FAQs

How long does each can burn for?

Each can provides approximately 4 hours of burn time, offering consistent heat for extended periods.

Are these fuel cans safe to use indoors?

Yes, they are designed for safe use with a clean-burning, low-odor flame. However, as with any open flame, adequate ventilation is recommended, especially in enclosed spaces.

Can I reuse a fuel can after it's been lit?

Yes, these cans feature a relightable wick, allowing you to extinguish the flame and relight it later as needed, ensuring you use the fuel efficiently.

What type of fuel is used in these cans?

The fuel used is clean-burning Diethylene Glycol.

Are these compatible with all chafing dishes?

They are designed to work with all standard chafing dishes, bain maries, and buffet warming equipment that accommodate canned fuel.

How should I store unused fuel cans?

Store unused fuel cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames.

What makes the container 'cool-touch'?

The metal container is designed to remain at a lower temperature, making it safer to handle even when the fuel inside is burning.

Troubleshooting

Fuel can won't ignite.

Ensure the wick is properly exposed. Try igniting it again with a longer lighter or match. Check if there is sufficient fuel remaining in the can.

Flame is too low or inconsistent.

The wick may be saturated or partially burnt. If relightable, adjust the wick. Ensure the can is upright and not disturbed. Clean any residue around the wick area.

Fuel can feels excessively hot to the touch.

Allow the can to cool down before handling. Ensure it is properly seated in the fuel holder and not in direct contact with the food pan if avoidable. Use appropriate tools for handling hot cans.

Unusual odor during burning.

While designed for clean burning, ensure adequate ventilation. If the odor is strong or chemical, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer.
