In short: the Kamino-Flam brand sells fireplace and stove accessories, mostly in Germany, and also a fuel paste for fondue burners. It’s a very poorly documented brand: we found neither an official website nor a history, and this page is deliberately short.

The Kamino-Flam brand in a Nutshell
What we know about Kamino-Flam comes from retailers, not from the brand itself. In German shops, it’s presented as a maker of fireplace accessories: firelighters and firelog sticks, refractory cement, fireclay mortar, fireside tool sets, ash buckets and stovepipes. The German comparison site Testsieger lists a handful of products under this name. We found no reliable source on the company behind it, how long it has existed or where it is made: so we won’t say any more.
The link to fondue makes sense: a brand that lives around fire also sells what’s needed to fuel the little burner under the fondue pot. At Raclette Club, it appears for a one-liter refill of fuel paste, which you pour into the burner yourself.

What We Think
The appeal of a one-liter refill is that you fill the burner instead of buying single-use cups. Advertised as soot-free, the paste also avoids blackening the bottom of the fondue pot. The limit is simple: without an official data sheet, we know neither the composition nor the burn time, and the Amazon.fr excerpt even showed it as unavailable when we searched. Check availability before counting on it for Saturday’s fondue.
On the safety side, the rules apply to all fuel pastes: fill the burner when it is cold and unlit, never during the meal, and keep the bottle away from the table.
Which Model Should You Choose?
- For an occasional fondue: ready-to-use cups are enough; see our comparison of fondue pots and their burners.
- For regular fondues: a one-liter refill like Kamino-Flam’s, if it is available.
- To avoid the flame: an electric appliance, which you’ll find in our selection of2-in-1 raclette and fondue machines.
