This is an economical chafing fuel, works as well as the name brand. burns clean and keeps the food warm for the full time span. the only negative is that the paper label will burn, and give off the strong smell. this is solved by removing the label prior to lighting.

I've tried all sorts of chaffer fuel and I'm pretty sure this is my favorite! The lids are easy to get off, they are easy to light, and the time length is perfect for an event! Very economical also. The 72 count ensures it'll be awhile till I need to reorder!

They're fine IF you can get them open. They are sealed so tight that it makes them next to impossible to pop open.
Thank you for your review, Stephanie! Our Customer Solutions team has been in contact with you - if you have any further questions or concerns on this order, we are happy to assist!
Box quality is not good. Both boxes arrived torn at the edges and making it difficult to transport.

I am so angry right now. I ordered 72 of these so I can use for our caters and they came in a large box all dented and some are busted open. The smell is horrible. Very disappointed. These are expensive. What a joke.
Thank you for your review, Kim! Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.
We use these fuel cans for every catering event. They light quickly, burn consistently, and don't leave soot on the underside of the water pan.
Less than distributor, always in stock better quality!
These are great for catering. The price is the best I've found. We sell a lot of them to churches, caterers, family reunions, and more. They are always in perfect condition when they arrive.
Great for our events. 2.5 hours is perfect and no waste!
We use this gel chaffing dish fuel regularly for weddings and banquets. Quality and performance are exactly as expected. The fuel is easy to use, long lasting and odorless.
Works fine, but I definitely prefer the ethanol option. These smell, and are not great for indoor use. I'd much rather pay the higher price and get the better product in the future.

bought it for an event at our new banquet facility and it worked perfect. We did not have the food out for too long so the burning time was perfect for all the dishes we served. will be buying again from them
i love the gel chafing fuel. they light fast and burn just as good a wick fuel. they fit just right under my chafing pans
love the gel sternos instead of the wick. Just seems to burn longer but should have ordered the 6 hour. my bad

we love these methanol gel chafing fuel packs they burn very nicely and they are made very well. thank you so so much
The price point on these are great. Unfortunately they smell almost like an electrical fire when they extinguish by themselves. I will stick with the dish fuel from Webstaurant- which is a great value and no smell!
