What is a Patio Gas Bottle?

A patio gas bottle is a kind of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinder that is specifically designed for use with outdoor appliances, such as barbecues and heaters for the patio. It is available in green bottles that weigh up to 13kg, and will fit into a regular regulator clip-on.

Patio gas is distinct from propane in that it's a specific brand of LPG that has been refined specifically for outdoor use. It can be either propane or butane. Both work equally well and can be used to power outdoor appliances like barbecues and patio heaters, however propane is better for colder temperatures, where butane may struggle.

All of our gas bottles come with built-in Gas Trac indicator so that you are able to easily determine that the gas is low. They are also compatible with a broad range of BBQ's and outdoor heating equipment. If you own a barbecue that only has one or two burners, then our patio gas bottle that weighs 5kg is the perfect. It will last for a long time before it needs to be filled.

For those that have or are planning to purchase a larger barbecue that has four or more burners, then we recommend our 13kg propane gas bottle for patio use. This is not just ideal for barbecues, but it also gives you plenty of gas powered patio heater for your patio heater too, especially during the longer summer evenings.

Propane and butane have slightly different boiling points. While butane is a little warmer than propane, propane is able to boil at about -42degC. This means that propane is better for outdoor use, whereas butane is suitable for indoor use for appliances such as portable heaters and single-burner cooking appliances.

The cylinder valve of all our gas bottles is connected to a regulator which regulates the pressure at which the liquefied gases release when connected to an appliance. This is important because the temperature of the appliance can alter the rate of release of gas which could lead to damage or even a fire. The regulator is connected to the cylinder using clips-on or screw-in regulators depending on the kind of bottle and cylinder that you purchased.

What is a Patio Gas Cylinder?

The term "porch gascylinder is a bit confusing since it could refer to two different things: propane or butane. Patio gas is a particular type of LPG that is marketed for outdoor appliances such as barbeques and heating sources for patios. The gas cylinders have a specific size and shape and should only be used for these appliances. They may not be compatible with standard BBQ bottles or other appliances unless a conversion kit is purchased.

The majority of leisure equipment is fitted with a regulator which reduces the pressure of gas as it moves 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 type (see below for more details). Propane and Butane are two different types of LPG. However, they have different boiling points, which means they cannot be interchanged unless you change the gas regulator in your appliance.

All Calor propane and butane gas bottles have an integrated Gas Trac indicator that lets you know when it's time to change your cylinder. You can also see the date of your cylinder's testing by looking at one of the side collars, which is marked with a letter and two numbers. The letter indicates the quarter that the test is due. (A for the first one, B for the second and the list goes on.) And the number indicates the year.

Patio gas cylinders have a green lid and are designed to be used in conjunction with a clip-on controller measuring 27mm. It can also be used with butane BBQs and indoor portable heaters, and other appliances that work with propane or butane.

It is essential to understand the distinction between butane and propane as you'll frequently see them sold in similar looking bottles. Butane is stored in blue cylinders and is best used for camping, single burner cooking appliances and indoor portable heating, while propane is stored in cylinders that are green and is used to power outdoor living appliances such as barbeques and patio heaters.

Both types of gas come in a variety of sizes, from 3.9kg to 47kg. This range includes both "clip on" and "screw in" propane cylinders. The cylinders that are 'clip on' can be connected to your barbecue by pushing them on the propane regulator, while'screw into' propane bottles require you to screw them in the appropriate place.

The cost of propane is contingent on the size of the bottle and the amount you must pay for a one-time cylinder rental fee. To avoid this extra cost it's best to purchase your propane gas bottle from a company who offers both 'clip on and screw on' propane cylinders so you can pick the type of cylinder that best suits your barbeque or patio heater. Many retailers offer both types of cylinders so you can pick and pick the one that best suits your needs. Comparing propane gas prices on the internet is an excellent way to make sure you are getting the best price.

Gas bottles for the patio are essentially large propane gas cylinders. When they are connected to a BBQ the regulator on the bottle converts propane liquid into usable gas for the appliance. It is essential that the right type of gas regulator is connected to the appliance so the proper pressure is achieved. The regulator should be removed and the gas bottle should be stored when not in use as an extra precaution against gas leaks.

Propane has lower boiling temperatures than butane, making it well suited to outdoor use in cold temperatures. gas powered patio heater bottles for patio use are typically green, whereas red propane cylinders come with screw-in regulators and come in a range of sizes from 3.9kg through to 47kg.

A 13kg gas bottle contains approximately 26 litres liquid propane. This can provide hours of grilling, depending on the size of the BBQ and its efficiency. Making use of a well-designed BBQ design, ensuring gas levels regularly, and implementing best practices can greatly prolong the life of gas bottles.

Store your gas bottle outdoors in a cool and dry area. It's not recommended to store it inside, as this increases the risk of explosion or fire, especially if there is an electrical issue. It is also advisable to keep the gas bottle away from flammable objects, like curtains and clothing.

When it's time to replace the gas bottle for your patio, make sure that you remove the regulator and clean the valves prior attaching them.

Bring your gas bottles that are empty to a recycling facility that accepts them or contact the manufacturer to inquire about return and commercial collection options.
