Burners for S'mores bar??

missGrogan12

We are doing a s'mores bar and we don't want to do a bonfire. What are those "cans of fire" (lol) called and were can I find them? The only time I've seen them is in science class in high school.

They are sterno. You can buy them for about $50 a can. and they will last around 2 hours each. They are safe to cook over.

Check rental stores. They are used under chafing dishes to warm the food. So they should have some to sell.

You should be ablew to find the at cooking stores or even the camping sections.  i have purchaesed them at Walmart for fondue but I can't remember what section.

You can buy them at Sam's Club. You get 12 of them for $13 or so. Good luck!
