What is what is a Patio Gas Bottle? www.fireplacesandstoves.uk is a kind of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) container that is specially designed to be used with outdoor appliances, such as barbecues and heaters for the patio. It is available in green bottles that weigh up to 13kg, and will fit into a regular regulator clip-on. Patio gas differs from propane because it's a brand of LPG which has been reformulated specifically for outdoor use. It's either butane or propane. Both work equally well and can be used to power outdoor appliances such as barbecues and patio heaters however propane is more suited to colder temperatures where butane may struggle. All of our propane patio bottles come with an Gas Trac indicator, so you'll know when the gas level is low. They're also compatible with a range of barbecues as well as outdoor heating appliances. If you have a BBQ with just one or two burners the patio gas bottle of 5kg is ideal. It will last for a long time before needing to be refilled. If you have or are planning to purchase a bigger BBQ with four or more burners, we suggest our 13kg patio gas bottle. It is not only suitable for BBQ's but it also gives you plenty of gas for your heater for your patio particularly during the longer summer evenings. When you are choosing a propane or butane gas bottle you need to consider the kind of leisure device you're using it with as the two types have slightly different boiling points. Propane is able to boil at -42degC whereas butane is at -2degC. This means that propane is more for outdoor use, whereas butane is suitable for indoor use for appliances such as portable heaters and single-burner cooking appliances. The cylinder valves of all our gas bottles is connected to a regulator that controls the pressure at which the gas is released when connected to an appliance. This is important because the temperature of the appliance may influence the rate at which gas releases which could cause damage or even a fire. The regulator connects to head of the cylinder using a clip on or screw in the regulator, which will depend on the kind of bottle and cylinder you have purchased. What is a Patio Gas Cylinder? It is sometimes difficult to understand the meaning of “porch gas” as it could mean either butane or propane. Patio gas is a particular kind of LPG that is sold for outdoor appliances such as barbeques and heating sources for patios. The cylinders are of a certain size and shape and are only used with these types of appliances. They have a special connector and valve that will not work with regular BBQ gas bottles or other appliances that do not have a conversion kit. Most leisure appliances are fitted with a regulator, which lowers the pressure of gas as it moves from the bottle to the appliance. The regulators are connected to the cylinder head with either a clip on or screw depending on the size of the bottle and type (see below for more information). Propane and Butane are two different types of LPG. However they have a different boiling points, which means you cannot interchange them unless you also alter the gas regulator in your appliance. All Calor butane and propane gas bottles come with the Gas Trac indicator. This will let you know when it is time to replace your cylinder. The date of the test for your cylinder can be found on the side collars. It is stamped with two numbers and a letter. The letter indicates the quarter during which the test is due. (A for the first and B for the next and so on.) And the number indicates the year. A Patio gas cylinder is a gas bottle with a green lid and is designed to be used with a 27mm clip on regulator. It can also be used with butane BBQs and indoor portable heaters, and other appliances that work with propane or butane. 5kg Patio Gas Bottle The 5kg gas bottle for patio use is ideal for barbecues (3 burners or less) and table top heaters for patios. It comes with easy-to-carry handles and a gauge for gas levels on the bottle to let you know when it's time for a refill. The smaller propane gas bottle from Calor can last for up to 14 BBQs and is a great value alternative for your garden. The bottles are designed to be compatible with a variety of regulators that connect the bottle to your grill or patio heater. Gas Trac Indicators are built into these types of propane bottles to inform you when it's time to refill. A lot of small propane gas bottles come with a shoulder bag to help you store them and transport. It is essential to understand the distinction between propane and butane since you'll see them both sold in similar looking bottles. Butane is sold in blue cylinders, and is perfect for camping, single-burner kitchen appliances and indoor portable heating. Propane, on the other hand is sold in green cylinders, and is used to power outdoor appliances, such as barbecues and heating for patios. Both kinds of gas are available in a wide range of sizes, ranging from 3.9kg right up to 47kg. This range includes both “clip on” and “screw in” propane cylinders. The cylinders with a 'clip on' are attached to the barbecue by pushing them on to the propane regulator. Screw-in propane bottles require you to screw into the appropriate location. The cost of propane gas is contingent on the size of the bottle and if you have to pay an all-in-one cylinder rental fee. If you want to avoid paying extra, it's best that you purchase your propane gas bottle from a retailer that offers both screw-on and clip-on propane cylinders. This means you can select the type of cylinder which is suitable for your barbeque heater or patio heater. Many retailers sell both kinds of propane cylinders, which means you can pick the one that's best suited to your requirements. Comparing propane gas prices on the internet is an excellent method to ensure you are getting the best price. 13kg Patio Gas Bottle The 13kg gas bottle for patio use is ideal for BBQ use, as it provides the energy required to power small & medium barbecues (3 burners or less), pizza ovens and chimeneas. It's also the most popular choice for camping and fuelling cooking and heating appliances in touring and static caravans. It can be employed in narrow boats as well as catering vehicles. Patio gas bottles are essentially large propane gas cylinders. The regulator inside the bottle transforms liquid propane into gas that can be used for the grill. The correct type of regulator must be fitted to the barbecue to reach the desired pressure. The regulator should be disconnected and the gas bottle should be stored away when not in use to provide an extra precaution against gas leaks. Propane is a better choice for outdoor use in colder temperatures than butane. Gas bottles for patio use are typically green, whilst the red propane cylinders are fitted with regulators that screw in and are available in a variety of sizes from 3.9kg through to 47kg. A 13kg gas canister contains around 26 litres of liquid propane. This can provide hours of grilling time, based on the size of the BBQ and its effectiveness. Using an efficient BBQ design, ensuring gas levels regularly, and adopting the most effective practices can dramatically prolong the life of gas bottles. It's always a good idea to store your gas bottle outside in a cool, dry and dry. Storing it indoors isn't recommended, as this increases the chance of fire or explosion, especially if there is an electrical issue. Keep the gas bottle away objects that are flammable, like curtains and clothing. When you're ready to replace the gas bottle on your patio take the regulator off first and clean the valves. Then reconnect the valves. It's also essential to dispose of the gas bottles in a safe manner, since they shouldn't be thrown away in regular garbage because of safety and environmental risk. Take your empty gas bottles to a recycling facility that accepts them or contact the manufacturer for return and commercial collection options.
