SunJel Fume-free Firespace Gel Fuel Canister, Pure Gel, 24-Pack

I have ordered the SunJel from other vendors in the past for my gel fireplace. However, I was so happy with the product I got here that I won't be buying from others. Some of the reasons are: virtually no smell from the gel fuel. I know SunJel brand is supposed to be good about this but I have still gotten some from others that I had to open the windows and vent the air (kinda defeats the whole cozy, warm experience). Not with this vendor. I did shake the cans well like you are supposed to do before opening/lighting. Also, I loved that you didn't have a big label on the outside of the cans which always has to be removed first. The flames were beautiful, sounded realistic, and lasted about 2 1/2 hours.

I contacted the Sunjel company myself, and I must say it was a very rewarding experience. What Amazon could not figure out, the customer service lady Kami and the president (Steve) of the company did. When I got off the phone I was very, very happy to know that the president of Sunjel cared enough (out of his busy schedule) to take the time to contact. I have been using other gel fuel and was very dissatisfied. Sunjel fuel is GREAT, NO FURM, NO ORDORS just a wonderful experience and of cause the best price on the internet. I would from my experience advise any an everyone to buy this brand. You will not be sorry plus you will save a tremendous amount of money over the months of usage. Previous today I am retracting my message because I did not get the assistance that I should have receive when I called an spoke with a rep. at amazon. I guest this is what happens when you hire during the holiday season, people who really do not care about the customers. When I got off the phone with Amazon I could have chew a box of nails. Again, my experience with Sunjel after calling them was extraordinary!Thank you Steve you now have a customer for life!

The best feature is not having to remove any paper from the outside of the can, makes much more sense. They did not have as long a burn time as my other brand, about 15 minutes less.

I’ve purchased several brands of gel fuel for my fireplace. This is a great value for the money vs other brands - ordering through subscribe and save qualified me for an additional 5%. Free shipping/Prime option makes it cost effective since the box is heavy and would cost quite a bit to ship otherwise - maybe to a cost prohibitive level. I like this particular brand because it doesn’t have labels on the sides of the can (you have to remove paper labels of other brands because they’ll catch fire and burn when the can gets hot). Having only a label on the lid saves time, as the lid isn’t used when burning the fuel therefore no need to remove the label.On the not so good side, this brand doesn’t “crackle” as much as others and has a slightly unpleasant smell when the can is nearly burned out. I wouldn’t call it offensive and it hasn’t caused me to stop using the brand, but the first time I used this vs other brands I did notice it.If this and Real Flame were offered at the same price, I’d buy Real Flame. But the significant cost difference causes me to choose this brand instead.

I love this fireplace gel. In the past I used Real Flame Gel Fuel but found this one for a cheaper price. I was reluctant to switch but I'm glad I did. This gel is cheaper, has no fumy smell, crackles and pops just like it's counter part and I don't have to waste time peeling off the can label because there is none! There is one down side though...my fireplace set uses 3 gel cans at a time and these cans are like 3/4 full so I end up having to use a 4th can to top them off. Still between the lower cost and the fume free smell...it's worth it!

UPDATE NO 2: I tried this gel again, and it is now clear (so no orange spatter!), which is great, BUT the cans are only filled 2/3 of the way now (they used to be full), and therefor only last 2 hours instead of 3. Disappointing.UPDATE NO 1: I originally gave this 5 stars, but would downgrade to 3, because the gel splatters on the back of the fireplace and leaves an orange speckled pattern. It comes off easy enough with a paper towel and water, but it’s annoying enough that I’ll switch back to my old brand (with the dreaded labels that need to be removed)——- original review below ——I’ve tried a couple of different brands of gel fuel. This one is my favorite for a few reasons: 1. There is no label on the can. It sounds like a minor detail, but other brands have a label you must remove before using, and it’s annoying. 2. There is no smell. Other brands I’ve tried have a faint chemical smell. 3. There is a nice crackling noise that makes you feel like wood is burning, and the flame is strong.

Originally purchased as rocket fuel for a small single stage rocket for asteroid mining. 2hrs of continuous burn seemed to promise budget friendly thrust for my Astro aspirations.Unfortunately it did not work as anticipated and my rocket has been reduced to charred aluminum.I decided to repurpose the gel cans as fuel for my fire bowl. It works very week and burns consistently for 2hrs at a time. Would definitely recommend for fire bowl use.

Pretty good product for the money. Doesn't last as long as the label claims. Sounds like a real cracklin fire and does heat up a small room. Kinda messy though when opening a new can, but at least it doesn't rev up your electricity bill. Good for only very small rooms and mostly for decoration only.
