Have you been looking for a way to make your buffet setup safer, cleaner, and greener?  EcoBurner is the solution you need to increase your profitability, elevate your environmental stewardship, and offer a luxurious look for an elevated guest experience! 

EcoBurner Explained

EcoBurner is a refillable burner that is placed under chafing dishes in lieu of traditional gels and wicks in foodservice operations. It is a safe, clean, and green option for replacing chafing fuel.  Get to know the product by watching this video.

EcoBurner Benefits 

Safe for Operators and Guests 

The safety features of EcoBurner are unmatched. EcoBurner is cool to the touch, can be moved or adjusted during service, and has fail-safes that turn off if it overheats or turns over. There are no open flames or chemicals, so staff and guests do not need to worry about aggressive burns or ingesting toxic fumes. Watch the safety video here,

Environmentally Responsible 

EcoBurner is refillable and reusable, eliminating the need for single use chafing fuel and making this product ZERO WASTE. One can of the EcoBurner fuel is equal to 18 single units of chafing fuel.  The Ecoburner unit and its fuel cans are recyclable, so all of this can stay out of the landfill and unlike traditional gel and wick fuels they do not need to be disposed at a hazardous waste facility. Due to the recyclable nature of the EcoBurner unit and the fuel, companies can also qualify for Green Points, which allow them to earn environmental certifications for their facility. 

EcoBurner units also have “up to 75% less carbon than gel/wicks,” massively lowering your company’s carbon emissions. 

Unlike gel and wick fuels that are often thrown out after service, even if there is some remaining fuel in the can, EcoBurners can be turned off and stored for re-use, thereby utilizing all of the fuel that is filled inside the can at a future date.  So, not only are cost savings recouped, but less hazardous waste is hitting the landfill with every function and every drop of fuel is used! 

See below for accessory options to make your buffet ZERO WATER too! 

Adjustable Heat Output 

If the reasons above aren’t enough to persuade you, consider this: the heat output on each can is adjustable!  Gel and Wick fuels offer one heat setting: full, hot, scorch!  With Ecoburner, you can adjust to a lower heat setting to best complement your menu item.  No more burnt coffee at the bottom of that urn!     

Smokeless and Flameless 

Additionally, EcoBurner is smokeless and flameless, so it won’t scorch your chafing dishes. “EcoBurner is a clean burn, so staff spend less time cleaning cookware.”  With no open flame and the auto-shut off feature, EcoBurner also reduces the risk of fire if dropped or knocked over. 

Windproof and Portable 

Because there is no flame, an EcoBurner is actually wind proof and can withstand an outdoor setting on a breezy beach or an Irish cliffside.  And because they stay cool to the touch, an EcoBurner can be moved during service should the need arise.  Traditional gel or wick fuels are hot to the touch and are not safely movable during service. 

How Does it Work? 

EcoBurners are easy to fill and use in your operation.  Each unit comes with an instruction sheet.  Check out this video for the steps to take to get up and running.

Then, download the Standard Operating Procedure to keep for reference and to train your staff.  And when it comes time for storage, simplify your process with the EcoBurner Storage Rack. 

Multiple Ways Go Waterless!

Yes! That’s what we said.  Eliminate the need to use water pans on your buffet.   

Why Waterless Matters? 

EcoPan: Transform your Existing Chafer to Waterless! 

EcoBurner offers the EcoPan, waterless chafing dish insert, so go ahead and toss out your old water pan with the bath water!  By using radiant heat plates and an EcoBurner in place of your existing chafer’s water pan, operators can save thousands of gallons of water a year, which is equal to thousands of dollars in cost savings and also thousands of hours in labor managing the water pan filling, transporting and refills during event set ups and functions.  This pan retrofits to just  about any existing full-size chafer pan and will quickly pay for itself.  Plus, you’ll be so thankful to be able to avoid the frustrations of water pans during your events including all of the steam that affects your food product consistency! 

For a sleek modern look, EcoBurner offers the EcoServe and EcoRock Waterless chafer lines.  These luxurious designs forget the water pan altogether and were created to operate exclusively with an EcoBurner.   

EcoServe Waterless 

The EcoServe design is sleek, clean, and stackable!  Using a hot plate technology combined with an EcoBurner, it eliminates unnecessary steam that impacts your food quality. When not in use, fold down the legs and stack six EcoServe chafers in the same space that one traditional chafer would take.   In addition to hot applications, the EcoServe Cool Pack offers versatility to transform this product to cold applications.  “Simply freeze the Cool Pack overnight and place it directly on the hot plate. Then, place the pre-chilled dishes on top. This simple process allows users to switch to cold service while effortlessly using the same equipment.” 

EcoRock Waterless Chafer 

If you still want the look of a traditional chafer, EcoRock Waterless Chafer is the product for you!  It is powered by an EcoBurner and integrates the hot plate technology of the waterless EcoPan in a modern design.  It is available in two sizes (6qt and 8qt) and three shapes: rectangle, square, and round.  It has a clear, toughened glass lid with a hydraulic slow close feature.  As an added feature, these can be stacked when not in use to give the ultimate space saving option! 

EcoHold 

Once you understand just how magical an EcoBurner is for your operation, get ready for the newest evolution!  The EcoHold food transport cart is a chameleon for your operation effortlessly changing from hot to cold.  And, it requires no batteries, no cables and no electricity to do so!  Simply use 5 EcoBurners to transform the cabinet to hot holding for 5 hours.  Or, add 10 Cool Packs and it will hold temperatures cold for 5 hours.  This gives you flexibility to change your menu as you see fit and not have to buy two pieces of equipment or remember to plug anything in to warm up.  Designed with you in mind, the door opens via foot pedal, so you don’t have to figure out how to hold it open while your hands are full.   Decide if you want the indoor or outdoor caster options and then focus on the food while we handle the proper transport!
