What is Patio Gas and why use it?

At Towler & Staines, the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Bradford and Keighley we are frequently asked the question " why Calor Patio Gas?" We answered this last year at about this time but many people are still asking, so here is the answer again!

In recent years gas barbecues are increasingly designed for propane gas, possibly because butane gas is not available for consumers in a number of countries including the USA and Canada. The original Calor Propane cylinders have a female threaded valve which requires a spanner to make a gas tight connection.

With the arrival of the Patio Heater and the increasing popularity of gas barbecues it was decided that a clip on regulator with a gas contents indicator was much more user friendly and, most importantly, safer. Hence the launch of Calor Patio Gas a few years ago which is propane gas with a clip on connection and a contents indicator. It is in a green and red cylinder and comes in two sizes: the 13kg which is ideal for Patio Heaters and larger barbecues (four burners and more); the 5kg which is suited to smaller barbecues and the Calor Grill 2 Go is specially designed to fit on it.

The clip on regulator is designed to pass a greater quantity of gas than the small propane regulator and is therefore suitable for even the largest barbecue or patio heater. If you have any other queries on this subject please contact a member of staff at Towler & Staines, the LPG Specialists and we will be delighted to help.

The quantity of gas is limited to 47kg or approximately 93 litres maximum in the case of several containers. Each container must be no more than 80% full.
