How do you heat a chafing dish?

Kanhaiyalal Hotelwares Chafing dishes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from rectangular to oval and can have hinged, lid, and roll off covers. They also vary in the way they can be heated. They are most commonly heated or gel fuel and a wick placed inside of a metal dish below the chafer. The metal dish serves as a perfect conductor of heat for the low flame below. Alternatively, electric chafers can be plugged into a wall socket, enabling the dish and its contents to enjoy even, continuous electric heating.
