home and garden outdoor decoratingHow long does a can of gel fuel last?
If the fire is in a windy location the gel fuel will burn faster than normal. But indoors, under normal conditions you can expect the following: 13oz cans - 2 ½ to 3 hours / 7oz cans -1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours. Ventless fireplace fuel can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours depending on which Real Flame product you are using.
Herein, does gel fuel expire?
Answer: They do have an expiration date. But they will still be useable ( in my opinion ) for much longer , if you keep them in a heated , like basement or utility room.
Beside above, how long will a can of Sterno last?
2 hours
The actual amount of heat that gel fuel fireplaces emit is pretty low, especially when compared to traditional wood burning fire places. A typical gel fireplace gives off 2-3 kw of heat. The fuel to burn in these fireplaces is cheap, but that is because you need many of them in order to have a long burning fire.
