Some other ways to keep warm this winter.

My last blog dealt with propane powered blown air heating for larger areas, but there is another alternative for commercial premises, garages and warehouses. Radiant heat from portable fires can often be the answer.

The Bullfinch Trolley Heater offers localised heat where you need it. If an operative is working in a large area with a number of locations to carry out his job, the Trolley Heater can be wheeled around with him from place to place. It has large wheels for ease of movement and adjustable height for radiant panels between 1460 and 1750mm. There are 2 plaques: 1 gives 2.8kW and both give 5.6kW.

There are 2 portable site heaters available: the Lifestyle Portable Site Heater is a radiant heater giving 4.4kW supplied with 2 metres of hose and regulator, piezo ignition, a flame failure device and an oxygen depletion device to allow indoor use. The other is the Bullfinch 1200HL Superglow which has a low centre of gravity for extra stability, flame failure device and oxygen depletion system to enable indoor use, with adjustable heat outputs from 2.2 to 3.7kW.

All these items are available from Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Keighley and Bradford.

Avoid the cold wherever you are!


The forecast is for colder weather next week and previous blogs have advised on mobile cabinet heaters for the home and gas delivery. However, heating is often needed for larger spaces such as garages, workshops, larger shops and work stations in larger factories and Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Bradford and Keighley can offer solutions. They stock a range of propane powered blown air heaters. If you estimate the cube of the area you wish to heat our staff can recommend the right appliance for you. 

For large areas the Bullfinch 1400 Space Heater has an output varying from 17kW to 25kW, and it requires no electricity to power it, simply propane gas. There are also blown air heaters which need electricity to power the fan but the heat comes from propane gas. Towler & Staines offer 4 models, 2 from Master and 2 from Munters two give 10kW output which consumes 0.8kg of propane per hour. The Munters Kid 15 generates 17.5kW consuming 1.4kg of propane per hour and the Master BLP17 adjusts between 11 and 15kw output.

All these heaters are on offer currently at Towler & Staines so act today that cold snap is not far away!

Prepare your caravan or motorhome for winter.

It is now officially autumn and it is time for us to prepare our caravans and motorhomes for the winter months. First and foremost it is most important to properly drain your water heater to avoid frost damage. We know from experience that even a tiny drop of water when frozen can seriously damage a water heater. One tip is to use a hair drier to dry up any remaining droplets.

Another tip when leaving the caravan or motorhome for the winter is to install some sort of dehumidifier to combat damp, condensation and mold. Towler and Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Bradford and Keighley have a number of moisture trap options in stock. They offer: Kontrol branded items including the Mega Moisture Trap, Streamline, Ocean Spray Mini and Lavender Mini Moisture Traps.

Also available in the Kontrol range are: Rechargeable Moisture Muncher, 1kg Krystals Refill Pack, 2.5kg Krystal Refill Pack, Refill TabZ and the Drip Strip.

Prices are very reasonable and it is worth doing to have your caravan or motorhome damp and mold free in spring.

The 6kg Calor Lite Cylinder changes announced.

Calor Gas Ltd. have announced that they will no longer be investing in new stock of the 6kg Lite Cylinder. Apparently the demand for the standard 6kg Calor Propane cylinder continues to grow and the company have decided to make an investment in this cylinder of over £1 million this year.

The existing 6kg Calor Lite demand will be serviced using current cylinder stocks, although without new cylinders availability will be limited. Standard 6kg cylinders may be supplied on a free exchange if stocks of the Lite are not available.

The recall of 6kg Calor Lite cylinders manufactured between 2008 and 2011 is now closed. However, vouchers issued to customers during this will still be honoured. If the Lite is unavailable the standard 6kg refill will be offered.

Calor are currently undertaking market research with the aim of launching a new leisure / caravan cylinder designed with a number of consumer benefits in mind. In particular the weight of the new cylinder will be foremost in their development plan.

If you have any queries on this you can contact Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Keighley and Bradford.

Experiece counts!

Listening to a programme on the radio about customer satisfaction and the lack of knowledge and skills among retail staff, I started thinking about my own company Towler & Staines the LPG Specialists and Principal Calor Gas Dealer in Keighley and Bradford.

We often receive congratulations on our service from our customers which we find most encouraging.The main thing is that our staff know a great deal about LPG (Calor Gas), LPG Appliances and Industrial Gases (Air Products) because of their years of experience. The average service for our staff is an amazing 20 years. Two members of staff have been at Towler & Staines for over 30 years and they have shared their knowledge and experience with all the other staff.

The Towler & Staines journey has involved rapid change in technology, product development and legislation.To ensure maximum benefit to our customers managers attend all relevant industry exhibitions and seminars often finding new and improved products to offer.

All our drivers have certification in manual handling, fork lift truck operation, ADR (licence for carriage of hazardous goods), CPC (driver training and hours limitation) as well as product safety courses from Calor Gas and Air Products.

We really do have the experience to help you in this complicated industry.

Nine facts about barbecuing in the UK.


  • At home eating and entertaining is now the UK's number one home leisure activity with two thirds of households owning a barbecue grill.
  • In 2015 the UK was once again Europe's leading barbecue nation, beating the German's into second place for the fifth time!
  • The average number of barbecues held per family during the summer has risen sharply from around 2.5 10 years ago to over 9 now,
  • Barbecue and alfresco eating has now become a standard alternative summer format with nearly half the population now considering it normal to barbecue or eat outdoors during summer.  However, paradoxically, and possibly as a result of recession, alfresco eating occasions are seen to be an indulgence or treat, with 37% likening barbecues to a dinner party in terms of entertainment value.  
  • After work or midweek barbecues now account of 48% of all barbecue occasions.
  • Despite the economic recovery, barbecue alfresco eating and entertaining  remains a fashionable and cheaper alternative to a visit to the local pub or restaurant.
  • Although grills remain the most popular, hooded barbecues are growing fast and now account for over 46% of all sales.  
  • Charcoal is no longer the most popular barbecue choice, but despite this is seeing some growth and now stands at 42% up from 37% two years ago.  However gas grills are the most popular at 47%.
