Calor Patio Gas: the best cylinder size for your barbecue explained.

We are looking forward to a “Barbecue Summer”. Nowadays, most barbecues are powered by Calor Patio Gas. This is because it has a safe clip on regulator connection which means you do not need a spanner. The gas is propane which gives a better cooking performance than butane..

This year Calor Gas has introduced greater numbers of Patio Gas 5kg cylinders into the system to improve availability for barbecue owners. Most barbecues in the UK have less than 3 burners and the 5kg cylinder is ideal for these customers.

Essentially, for barbecues with 3 burners or less the 5kg Patio Gas cylinder is the best option.

The 5kg Patio Gas cylinder is easier to handle, transport and store at home after use. It has the built in Gas Trac Contents Indicator so you can avoid running out of gas during your barbecue. It is estimated that this size of cylinder will last for around 14 barbecues (around 2 years use).

However, barbecues with 4 burners or more, large patio heaters and the Flame Tower do require a 13kg Patio Gas cylinder.

You can exchange a 13kg for a 5kg or even in a 5kg for a 13kg Patio Gas cylinder at no cost. However, the Calor exchange policy states that Patio Gas cylinders are in a group of their own and cannot be exchanged for other sizes. If you have a Calor Butane cylinder or a different size Calor Propane cylinder you will need to surrender it for a refund and then take out a hire agreement for a Calor Patio Gas.

Towler & Staines the Calor Gas Principal Dealer in Bradford and Keighley has good stocks of Calor Patio Gas and the staff will be happy to give advice on the best cylinder for your needs.

Does Calor Gas deteriorate over time? We answer another frequently asked question!

A frequently asked question at the Calor Gas Principal Dealer Towler & Staines in Keighley and Bradford is "does Calor Gas go off", losing its effectiveness as time passes.

The answer is that Calor Gas which is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) presented as butane in blue bottles, propane in red bottles and Patio Gas in green bottles with a red top does not deteriorate with age.

It is important that cylinders are stored in an upright position for safety reasons. Also, butane (blue) cylinders can be stored indoors provided you have no more than 4 x 15kg cylinders. Propane and Patio Gas must be stored outdoors.

Safety first for LPG users this coming summer

Now is the time for caravanners, motorhome owners and gas barbecue enthusiasts to examine their equipment before the season starts. For safety it is important to examine the gas hose to your appliance(s).

 LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas ) hose should be changed every 5 years to ensure safety in use. Nowadays, it is best to use orange hose as it has a manufacture date on it. In reality it will need to be changed in less than 5 years because there is a period when it is held in stock by the retailer. If your appliance still has black hose, it is highly likely that it needs changing.

LPG hose is made from neoprene, not rubber. This is because LPG attacks rubber and such tubing would rapidly become unsafe when used with Calor Gas.

It is also recommended that your Calor Gas regulator is changed every ten years to ensure safety.
Incidentally you should never use a petroleum based grease such as Vaseline or lubricating grease with an LPG (Calor Gas) regulator as the gas reacts unfavourably with other petroleum based materials.

If in doubt contact the staff at Towler & Staines Calor Gas Dealers in Bradford and Keighley who will be happy to help.
