How to have a barbecue with a difference!

Towler & Staines are stocking the fabulous Bakerstone Box – an innovative stone baking chamber encased in an enamelled steel housing. Call at their showrooms in either Bradford or Keighley to view the product and a short video on how it works. Why not surprise your guests next time you have a barbecue evening. Instead of the usual burgers and sausages offer them pizza!

The design of the Bakerstone Box converts most 3 burner and larger gas BBQs into a gourmet pizza oven. It bakes superb pizzas, breads and cookies, roasts meats and vegetables, cooks fish and much more, it is perhaps the best BBQ accessory you will ever buy.

 The large Bakerstone Box will accommodate a 14” pizza and the medium model will take up to a 12” pizza.

How does Calor Gas work? Towler & Staines have the answer.

Calor Gas and Calor Propane are liquified petroleum gas (LPG) which is obtained directly from the North Sea or during petrol refining from crude oil.

LPG can be stored as a liquid taking up about two hundred times less space than it would as a gas.
It is stored and delivered in cylinders for a huge variety of uses in almost any location.

Butane and propane in use are effectively the same but as a liquid Calor propane has a lower boiling point which means it becomes a gas at a lower temperature and needs to be stored under higher pressure.

In the cylinder the gas is in liquid form exerting an approximate pressure of 1.72 bar at 15 degrees C
and 6.90 bar at 15 degrees C for propane. This means the correct regulator must be used : it is not possible to change from one fuel source to the other without also changing the regulator.

Calor Propane should never be stored or used indoors at a residence because it is stored under higher pressure.

The chart shows how gas pressure varies with the external temperature. The diagram shows the change from liquid to gas when the pressure is reduced to normal ie the gas valve is open.

Make the most of the light evenings.

The lighter evenings are here at last and it is pleasant to sit out in the fresh air but often it can become too chilly to continue sitting. To take advantage of these conditions you need a Calor Gas powered Patio Heater. This will enable you to sit outside longer with your favourite drink, perhaps with friends and perhaps augmented by a barbecue!

At Towler & Staines we have a range of Calor Gas powered Patio Heaters to do the job for you. We have the Tahiti Flame Tower at £349.99, the Sahara Nilon at £119.99, the Sahara Stainless Steel Tabletop at £115 from Universal Innovations, the Orchid at £149.99, and the Santorini at £339.99 from Lifestyle.

The Santorini and the Tahiti Flame Tower both have the added plus of lighting to set the mood when the nights begin to draw in.

Can I run two Calor Gas appliances off one cylinder?

Another of the frequently asked questions at Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealers is "can I run two Calor Gas appliances off one cylinder?"

The answer is yes you can. On a Calor Propane cylinder you need a Twin Outlet for propane. This is a brass connector which has a POL end to screw with a left hand thread into the cylinder valve and then it has a "Y" shape with two female connection points for the POL connectors on your propane regulators for your appliances. Of course each appliance needs it's own regulator.

A wallblock manifold will also do the job if you need a fixed installation, setting up in much the same way.
