I imagine that the 6 hrs. is for non windy conditions. Wind or fans etc. can greatly reduce that time IMHO.

Mine burn for over 5 hours, little cans seem to have almost half of the liquid in them left.
I buy mine at Sams Club.

Look at the Sterno. Some are 2 hours and some are 6. It will say on the package.

I hate trying to keep the sternos with leftovers. The farking can tends to leak no matter how tight I screw the lid on.

I use the cans at Smart & Final (2 & 4 hour). Of course, they don't last that long. I have a hard time seeing the use for a 6 hour sterno.

Has anyone looked into getting the electric or propane chafers?
