Hey there,
I just managed to find this forum in my quest for answers so I hope you can help me out here
Sorry if I seem dumb :P
Ok....a few months ago I bought a cast iron fondue set from amazon. I also bought some gel chafing fuel from ebay. this stuff (doh I cant paste urls yet on the site due to the site rules, but if ebay search Sterno Fondue fuel then you'll see what i'm referring to )
The question is....how should I use it .
the fuel tins that I bought have a heat indicator on them - so presumably they're able to be run straight in the tin and distinguished......so what do I do with them? just throw a match into the chafing fuel.....or alternatively not blow myself up, and put some sort of wick or paper or something on it to be the lit part?
The fondue set says it works with methylated spirits or fondue gel, it comes with a smaller sized tray of sorts that it says to put the gel into to go under the fondue. Presumably that would be a better fit for the purpose I'm using the gel for, so I'm guessing that it will be a case of scoop some of this stuff into the bowl...but again, do I just light the gel or some sort of wick
Thanks for the help and again, sorry for the dumb questions :P just trying to stay alive
