ECOBURNER
GOALS
REPLACE GELS AND WICKS
We believe if those little pots were created today, they would never be
allowed near food. Accidents and staff injuries happen too often when gels or
wicks are being used and we want to stop that. They are also full of toxic
chemicals that usually end up in landfill after every service making them
single-use items that are detrimental to our environment.
STOP WASTING WATER
There’s no need for staff to waste time, effort and fuel transporting, heating
and disposing of water at the buffet. It wastes energy and resources that are
precious and EcoBurner can offer venues a better way thanks to our hotplate
technology that eliminates the need for water completely.

WHAT IS THE
EcoBurner
A refillable burner that’s placed under chafing dishes to provide portable
heat for buffet food. The EcoBurner is refilled with EcoBurner fuel after
service so that every drop of fuel is used or saved for the next service. Each
can of EcoBurner fuel gives up to 36 hours of burn time. It’s a SAFER CLEANER
& GREENER alternative to single-use gels and wicks.
ECOBURNER #EB18999 ECOBURNER FUEL #EB19009

The call to eliminate gel and wick pots from hospitality settings is getting
louder. Hotel managers realise the dangers of having these pots of chemicals
near food and most have heard stories of terrible injuries resulting from the
mishandling of these single-use items. EcoBurner is different, it’s the safer
option for staff to handle and guests to be around.
Always cool-to-touch
Switches off if overturned or over-heats No open chemicals near food
SAFER
CLEANER
Every Food & Beverage manager in the industry is all too familiar with the
black smoky residue left on the underside of chafing dishes when gels or wicks
are being used as a heat source. EcoBurner is a clean burn so staff spend less
time cleaning cookware.
No black, smoky residue left on cookware.
No toxic fumes = pleasant atmostphere for guests. No risk of fuel spills.
The EcoBurner is refillable so every drop of fuel is either used or saved for the next service meaning ZERO FUEL WASTE. Each EcoBurner fuel can is the equivalent or 18 gel/wick pots so vast amounts of waste are prevented from going to landfill. Carbon Footprint Ltd. certifies that EcoBurner emits up to 75% less carbon than gels/wicks.

By switching to EcoBurner, venues can benefit from significant savings so
we’ve compared a traditional water-based chafing dish buffet using gels to an
EcoRock WATERLESS buffet powered by EcoBurner. The buffet is served using 20
chafers,
twice a day, for three hours each service.

WATER
Every water-based chafing dish uses aproximately 0.264 gal (US) of water per
hour:
20 (Chafers) X 2 (twice a day) X 3 (Hrs. per service) = 120 hours per day X
0.264
(0.264 gal per hour) = 31.7 gallons per day
31.7 gallons (US) of water are saved every day.
That’s the equivalent of 11,571 gal (US) per year if this buffet is ran every
day.
31.7 gal (US) per day
11,571 gal (US) WATER per year
By eliminating the need for water at the buffet, hotels benefit from:
Reduced water usage Reduced staff hours handing water. Reduced risk of injury
from handing water. Reduced energy usage from not having to heat up water.
85 Gel Pots
(9.4 lbs) per
day
31,280 Gels (1.71 Tons waste) per year
Hotels reduce waste in a number of ways: Reduced fuel waste – every drop of
EcoBurner fuel is used unlike gels/wicks that are often disposed of with left-
over fuel remianing at the end of every service. Reduced packaging waste –
Each EcoBurner fuel can is the equivalent of 18 cans of gels/wicks. Recyclable
packaging – EcoBurner fuel cans are fully recyclable!
WASTE
20 (Chafers) X 2 (twice a day) X 3 (Hrs. per service) = 120 hours per day.
Divide by 0.7 (typically 30% gel/wick fuel wasted every service) = 171.4 hrs
gel fuel needed.
Divide by 2 (2-hour gel) = 85.7 gel pots used.
Multiply by 1.76oz (Each wasted gel pot weighs approx. 1.76oz) = 150.8oz (9.4
lbs) waste per day

6.6 Tons CARBON per year
Carbon Footprint Ltd., an independent UK body, certifies EcoBurners’ carbon
savings. Their report compares carbon emissions from various heating methods
used in a three-hour buffet service: DEG, Ethanol, Methanol gels/wicks,
Induction, and EcoBurner. When EcoBurner is compared to the average of the
gels/wick, the savings per hour are 0.137 kg CO2e.
CARBON
20 (Chafers) X 2 (twice a day) X 3 (Hrs. per service) = 120 hours per day.
Multiply by the carbon savings per hour compared to EcoBurner as certified by
Carbon Footprint Ltd.

saved per day = 36.24 lbs

20 (Chafers) X 2 (twice a day) X 3 (Hrs. per service) = 120 hours
1 EcoBurner is required under every chafing dish
Cost of
so 120 hours of EcoBurner fuel is needed:
EcoBurner $15 divided by 36hrs. per can = $0.42 per hr.
$0.42 multiplied by 120 hours = $50.40
Cost of 2 gel pots are required under every chafing dish
Gel Pots
2 gels x 20 chafers x 2 (twice a day)= 80 gels x $1.90 (per gel) = $152
$152 (Cost of gels) minus $50.40 (Cost of EcoBurner fuel) = $101.6 savings per day
$101.6 per day
$37,084 per year 66.8% savings
Each market is very different so these costs are based on each 4-hr gel pot
costing $1.90. We’ve taken a global average of EcoBurner fuel costing
customers $15 per can. The cost savings can vary depending on fuel costs but
this typical buffet shows a very positive cost saving to venues who switch to
EcoBurner.
5.33 hrs per day
1,946 hrs saved per year
When hotels opt for traditional water-based chafing dishes, their staff must
constantly tend to filling, heating and monitoring water levels, and
ultimately disposing of the water after service. By switching to EcoRock
WATERLESS chafers, this eliminates the unnecessary water handling, saving
roughly 8 minutes per chafing dish.
TIME
8 minutes savings per chafer X 20 chafers = 160 minutes
Multiply by 2 (twice a day) = 320 mins per day
Divide by 60 (change to hours) = 5.33 hrs. per day This equates to 1,946 hours
per year which significantly reduces cost of staff.

EcoBurner is the most sustainble method of portable heat for buffets but just
like any equipment, it’s important staff know how to use it correctly. The
Filling Station is essential and all staff should be trained on correct use.
Best practice for all venues is to use the EcoBurner Storage Rack to ensure
safe and convenient storage of EcoBurners not in use. The SOP stickers should
be displayed near the EcoBurner storage area as it promotes best practices for
all staff.
FILLING STATION #EB19502
A filling station is provided FREE of CHARGE to every venue that uses EcoBurners. It is essential that staff use the filling station to measure how much fuel is contained in each EcoBurner. The fuel level should be checked before and after filling each EcoBurner.
ECOBURNER STORAGE RACK #EB15337
The EcoBurner Storage Rack should be used to securely store the EcoBurners when they’re not in use. Staff can follow the lasermarked instructions on the steel plate for the correct storage procedure. Each rack holds 8 EcoBurners and can be stacked, allowing for efficient and organised storage.
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES SOP STICKERS #EB19962
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are available FREE of CHARGE as large printed stickers that should be displayed near the EcoBurner storage area. This ensures that staff have easy access to clear instructions on the best practices for filling, storing, and using the EcoBurners.
