Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

What is the main difference between chafer fuel cells with twist-off metal caps and fuel cells with stem wicks and plastic caps?
Once lit, chafer fuel cells with twist-off metal caps provide a quick, safe, and easy way to extinguish the flame at the end of events. The cap can simply be placed over the flame to snuff it out. Chafer fuel cells with stem wicks and plastic caps require a separate snuffer paddle, regulator, or saucer to extinguish the flame.

The last case of dish fuel that I got was extremely hard to open. I had to actually bust out a tool chest, and I'm a strong guy! Impossible to open on the fly at a catering event, for instance. The product works great tho, once you open it.

We purchased these for a catering event and we’re displeased with their overall performance. Though the fuel lasted 4 hrs, it did not adequately hold the heat in the water pans. Even after 4 hours I could put my hand in the bottom chafer pan water and it was not hot like I’m used to with other chafers. Luckily I have a food truck and was cooking on site and able to keep hot food. Will not purchase these again.

You get what you pay for. I’ve used other brands of 6 hour fuel before, and they take longer than the 2 hour style to heat up a chafer. But they were less likely to blow out. But these never heated up my chafing pans, even after 2 hours there was no steam in my pans. Yes, they were on. Even the bottom of the chafer was cool to the touch. Back to my regular brand.

This chafing fuel is inexpensive and lasts for 6 hours. However like some had mentioned in the comments, the caps are screwed on VERY tight. Loosen them before hand with a wrench or you will be struggling to untwist them at your event.

Although it comes with a safety twist cap, I still found it to be the most difficult to open. It actually requires you to use pliers. I don't see me purchasing these items again for that fact alone. However I am giving it three stars solely on that Once you get it open they burn very evenly.

For the money Choice branded fuels can't be beat. However the wick fuels (both the 6 and 4 hour) have the same problem which is the caps leak in transit. The box arrived saturated with fuel (dangerous!) and more than half the cans were half empty.

I bought a couple of cases of this stuff. I've found that the 6 hour cans last closer to 4.5 hours at most. I've had a few events now, where we needed 10 hour operation of our chafing dishes as it was an all day event, and 9 hours into the event, we had already gone through 2 sets of cans and had to start a third set. Luckily I had brought more than enough. That said, these really should be classified as 4 hour chafing dish fuel. I'll still use them. I just know what to expect no w.

This is the best deal around on 6 hour chaffing fuel. Works great for caterings and not much more than the 2 hour cans. There is nothing more embarrassing than finding out your chaffing fuel is empty and you have been serving cold food.

Unfortunately, these fuel cans barely last 4 hours. Purchased them for a Farmers Market event. I set up and lit the cans at 3:30pm (Market started at 400pm). They started smoking (indicating they were out) by 645pm. They were all completely out by 715pm. Next time, I will try another brand or fuel type.

I purchased for a Memorial Day event for 75 people, I only need to use 15 fuel chargers. Great for heating up WARM FOODS. This will not heat up, frozen foods, it's perfect for OUTDOOR bbq, for small- mid size gatherings. The price and shipping were perfect, and the best prices anywhere. No leaks, and no duds, in teh case.

The Choice Wick Chafing Dish Fuel provides a strong, consistent burn and is very easy to light. Even in semi-windy outdoor conditions the wick stays burning strong. The fuel does, however, run out prior to the 6 hour mark, so estimate closer to 5 hours. of true burn time

I purchased the 6 hour chafing fuel because they lasts longer and would not have to be changed out during my event. They burned the entire time (4-6 hours). Kept all my dishes steamy hot!

This product does what it is intended to do but on average we only get 5 hours burn time. Burns cleaner than other fuels and leaves very little residues.

These fuels in a fully open state with the sturno lid open fully do not heat water in the chafing dish. We used using standard full tin pan setup and after one hour of being on the water was barely luke warm. Sub-par product. Regular Fuels need to have the shield half-closed otherwise you get rapid boil. These do not function.
