When it comes to buffet service, consistency is everything. The last thing you want is a fuel that peters out halfway through lunch.

It’s a solid, professional choice.

Hannah Cartwright – Buffet Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Top-Tier Safety: The cool-touch can and  non-flammable liquid are brilliant for busy staff.
  • Wick is Vital: Remember it only works with the wick, so don't lose it!

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Nottingham Conference Centre needed a safer, more reliable fuel for its extensive buffet services after experiencing inconsistent burn times with a previous supplier. They needed a solution that would last the entire lunch service without needing a risky mid-service swap.

"We switched to the Olympia CB734 chafing fuel and  the difference was immediate. The four-hour burn is spot on, and  our team feels so much safer handling the cool-touch cans. It’s taken a real weight off our minds during busy events."

Samuel Jones – Head of Operations

The change completely eliminated fuel changeovers during service, leading to a noticeable improvement in buffet presentation and  staff efficiency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the fuel can securely inside your chafing dish holder before lighting.
  • Unscrew the cap and  carefully light the exposed wick with a long lighter.
  • Never attempt to light the fuel directly without the wick in place.
  • Ensure the chafing dish and  fuel are on a stable, level, and  heat-resistant surface.

Keeping It Going

  • To extinguish, carefully and  safely place the cap back over the wick to starve it of oxygen.
  • If a can is only partially used, the resealable cap prevents evaporation for next time.
  • Store unused cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  • Although the container is cool-touch, always handle with the care expected in a professional kitchen.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chafing Fuel

Not sure which fuel fits your setup best? Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

Burn Time is Key

Match the fuel's burn time (like this 4 hour liquid chafing fuel) to the length of your service. It saves you from swapping hot cans mid-event.

Check the Safety Features

Look for cool-touch containers, resealable lids, and  non-spill formulas. These features protect staff and  minimise risk in a busy environment.

Consider the Fuel Type

Ethanol-based fuels are known for being clean-burning and  odourless, which is vital for preserving the authentic taste and  aroma of your food.

Think About Storage

A 'non-hazardous' classification is a huge plus. It simplifies storage and  transport, which is invaluable for mobile caterers or kitchens tight on space.

Gel vs. Liquid?

Liquid fuels, like this one, typically provide a more consistent and  steady heat output, which is ideal for keeping food at a precise, safe temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this fuel safe to use indoors?

A: Yes, absolutely. It is specifically designed for professional indoor catering use, providing clean-burning, odourless heat that is safe for event spaces.

Q: How do I extinguish the flame?

A: It's simple and  safe. Just place the resealable cap back over the wick, which cuts off the oxygen and  extinguishes the flame instantly.

Q: What does 'cool-touch' actually mean?

A: The container is engineered to remain at a safe, cool temperature even while the fuel is lit, which helps to prevent accidental burns during handling.

Q: Can I reuse a can if it hasn't been fully used?

A: Yes. Extinguish the flame with the cap and  seal it. The ethanol chafing dish fuel won't evaporate, so it will be ready to use next time.

Q: What is the fuel made from?

A: This is an ethanol-based liquid fuel, valued for being a clean and  efficient heat source for food warming applications.

Q: Will it leave a strong smell?

A: No. It is formulated to be completely odourless to ensure that it does not interfere with the aroma and  taste of your carefully prepared food.

Q: Why is the wick so important?

A: The wick is essential for safe combustion. The fuel itself is non-flammable without the lit wick, which is a crucial safety feature of the design.

Q: How many cans are included in a pack?

A: This product is supplied as a box of 12 individual fuel cans, making it easy to stock up.

What Does 'Non-Hazardous Fuel' Actually Mean for Your Business?

Seeing 'non-hazardous' on a product like this might seem like a minor detail, but for a professional kitchen, it's a huge operational win. It means the liquid ethanol chafer fuel isn't subject to the strict storage and  transport regulations that govern many other chemical products. For you, this translates to real-world simplicity. You don't need special ventilated cupboards or costly transport documents to handle it. Think of it like this: it’s the difference between storing a bottle of washing-up liquid versus a drum of potent bleach. This fuel sits firmly in the 'easy' category, saving you logistical headaches, paperwork, and  potential compliance costs, which is especially brilliant for mobile caterers or kitchens where space is at a premium.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Event Caterers: Perfect for keeping food hot at weddings and  corporate functions without constant monitoring.
  • Hotels & Conference Centres: Ideal for breakfast buffets and  large-scale events, ensuring consistent heating for hours on end.
  • Restaurants with Buffets: A reliable chafing fuel for catering that simplifies your Sunday carvery or themed nights.
  • Mobile Food Vans: The non-hazardous rating makes transport and  storage brilliantly simple for on-the-go service.
