Sterno 6 Hour Stem Wick Liquid Chafing Fuel — Pack of 36

Sterno's stem wick chafing fuel is a practical consumable for keeping chafing dishes and bain marie units at safe serving temperatures throughout a buffet or catering event. Each tin uses a non-spill wick design, which reduces the risk of fuel spillage during handling and replacement — a meaningful safety consideration in busy service environments where staff may be moving quickly around buffet stations.

The six-hour burn time makes these tins well suited to extended service periods such as wedding breakfasts, conference lunches, or evening banquets where equipment may need to hold temperature without interruption. A single tin is generally sufficient for most buffet sittings without mid-service changes, which helps keep service running smoothly and reduces the handling risk that comes with swapping fuel mid-event.

• Non-spill wick design reduces fuel spillage risk during handling
• Six-hour burn time suits extended buffet and event catering
• Consistent heat output helps maintain safe food holding temperatures
• Supplied in a pack of 36, reducing restocking frequency for busy operators
• Compatible with standard chafing dish fuel holders

It is worth ensuring your chafing dishes are designed to accept this style of fuel tin before ordering in bulk. Some chafing dish frames specify a particular tin diameter or fuel holder configuration. For high-volume event caterers running multiple stations, buying by the case is typically more practical than ordering individual units.

These tins are most commonly used by contract caterers, event venues, hotels, and hospitality teams running regular buffet service. If you are unsure whether this fuel specification is compatible with your chafing equipment, the team is happy to advise before you commit to a case quantity.
