Product Description
You need dependable heat sources for hot food service. Booking chafing fuel - 2 hour burn time hire gives your catering team exactly that. Each 0.25kg tin contains 200g of natural sugar cane ethanol. This fuel burns without producing smoke or unwanted odours. Your guests smell only the food you serve. Professional caterers rely on these tins to maintain safe serving temperatures during corporate lunches, wedding breakfasts, and gala dinners.
Event organisers pair these tins with standard chafing dishes. You place the tin underneath the water pan and light the wick. The flame produces steady heat for up to two hours. This duration covers standard buffet service windows. When you book catering equipment hire, calculating your fuel requirement prevents mid-service interruptions. You order these tins as single units at £1.50 ex-VAT each, allowing precise stock control for your specific guest numbers.
