A Small Patio Gas Bottle From Calor is Perfect For Your Small Patio Area This budget-friendly BBQ is the ideal choice for a small patio. It has all the features of our top pick and is simple to use too! If you're planning a BBQ or pizza al fresco evening or simply need to stay warm when the cold evenings begin to draw in the 5kg gas bottle is the perfect solution. What is a Patio Gas Bottle? A patio gas bottle is a type of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinder that is specifically designed for use with outdoor appliances such as barbecues and heaters for patios. It's available in green bottles that weigh up to 13kg and will fit a standard 27mm clip on regulator. Patio gas differs from propane in that it's a particular kind of LPG that has been developed specifically for outdoor use and can be either propane or butane. Both are equally efficient and can be utilized for outdoor appliances like barbecues and patio heaters. However propane is more suitable for colder temperatures. All of our propane for patio bottles come with a Gas Trac indicator, so you'll know when the gas is running low. They also work for a wide variety of BBQs and outdoor heating appliances. If you're using a barbecue with only one or two burners then our 5kg patio gas bottle is ideal and will last quite a long time before you need to refill it. For those that have or are planning to purchase a bigger BBQ with at least four burners, then we recommend our 13kg patio gas bottle. This bottle isn't just ideal for BBQs however, it will also supply you with enough gas to run your patio heater during the long summer evenings. When choosing a propane or butane gas bottle, you should consider what type of leisure appliance you're using it for as the two types have slightly differing boiling points. Propane boils at -42degC, while butane reaches at 2degC. This means that propane is better for outdoor use, whereas butane is a good choice for appliances like portable heaters or single-burner cooking appliances. The cylinder valve on all of our gas bottles is connected to a regulator that controls the pressure that the gas is released when connected to an appliance. This is crucial because the temperature of the appliance may alter the rate of release of gas, which can lead to damage or a fire. The regulator is connected to the cylinder head via a clip on or screw in regulator, which will be dependent on what kind of bottle and cylinder that you have purchased. What is a Patio Gas Cylinder? The term “porch gas cylinder is a bit confusing since it could refer to two different things: propane or butane. But like the name suggests, patio gas is specifically a kind of LPG cylinder that is sold with outdoor appliances like barbeques and patio heaters in mind. Therefore, the cylinders are a specific size and type, and should only be used with these types of appliances. They come with a specific valve and connector that may not fit the standard BBQ gas bottles or other appliances that do not have a conversion kit. Most leisure appliances come with a regulator that decreases the pressure when the gas is moved from the bottle into the appliance. The regulators are connected to cylinder heads using either a screw or clip connection according to the size and type of bottle (see below for further information). Propane and Butane are both kinds of LPG However, they have different boiling points, therefore they cannot be interchanged unless you swap the gas regulator on your appliance. All Calor propane and butane gas bottles feature an integrated Gas Trac indicator that lets you know when it's time to change your cylinder. You can also see the date of your cylinder's testing by inspecting one of the side collars, which is marked with a letter and two numbers. The letter indicates the quarter that the test is due (A for the first B for the second, A for the first and then on) and the number refers to the year. Patio gas cylinders come with a green lid, and are designed to be used conjunction with a clip-on controller measuring 27mm. It is suitable for butane barbecues, indoor portable heaters and other appliances that can be used with propane or butane. 5kg Patio Gas Bottle The 5kg propane bottle for the patio is perfect for BBQs (3 burners or less) and table top heaters for patios. It comes with convenient carry handles and a gauge for gas levels on the bottle to let you know when it's time for a refill. This smaller propane bottle from Calor can last for up to 14 barbecue sessions, making it a great option for your garden. The bottles are designed to be compatible with a variety of regulators that connect the bottle to your barbecue or patio heater. Gas Trac Indicators are also included in these types of propane bottles to notify you when it's refill time. A lot of small propane gas bottles are equipped with a carry-on bag to help you store them and carry. It is important to understand the difference between propane and butane as you'll often see them both being sold in similar bottles. Butane is stored in blue cylinders and is suited for camping, single burner cooking appliances and indoor portable heating, while propane is stored in green cylinders and is used for outdoor living appliances like barbecues and patio heaters. Both types of gas come in a variety of sizes, from 3.9kg 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 into the propane regulator. Screw-in propane bottles require you to screw into the appropriate location. The price of propane varies depending on the size of the bottle and if you need to pay for a one off cylinder hire charge. To avoid this extra cost it is best to purchase your propane gas bottle from a retailer that offers both 'clip-on' and'screw on' propane cylinders so you can pick which type of cylinder suits your barbecue or patio heater. Many stores offer both kinds of cylinders so you can pick and decide which one is best for your needs. A great way to be sure you're getting the best price is to compare prices for propane on the internet. 13kg Patio Gas Bottle The 13kg patio bottle is ideal for barbecues, since it provides the energy required to power small and medium barbecues (3 burners at a minimum) pizza ovens, and chimeneas. It is also a great option for camping, and for fuelling heating and cooking devices in touring and static caravans. It's also a great option on narrow boats as well as catering vans. Patio gas bottles are large propane gas cylinders. The regulator on the bottle converts liquid propane into gas that can be used for barbecues. It is crucial that the correct type of gas regulator is attached to the appliance so the proper pressure is achieved. To protect yourself from gas leaks, the regulator should be removed from the appliance, and the gas bottle should be stored in a safe manner. Propane is more suitable for outdoor use when temperatures are colder than butane. Gas bottles for patio use are typically green, whereas red propane cylinders have regulators with screw-in screws and come in a variety of sizes from 3.9kg up to 47kg. A 13kg gas container holds about 26 litres of liquid propane that can provide hours of grilling time based on the size and performance of the BBQ. Gas bottles can be extended by using an efficient BBQ, checking gas levels regularly and following the most efficient practices. Store your gas bottle outdoors in a cool, dry location. Storing the gas bottle inside is not recommended as it increases the likelihood of an explosion or fire. Keep the gas bottle out of reach of flammable items, such as curtains and clothing. When you're ready to replace the gas bottle on your patio take the regulator off first, and then clean the valves. Then reattach the valves. It's also important to handle the empty gas bottles in a safe manner, since they shouldn't be thrown into regular rubbish because of safety and environmental dangers. Bring your gas bottles that are empty to a recycling centre that accepts them, or contact the manufacturer to inquire about return and commercial collection options.
