Abstract: A wire chafing stand consisting of an upper rim composed of wire rod steel in a closed geometrical configuration having two lateral sides and two longitudinal sides adapted for placement of a chafer containing a food product, a lower rim of wire rod steel spaced apart from the upper rim and a plurality of straight wire legs arranged in pairs extending upright between the upper and lower rims with each pair of wire legs affixed to a lateral side of the upper rim on opposite sides thereof and with each wire leg in each pair disposed in close proximity to the longitudinal side of the upper rim adjacent thereto for forming a gap between the point of attachment of the wire leg and the centerline of the longitudinal side of the upper rim adjacent thereto of less than about 1¼? in dimension.
