| 2001 | Invention patented by Ross W. Hoffmann on August 23th, 2001. Abstract: A chafing dish fuel canister is provided with a side wall having a lower section, a middle section and an upper section wherein the lower section and the upper section are substantially vertically extending and the middle section is an angled wall, the middle wall section extending outwardly from the lower wall section at an angle of from about 55 to 85 degrees. This creates a tilt angle such that the flame does not burn the lid or side wall of the fuel canister. The chafing dish fuel canister is preferably of a transparent plastic material and upon being overturned maintains the fuel product therein in a safe condition without spillage. |
