1. A chafer device comprising:
a skirt member comprising an elastic material, the skirt member having a sheet made from the elastic material with two opposing edges securely attached together;
an attachment member attached to the sheet;
wherein the skirt member includes a plurality of folding parts and is removably attached to a top perimeter of a chafing dish frame via the attachment member;
wherein the skirt member wraps around the chafing dish frame and extends downward from the top perimeter of the chafing dish frame to form a wall around the chafing dish frame, thereby enclosing a heat source below the chafing dish frame;
wherein the skirt member further comprises two apertures configured to receive two chafing dish handle arms on opposing sides such that the positioning of said apertures further causes the skirt member to tightly attach to the edges of the chafing dish and the chafing dish frame; and
a plurality of corner fasteners placed on each corner of the skirt member to tightly attach the skirt member to the chafing dish frame.
