Our take on the Sterno Canned Heat Gel Chafing Fuel - Pack of 4

Sterno Canned Heat is a gelled alcohol fuel in a can, made for warming chafing dishes and buffet pans. Each can burns for roughly two hours, so a four-pack covers a party or a long cookout. It is a warming fuel, not a cooking fuel: the flame is small and meant to hold food hot, not to boil or grill. Compared with Sterno's liquid and wick fuels, the gel is the simplest and safest to handle, but it gives less heat than a butane burner or a camp stove.

Questions and answers

Can I use this to cook food?
No. It is a warming fuel for chafing dishes and buffet pans. The flame is too small to boil water or cook raw food.
How long does one can burn?
About two hours per can. A four-pack covers a typical party or a full day of buffet service.
Does it work in any chafing dish?
It fits standard folding chafing racks and most buffet warmers that take canned fuel. Check that your rack holds a can-sized fuel holder.
Is the gel safer than liquid Sterno?
The gel stays in the can if it tips, so it is easier to handle than liquid fuel. The can still gets hot, and the fumes still need ventilation.
Can I use it indoors?
Only in a ventilated room. Burning fuel gives off fumes and smoke, so keep a window or door open and never use it in a tent or closed space.
What is the Prop 65 warning about?
The label carries a California warning that the product can expose you to chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects. Follow the label and keep it away from children.
