Keeping a buffet line, catered event or banquet tray hot starts with the right chafing fuel. This collection brings together wholesale chafing fuel for restaurants, caterers, hotels and community kitchens, as well as home hosts who want a case on hand. You will find Sterno stem wick and handy wick cans with burn times from 2 to 6 hours, Safe Heat cans with a power pad, ethanol and methanol gel fuel canisters, and EcoBurner refill cans for EcoServe heat cans.
When you compare options, check the burn time against the length of your event, the pack count per case (24, 36, 72 and 144 are common here), and the type of fuel your chafing frame or heat can is designed for. Safety twist caps make cans easier to handle and put out, and longer burn times mean fewer changes during service. For a long event, many buyers choose a 4 or 6 hour can; for short trays and sampling, a 45 minute or 2 hour fuel is often enough.
We ship across Canada from Bolton, Ontario, with free delivery across the GTA and no minimum order. Popular picks include the Sterno 5 hour handy wick fuel and the Sterno 6 hour stem wick fuel. Setting up the rest of the buffet? Browse our take-out containers for packing leftovers.
