What is what is a Patio Gas Bottle?

Patio gas is distinct from propane in that it's a specific brand of LPG that has been refined specifically for outdoor use. It can be propane or butane. Both are equally efficient and can be used for outdoor appliances, such as barbecues and patio heaters. However propane is more suitable for colder temperatures.
All of our gas bottles feature an integrated Gas Trac indicator so that you are able to easily determine when the gas is low. They're also compatible with a large variety of barbecues and outdoor heating equipment. If you have a BBQ that has only two or one burner, then our patio gas bottle that weighs 5kg is the perfect. It will last a long time before needing to be refilled.
If gas patio heater pyramid own a big barbecue that has four burners or more, or are planning to purchase one in the future, we recommend our gas bottle for patio use of 13kg. This bottle isn't just suitable for barbecues but also provides you with enough gas to run your patio heater during long summer evenings.
Propane and butane have slightly different boiling points. While butane is a little warmer than propane, propane is able to boil at around -42degC. This means that propane is better for outdoor use, whereas butane can be used indoors for appliances like portable heaters and single-burner cooking appliances.
The cylinder valve on each of our gas bottles is connected to a regulator which controls the pressure that the gas is released when connected to an appliance. This is crucial since the temperature of the appliance can greatly influence the rate of gas release and, in turn, cause fire or damage. The regulator is connected to the cylinder by a screw-in or clip-on regulator depending on the kind of cylinder and bottle you purchased.
What is a Patio Gas Cylinder?
It can be confusing to use the term "porch gas" as it could mean propane or butane. Patio gas is a particular kind of LPG that is sold for outdoor appliances like barbeques and heaters for patios. As a result, the cylinders are of a particular size and type that can only be used with these types of appliances. They may not fit standard BBQ bottles or other appliances unless a conversion kit has been purchased.
The majority of leisure equipment comes with an adjustable regulator that lowers the pressure as the gas moves from the bottle into the appliance. The regulators are connected to the cylinder heads using either a screw or clip connection, depending on the size and type of bottle (see below for further information). Propane and Butane are two types of LPG. However they have a different boiling point, so you cannot interchange them unless you also change the gas regulator on your appliance.
All Calor butane and propane gas bottles come with the Gas Trac indicator. This will notify you when it is time to replace your gas 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 is a reference to the quarter that the test is due. (A for the first and B for the next and so on.) And the number is the year of the test.
Patio gas cylinders have a green lid, and are designed to be used in combination with a clip-on regulator that measures 27mm. It can be used for barbecues using butane indoor portable heaters, as well as other appliances that work with propane or butane.

The bottle has easy-to-carry handles and a gas gauge on the side, so you can know when to refill. The smaller propane gas bottle from Calor will last up to 14 BBQs which makes it a cost-effective alternative for your garden.
The bottles can be used with a variety of regulators that connect the bottle to your patio heater or barbecue. These types of propane gas bottles usually have a built-in Gas Trac indicator to tell you when it's time to get refills. You'll also find that some small propane gas bottles are fitted with a strap that can be worn over the shoulder to help you carry it and store.
Butane and propane are typically sold in bottles that look similar. Butane is stored in blue cylinders and is suited for camping cooking appliances that are single burners and indoor heating. In contrast, propane is stored in green cylinders and is used for outdoor living appliances like barbeques and patio heaters.
Both kinds of gas are available in a variety of sizes, from 3.9kg to 47kg. This range includes both "clip on" and "screw in" propane cylinders. The cylinders that are 'clip on' can be connected to your barbecue by pushing them on the propane regulator, while'screw in' propane bottled require you to screw them in place.
The cost of propane gas is dependent 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 an establishment that sells 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. A lot of retailers offer both types of propane cylinders so you can select the one that best suits your requirements. Comparing prices for propane on the internet is a great way to make sure you're getting the most affordable price.
13kg Patio Gas Bottle
The 13kg patio bottle is ideal for barbecues, since it provides the energy required to power small and medium-sized barbecues (3 burners at a minimum), pizza ovens, and Chimeneas. It's also the preferred choice for camping and fuelling heating and cooking appliances in static and touring caravans. It can be used in narrow boats and catering vehicles.
Patio gas bottles are large propane gas cylinders. The regulator on the bottle transforms liquid propane into gas that can be used in barbecues. It is crucial that the correct type of gas regulator is attached to the appliance so that the appropriate pressure can be reached. The regulator should be removed and the gas bottle securely stored away when not in use as an extra precaution against gas leaks.
Propane has lower boiling temperatures than butane, which makes it ideal for outdoor use in cold temperatures. Gas bottles for patio use are available in green, whereas red propane cylinders can be purchased with screw-in regulators. They vary in sizes ranging from 3.9kg to 47kg.
A 13kg gas bottle contains around 26 litres of liquid propane. It can provide hours of grilling depending on the size of the BBQ and its efficiency. Gas bottles can be extended by using an efficient BBQ and by checking the gas levels regularly and following the most efficient practices.
It's always a good idea to store your gas bottle outside in a location that is cool and dry. Storing the gas bottle indoors is not recommended as it increases the chance of a fire or explosion. It is also recommended to keep the gas bottle away from flame-prone objects, such as curtains and clothing.
When it's time to replace a bottle of patio gas make sure you take off the regulator and clean the valves before reattaching them. Gas bottles that are empty shouldn't be thrown away in the normal garbage due to safety and environmental risks. Take your empty gas bottles to a recycling centre that accepts them, or call the manufacturer for return and commercial collection options.
