Product Description
If you’re planning an event with chafing dishes, this 12-pack of chafing fuel is ideal to keep food at the right serving temp. Each tin burns for a consistent two hours, perfect for shorter events or buffets. Made from non-toxic ethanol, it burns cleanly at high heat, offering a safe and cost-effective way to maintain food warmth. With zero smoke or odour, and no harmful emissions, it’s a good option for indoor gatherings or events where clean air is needed.
Do you need to order chafing fuel?
All of our chafing dishes are hired without chafing fuel. Please order separately if you need it.
- Chafing fuel is available in 2 hour and 6 hour burn times
- Multipacks of fuel are available
- Standard rectangular chafing dishes need two pots of fuel per dish
- Non-standard sizes will have differing requirements. Please check when ordering
How does the sale of chafing fuel work?
As an event hire company, consumables are treated a little bit differently than our other products. We have two kinds of consumable products at Expo Hire; the rules about them are as follows.
As gas bottles can be refilled both by the customer and ourselves, these are not treated as sold consumables. The hire price shown for these items are for the gas bottles themselves, which can then be refilled as and when a customer requires. All LPG bottles returned to us have to be replaced as per our gas safety agreements and therefore we cannot refund any customers for unused gas.
Water bottles are sold rather than hired and are delivered full and sealed. As these can be recycled we do pick up the empty bottles to help that process. Likewise, as chafing fuel pots cannot be refilled these are sold rather than hired.
