Canned Heat+ & Cooking Fuel by InstaFire

Canned Heat+ & Cooking Fuel is engineered for reliable, controlled heat when the power's out and traditional fuel sources aren't an option. It's a compact, spill-resistant emergency cooking fuel built for preparedness, camping, and safe indoor cooking during power outages — no propane, no electricity, no batteries required.

Each can burns cleanly for up to six hours, giving you enough steady heat to cook multiple meals, boil water, warm food, or add supplemental heat through a compatible device. Made from high-purity diethylene glycol — the same nontoxic chafing fuel trusted by restaurants and caterers — it delivers a consistent flame with virtually zero smoke, soot, or harmful fumes.

Canned Heat+ is designed to work with:

• InstaFire VESTA Heater & Stove
• InstaFire Ember Oven
• Folding camp stoves
• Chafing dishes and food warmers

At just 3.25" around and 2.75" tall, each resealable can tucks easily into emergency kits, bug-out bags, vehicle bins, and kitchen drawers — dependable heat that's always within reach when you need it most.

Choosing the Right Option

Canned Heat+ is an excellent choice when you want a compact, long-burning fuel source that works indoors (with proper ventilation) or outdoors. It's ideal for:

• Power outage cooking — safe for indoor use with adequate ventilation
• Backup indoor heating — with compatible devices like the VESTA
• Camping and off-grid cooking
• Food warming and chafing setups
• Emergency kits where fuel stability and safety matter most

It may not be the right fit if you need high-output heating for large open spaces or bulk cooking for big groups. This fuel is built for controlled, contained heating — not large open flames or high-BTU outdoor cooking.

Key Decision Factors

• Burn Time: Up to 6 hours per can — steady, consistent heat start to finish
• Fuel Type: High-purity diethylene glycol (the same fuel caterers use)
• Safety: Requires a wick to ignite — spilled fuel won't readily light — and cans are child-safe
• Indoor Use: Safe when used with adequate ventilation
• Clean Burn: Virtually zero smoke or soot, no harmful fumes
• Shelf Life: Indefinite when stored properly above freezing
• Freezing Point: May freeze at 16°F (-8°C)
• Compatibility: Sized for folding camp stoves, the VESTA, and the Ember Oven

How This Fits Into Your Survival Plan

Canned Heat+ gives you a stable, controlled heat source when electricity and propane aren't available. It:

• Powers indoor-safe cooking during outages
• Provides supplemental heat in compatible stoves and heaters
• Stores long term without degrading or losing performance
• Allows discreet, smokeless indoor heating that won't reveal your location

Because it's compact, spill-resistant, and resealable, it's easy to stage in multiple places — kitchen cabinet, vehicle kit, emergency bin — so heat is always close at hand.

Designed to Work With Your Existing Setup

Canned Heat+ is the fuel purpose-built for InstaFire's VESTA Heater & Stove and Ember Oven. Using the intended fuel ensures you get the best, safest performance out of these devices.

Because each can burns for roughly six hours, most customers keep multiple 3-packs on hand. Stocking extra fuel means:

• You can cook multiple meals without rationing burn time
• You're ready for extended, multi-day outages
• You won't get caught short when resupply isn't an option

Fuel is what keeps your system running — and having enough stored is the difference between short-term convenience and real, lasting preparedness.
