A patio gas bottle is a type of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) container that is specially designed for use with outdoor appliances such as barbecues and heaters for patios. It is available in green bottles that weigh up to 13kg, and can fit the standard 27mm clip-on regulator.
Patio gas differs from propane because it's a type of LPG that has been modified specifically for outdoor use. It can be either propane or butane. Both are equally efficient and can be utilized to power outdoor appliances such as barbecues and patio heaters. However, propane is better suited for colder temperatures.

When you are choosing a propane or butane gas bottle, you should consider what kind of leisure device you're using it for as the two types have slightly different boiling points. Propane boils at -42degC, while butane reaches at 2degC. This means that propane is better for outdoor use, whereas butane is a good choice for appliances like portable heaters and single-burner cooking appliances.
The cylinder valve on each of our gas bottles is connected to a regulator that regulates the pressure the liquefied gas releases through when connected to an appliance. This is important because the temperature of the appliance could influence the rate of gas release, which can lead to fire or damage. The regulator is connected to the cylinder by clips-on or screw-in regulators according to the type of bottle and cylinder that you purchased.
