What is a Patio Gas Bottle?

A patio gas bottle is a form of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylindrical that is made to be used with outdoor appliances like barbecues and patio heaters. It is available in green bottles that weigh up to 13kg, and will fit into a standard regulator clip-on.

Patio gas is different from propane because it's a type of LPG which has been reformulated specifically for outdoor use. It can be either butane or propane. Both are equally effective and can be used 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 can see when the gas is low. They're also compatible with a variety of BBQs and outdoor heating appliances. If you own a barbecue that only has two or three burners and you want to use our gas patio bottle of 5kg is ideal. It will last for a long time before needing to be filled.

If you have a large BBQ with four burners or more, or plan to purchase one in the future we recommend our patio gas patio heater outdoor bottle of 13kg. Not only is this suitable for BBQ's but it also gives you plenty of gas for your heater for your patio particularly during the long summer evenings.

When choosing a propane or butane gas bottle, you need to consider the kind of leisure device you're using it with since the two kinds have slightly different boiling points. Propane is able to boil at -42degC while butane boils at 2degC. This means that propane is better suited to outdoor use whilst butane is suitable for indoor use 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 that is liquefied releases through when connected to an appliance. This is important as the temperature of the appliance can influence the rate at which gas releases which could cause damage or even a fire. The regulator is connected to the cylinder by clips-on or screw-in regulators, depending on the type of cylinder and bottle you purchased.

What is a Patio Gas Cylinder?

The term "porch gascylinder' can be confusing as it may mean two different things: propane and butane. But, as the name suggests it is a type of LPG cylinder that is sold with outdoor appliances, such as barbeques and patio heaters in mind. The gas cylinders have a specific size and shape and should only be used with these types of appliances. They have a special valve and connector that may not be compatible with the standard BBQ gas bottles or other appliances without the conversion kit.

The majority of leisure equipment comes with a regulator that reduces the pressure when the gas is moved from the bottle into the appliance. The regulators connect to the cylinder head by either a clip on or screw dependent on the size of the bottle and type (see below for more information). Propane and Butane are two types of LPG. However, they have different boiling point, so you cannot interchange them unless you also change the gas regulator inside your appliance.

All Calor butane and propane gas bottles come with a Gas Trac indicator. This will notify you when it is time to replace your cylinder. The test date of your cylinder can be found on the side collars. It's engraved with two numbers and an alphabet. The letter denotes 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 feature lids that are green, and are made to be used conjunction with a clip-on regulator that measures 27mm. It can be used for butane barbecues, indoor portable heaters and other appliances that can be used with propane or butane.

5kg Patio Gas Bottle

The 5kg gas bottles for patio use are ideal for table top barbecues and patio heaters that have 3 burners or fewer. The bottle is easy to carry and a gas gauge on the side so you can determine when you should refill. The smaller propane gas bottle from Calor can last up to 14 BBQ sessions and is a great value alternative for your garden.

The bottles can be used with various regulators that connect the bottle to your outdoor heater or barbecue. These types of propane gas bottles also have a built-in Gas Trac indicator to tell you when it's time for a refill. You'll also notice that some small propane gas bottles are fitted with a strap for the shoulder to make it easier to carry and store.

It is important to understand the distinction between propane and butane as you'll see them both sold in similar looking bottles. Butane is stored in blue cylinders and is best used for camping and cooking appliances with a single burner and indoor heating. In contrast, propane is stored in cylinders that are green and is utilized for outdoor appliances such as barbeques and patio heaters.

Both kinds of gas are available in a vast variety of sizes ranging from 3.9kg right up to 47kg. This range includes both "clip on" and "screw in" propane cylinders. 'Clip on' cylinders can be attached to your barbecue by pushing them onto the propane regulator, while'screw into' propane bottles require you to screw them in place.

The cost of propane gas is dependent on the size of the bottle as well as whether you are required to pay an all-in-one cylinder hire charge. To avoid this extra cost it is recommended to purchase your propane gas fired patio heaters bottle from a company that offers both 'clip-on and screw on' propane cylinders, so you can pick which type of cylinder suits your barbecue or patio heater. A large number of retailers provide both types of cylinders, so you can choose which is right for your needs. Comparing prices for propane on the internet is an excellent method to ensure you're getting the most affordable price.

13kg Patio Gas Bottle

The 13kg patio bottle is perfect for BBQs, as it provides the energy required to power small and medium-sized barbecues (3 burners or less) pizza ovens and Chimeneas. It's also a popular option for camping and fuelling cooking and heating appliances in touring and static caravans. It can also be utilized in narrow boats and catering vehicles.

Large patio gas bottles are propane gas cylinders. When attached to a BBQ, the regulator on the bottle converts the propane liquid into usable gas for the appliance. It is essential that the right type of gas regulator is connected to the appliance so the right pressure can be achieved. To prevent gas leaks, the regulator needs to be removed from the appliance, and the gas bottle must be stored in a safe manner.

Propane has lower boiling temperatures than butane, so it's suitable for outdoor use in cold temperatures. Gas bottles for patio use are available in green, while red propane patio gas cylinders are available with screw-in regulators. They vary in size from 3.9kg to 47kg.

A 13kg gas bottle contains about 26 litres of propane liquid. This can give you hours of grilling depending on the size of the BBQ and its effectiveness. Using an efficient BBQ design, ensuring gas levels regularly, and following the most effective practices can dramatically increase the lifespan of gas bottles.

Place your gas bottle outdoors in a cool and dry place. Storing it indoors isn't recommended, as this increases the risk of explosion or fire in the event of an electrical fault. It is also advisable to keep the gas bottle away from flame-prone objects, such as curtains and clothing.

When it's time to replace a gas bottle from the patio make sure you take off the regulator and clean the valves prior to reattaching them. It's also essential to dispose of the gas bottles in a safe manner, since they shouldn't be thrown in the garbage due to safety and environmental risks. Bring your gas bottles in their empty state to a recycling centre that accepts them, or contact the manufacturer to inquire about return and commercial collection options.
