Chafing Dish Hire — 8 Qt Stainless (with Fuel)

Keep food hot and service smooth. Our commercial stainless-steel chafing dishes are ideal for buffets, worksite BBQs, weddings and community events.

What’s included (per chafer)

• 8 Qt / full-size food pan (stainless)
• Water pan + lift-off lid
• Frame with 2 × fuel holders
• 2 × chafing fuel cans (2–3 hrs each)
• Serving tongs

Key details

• Capacity: 8 Qt (≈7.5 L) — great for mains or bulk sides
• Use hot (with fuel) or cold (over ice in the water pan)
• Food-contact parts are sanitised between hires

Venue requirements

• Stable, heat-safe table (avoid plastic cloth directly under the burners)
• Indoor/under cover preferred; shield from wind outdoors
• Keep children and the public behind the table line

Setup (easy)

1. Place the frame on a stable surface; insert fuel cans (don’t light yet).
2. Add water pan with ~2–3 cm of hot water.
3. Insert food pan (hot food goes in hot—chafers are for holding, not cooking).
4. Light fuel and cover with the lid between serves to retain heat.

Pack-down after your event

1. Extinguish fuel by replacing the can lids (do not blow).
2. Allow to cool; empty water safely.
3. Rinse/wipe pans; we complete full clean & sanitise back at the workshop.

Safety

• Adult operation only; open flame present.
• Keep away from decorations, curtains and balloon garlands.
• Never move a lit chafer. Use only the supplied fuel in holders.
