What is an Patio Gas Bottle?

The patio gas bottles are type LPG (liquefied Petroleum Gas) containers that are specially designed for outdoor use such as barbecues and patio heaters. It is available in green bottles weighing up to 13kg, and will be compatible with a standard regulator clip-on.

Patio gas is distinct from propane as it’s a brand of LPG that has been reformulated specifically for outdoor use. It can be either propane or butane. Both are equally effective and can be used to power outdoor appliances such as barbecues and patio heaters, however propane is better for colder temperatures, where butane might struggle.

All of our propane patio bottles come with a Gas Trac indicator, so you’ll know when the gas is low. They’re also compatible with a range of barbecues and outdoor heating appliances. If you’re using a BBQ with only one or two burners then our 5kg gas bottle for your patio is perfect and will last for quite a long time before you need to refill it.

If you own a big BBQ with four or more burners, or are planning to purchase one in the near future, we recommend our patio gas bottle of 13kg. It is not only suitable for BBQ’s but it also gives you plenty of gas to your patio heater too particularly during the long summer evenings.

Propane and butane have slightly different boiling points. While butane is a bit warmer than propane, propane boils at around 42 degrees Celsius. This means that propane is more suitable for outdoor use while butane can be used indoors for appliances like portable heaters and single-burner cooking appliances.

The cylinder valve of all our gas bottles is connected to a regulator that controls the pressure at which liquefied gases release when connected to an appliance. This is important as the temperature of the appliance could affect the rate of gas release which could cause fire or damage. The regulator is connected to the cylinder using a screw-in or clip-on regulator depending on the kind of bottle and cylinder that you purchased.

What is a Patio Gas Cylinder?

The term “porch gascylinder’ can be confusing as it may mean two different things: propane or butane. Patio gas is a specific type of LPG that is sold for outdoor use, such as barbecues and heaters for patios. This is why the cylinders are of a particular size and type, and should only be used with these kinds of appliances. They come with a specific valve and connector that may not be compatible with regular BBQ gas bottles or other appliances that do not have a conversion kit.

Most leisure appliances come with a regulator that decreases the pressure when the gas is moved from the bottle to the appliance. The regulators connect to the cylinder head with either a clip or screw, depending on the bottle size and the type (see below for more information). Propane and Butane are two kinds of LPG. However, they have different boiling points, so you can’t switch them unless you also alter the gas regulator inside your appliance.

All Calor propane and butane gas bottles come with a built-in Gas Trac indicator that lets you know when it’s time to replace your cylinder. You can also check the date of your cylinder’s testing by taking a look at the side collar, which is stamped with a letter and two numbers. The letter signifies the quarter in which the test is due (A for first then B for second and the list goes on) and the number is a reference to the year.

Patio gas cylinders feature a green lid and are designed to be used in conjunction with a clip-on regulator measuring 27mm. It is suitable for barbecues using butane as well as indoor portable heaters, and other compatible appliances using propane or butane.

Butane and propane are often sold in bottles that appear similar. Butane is sold in blue cylinders, and is perfect for camping, single-burner cooking appliances and indoor heating. Propane however, is sold in green cylinders, and is used to power outdoor appliances like barbeques and heating for patios.

Both types of gas are available in a broad range of sizes, ranging from 3.9kg right up to 47kg. This range includes both “clip on” and “screw in” propane cylinders. The cylinders with a ‘clip on’ are attached to the barbecue by pushing them into the propane regulator. Screw in propane bottles require screws to be screwed into place.

The cost of propane depends on the size of the bottle and the amount you must pay for a one-time cylinder rental fee. To avoid the additional cost, it’s best to purchase your propane gas bottle from a retailer that offers both ‘clip-on and screw on’ propane cylinders, so you can pick which type of cylinder suits your barbeque or patio heater. Many stores offer both kinds of cylinders, so you can pick and pick the one that best suits your needs. Comparing propane gas prices on the internet is a great method to ensure you are getting the best price.

The gas bottles for patios are huge propane gas cylinders. When attached to a BBQ the regulator on the bottle converts propane liquid into gas that can be used by the appliance. The appropriate type of regulator should be fitted to the BBQ to achieve the desired pressure. The regulator must be removed and the gas bottle securely stored when not in use to provide to protect against gas leaks.

Propane has lower boiling points than butane, which makes it ideal for outdoor use in cold temperatures. Patio gas bottles are available in green, while red propane cylinders are available with screw-in regulators. They vary in sizes ranging from 3.9kg to 47kg.

A 13kg gas canister holds about 26 litres of propane liquid. This can give you hours of grilling time, based on the size of the BBQ and its effectiveness. Gas bottles can be extended by using an efficient BBQ as well as checking the gas levels regularly and adopting the most efficient practices.

It’s always a good idea to store your gas patio heater bottle outdoors in a cool, dry and dry. It’s not recommended to store it inside because it increases the chance of a fire or explosion particularly if there’s an electrical fault. Keep the gas bottle away from things that ignite, such as curtains and clothing.

When it’s time to replace a bottle of patio gas make sure you take off the regulator and clean the valves prior to reconnecting them. Gas bottles that are empty shouldn’t be thrown in the regular garbage because of safety and environmental risks. You can take your gas bottles either to a recycling center that accepts them or contact the manufacturer to inquire about commercial and return collections.
