Customers Say

Customers appreciate the long burn time of this chafing dish fuel, noting it generally lasts close to the advertised duration, though some report shorter times. The fuel is praised for keeping food warm effectively, but some users find the caps difficult to open. Overall, it is considered a reliable and cost-effective option for heating needs at events.

We purchased these for a catering event and we’re displeased with their overall performance. Though the fuel lasted 4 hrs, it did not adequately hold the heat in the water pans. Even after 4 hours I could put my hand in the bottom chafer pan water and it was not hot like I’m used to with other chafers. Luckily I have a food truck and was cooking on site and able to keep hot food. Will not purchase these again.

We appreciate your review, Mitchel. We wish this product would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

Hope I am not doing something wrong. My guys are telling me that it does not light up for more than 2 hrs. Also the flame size is smaller than other brands. Please have this producted tested.

Thank you for your review, Ashok! We are sorry this Choice 4 Hour Wick Chafing Dish Fuel with Safety Twist Cap - 24/Case has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

For the money Choice branded fuels can't be beat. However the wick fuels (both the 6 and 4 hour) have the same problem which is the caps leak in transit. The box arrived saturated with fuel (dangerous!) and more than half the cans were half empty.

We appreciate your feedback! We’re sorry this arrived damaged. A Customer Solutions Representative will be contacting you soon.

These fuels in a fully open state with the sturno lid open fully do not heat water in the chafing dish. We used using standard full tin pan setup and after one hour of being on the water was barely luke warm. Sub-par product. Regular Fuels need to have the shield half-closed otherwise you get rapid boil. These do not function.

Thank you for your review, Julie! A Customer Solutions Representative has been in touch with you on this chafing dish fuel. Please reach out with any questions!

We use these for catering. 4 hours is the perfect time and these lasts a little more than that. Maybe 15 to 20 minutes extra. Which is really good. We can rely on them to last for 4 hours minimum.

I purchased the 4 hour wick chafing fuel cans for some events that I was hosting and they hold true to their quality. They are easy to open, light and you just set them and they do their job of heating whatever food pan you are wanting to warm.

Longer lasting wick chafing dish fuel. 12 pack is nice as you always have them on hand if needed. Kept continuance flame. Used two per chafing dish to keep pasta warm, and they did the job.

these are an excellent chafing fuel canister to be used when keeping food hot on a buffet line. We use them for church dinners and events like that. They come in a 2 hour, 4-hour, and 6-hour variety I think. My ONLY complaint about these is that the tops are so hard to take off on some of them - and the lids are impossible to grip becuase they're so slim, other than that they're great!

Chafing burning does what it says but the caps are very hard to screw off. We actually had to take a tool to pry it open. Works well but very hard to open.

I've always used the gel chafing fuel, but I decided to give these a try. They seem to work just as well and are safer in that they can't spill or leak like the gel. The flame stays big and hot, so they seem work just as well.

This is an excellent chafing dish fuel. It is a little hard to remove the twist lids, but easier than typical pop off lids; and the fuel is excellent; burns slow and clean

Great product and super easy to use! I use to buy the gel fuel as it was cheaper but decided to go with something that had a little more burn time and these were perfect. They burned longer than the 4 hours and the lids were so easy to remove compared to gel lids. The best is, there is no longer wasted fuel, whatever is left you can just easily reapply the lid and use again later.

Economical chafing fuel. Costs about half as much as locally available equivalent. Have had no problems getting the advertised burn time from them. Can’t go wrong with these.

These lasted a long time and provided great heat. The tops were a bit difficult to get off and I needed a wrong to do so but when running they were great.
