Heat Basics
Understand Before You Purchase
| Which heat is right for you? | ||
| Because heating needs are different, Candle Lamp Company offers three types of chafing fuels: Stem-Type Wick, Gel and our exclusive POWER PAD®. Each product has unique qualities and burn times that make it more suitable for certain applications. Refer below about the benefits of each. | ||

| POWER PAD® | GEL | STEM-TYPE WICK |
| Advanced HEAT-IT® and all SAFE HEAT® products feature our exclusive Power Pad®. It combines the safety and efficiency of wick fuel with the high heating power of gel. Wide-pad technology produces a broader, hotter flame, while the liquid fuel is sealed inside a steel canister with a spill-safe top. |
Traditional gel fuels are powered by either ethanol (pink) or methanol (blue), both offering strong heating performance for rapid boiling of water in chafing dishes. When output is important, our Power Heat+® Premium ethanol produces a higher level of heat over our Power Heat® methanol. |
Wick fuels incorporate a wick to deliver an optimum flame height that remains steady and strong throughout the burn cycle. Our Power Wick® fuels are powered by a clean-burning liquid fuel for efficiency and safety. |
