How to Choose the best campfire S’mores Maker with Sterno Burners
Like any other camping gear, such as pop up tents, there are some important tips for choosing the best S’more maker for your next outdoor parties. Let’s take a look at the things you need to consider!
Source of heat
Some of the S’more makers work on electricity (no-open flame S’mores maker), which is safer if the kids are likely to use these. Meanwhile, the ones we have on the list need an open flame to function: a Sterno burner. Usually, it requires canned chafing fuel. The latter is easier to use as you won’t need to plug it in, but safety measures must be taken carefully.
Accessories
If you’re looking for a S’mores maker, you can check what’s included in the purchase. Does it come with roasting forks, ingredients holders, and canned cooking fuel holder? Mostly the canned chafing fuels are sold separately. But, you can find it quite easy in the grocery stores.
Size
S’more maker offers a larger and smaller size. With a small size, you can only roast a few at a time. Meanwhile, larger S’more makers allow you to roast more. Larger S’mores maker may be an ideal choice if you have a big family or love to host parties.
Other features
Roasting and making S’more using a large campfire is a pure delight. However, making S’mores at home is also enjoyable. When you’re looking for one, you can also check if S’more maker is user-friendly, dishwasher friendly, or comes with a roasting screen for flame protection. Price is also something you need to consider.
Can you roast marshmallows over a Sterno flame?
Technically, yes. However, direct contact with the flame may toast and burn your marshmallows. And keep in mind that anything that drips into the flame may cause flares or a sudden burst of flames. This also answers the question: can you cook food directly over Sterno? That is why the best campfire S’mores maker with Sterno burner comes with a tray where you can put your food indirectly over the Sterno flame.
Is Sterno fuel safe for roasting marshmallows?
For safety measures during camping, yes. The latest makers use only clean-burning fuel of non-toxic and renewable materials. These are made for cooking. Keep in mind that not all Sterno fuel available on the market is safe. Make sure you only get one from a trusted brand and company.
Does Sterno give off carbon monoxide?
Yes, because anything that burns up and turns into fule does give off carbon monoxide. However, the amount is not dangerous even if you accidentally breathe in the air on top of the burner. This is not something you should worry about, especially if you’re camping outdoor.
Is it safe to use Sterno indoors?
100% yes. That said, whenever you use anything with a flame, you should always be careful. It’s a fuel-burning fire anyway. As long as you keep it out of children’s reach and you make sure there’s nothing near it that can catch fire, you’ll be safe. Treat it as you would your gas stove in the kitchen at home.
