While designed to be cool-touch, excessive ambient heat or prolonged use in a confined space might increase surface temperature slightly. Always handle with care. If it feels excessively hot, extinguish the flame and allow it to cool completely before repositioning.
Fuel appears to be used up before the stated burn time
Ensure the burn time selected (4 or 6 hours) matches your event duration. Factors like airflow and ambient temperature can slightly affect burn rate. Check if the wick has been trimmed or adjusted, which can alter burn speed.
