Do you use sterno for that?

[-] Pantoffel@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, what's sterno? Non-native English speaker here.

alcohol gel pot, the little tins with blue goo in them used by caterers.

Though judging by the small glass in there you either burn alcohol directly or use a candle.

Ah, thank for the explanation. No, we are using small candles.

[-] ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

In the US we call them "tea candles" and I only now realized why.

Yeah I was about to mention that, It's exactly where that terminology came from.
