My new fondue set recommends the Swissmar 3-once tins of gel fuel, but when I ordered them from a very good company at Amazon, the tins opened up in the mail and spread all over the box. I contacted the company and they were very nice and resent the tins at no cost to me. Those opened up in the mail too. Between the two boxes I scraped up enough fuel for my party. I kept one of the tins and bought this bottle of fuel and it didn't break in the mail. I will be ordering this bottle from now on.

I've never cooked fondue before. I got this gel fuel because it seemed more efficient than the typcial "sterno" types. Worked great. Highly recommend.

Good product and very convenient to be used with the Swissmar Fondue pot because of the fact that no cord is needed to heat the pot and it can be placed anywhere on a table or coffee table and not worry about a cord. This fire gel kept the fondue pot very hot for quite a long time and seems very safe to me, just do not overfill the gel pot.

I have never had a fondue party before, and so when I realized I needed fondue fuel, I did my research. This gel was the highest praised because of its refilling easy and long lasting flame. So I bought it and to my joy and relief it worked beautifully. I only had to use about a 1/4 a cup of gel per pot of fondue. And so by the end of the party I still had half a bottle left over. This is defiantly long lasting and doesn't smell like a chemical fire or alcohol fire. And it has a very clean flame and doesn't smoke up the room. Though I would suggest opening a window or have the fondue party outside, because it does throw off some heat.

This liquid gel is so nice! I would say put a small amount of it in the container as it burns for a long time. It's easier to refill than to throw away unused gel. I let it cool down completely before dumping it out as it can be very hot! This is a cheaper and better alternative to the other options. No complaints and shipped just fine.

Works fine with my fondue pot but sometimes I have trouble keeping it lit; I've yet to be able to figure out why. It just seems to go out on its own after a minute or two. Easy clean up though, and works fine once you get it to stay lit.

This is a great addition to have around the house. It makes starting fires in the fire pit as easy as lighting a match. Forget about messing around with newspaper - just a squirt is all you need.

Last's a long time, couldn't of had a more romantic night using this to light up our little fondu pot. I do not remember if I noticed a smell while pouring it, but I definitely do not remember smelling anything bad while it was burning. Ignites easily
