Bottled gas is often referred to as "Blue Gas", "Calor Gas", "Camping Gas", and many more names. Most of these names are actually referring to some of the UK well known brand names of LPG; Blue Gas and Camping Gaz actually referring to the European gas supplier that is Camping Gaz, Calor Gas is the most well known supplier in the UK of bottled gas with butane and propane LPG sold under this name. It is worth noting though that there are countless other suppliers that produce and sell bottled gas in Sheffield. A few to mention are energas, flogas, altagas, and more well known for their industrial gases; BOC. 

Butane Bottled Gas Refills

Butane gas is commonly purchased in refill cylinders for use as a fuel for cooking and leisure purposes. Butane bottled gas is usually supplied in either a blue or mustard yellow coloured metal cylinder. It is used in camping, boating, and caravanning applications where its is generally used as a fuel for use with camping and cooking stoves, tilley type camping lights, barbeques, and portable fridges. 

If you are the owner of a Camping Gaz "Double Burner Grill" or a "Grillogaz" then you will need a bottle of butane gas to use one of these leisure appliances. 

One of the most popular LPG appliances that needs butane bottled gas is the common Calor Gas type mobile cabinet heater. In the UK all portable cabinet heaters run off a "standard" cylinder of butane gas. 

Immaterial whether this is a Calor, Camping Gaz, or flogas brand of cylinder of lpg, it will work when fitted to a mobile cabinet heater. * The only determining factor is that the correct size of gas regulator valve must be fitted to the cabinet heater. In the UK this will be of either 20mm or 21mm connection size.

Propane Bottled Gas Refills

Propane liquefied petroleum gas has different properties to butane. The most prominent being it's capability to burn at far lower temperatures than butane. This makes it more suitable for applications where a lower temperature operating point is needed. This could be for cooking purposes where the refill cylinders are stored outside at your Sheffield home, for use with powered equipment that is operated outdoors (such as lpg powered fork lift trucks), and for commercial and industrial uses such as when used for heating tar with road white lining and the re-roofing of felt covered roofs.

Propane bottled gas is also commonly used by operators of mobile catering trailers and vans. The catering units that pop up especially on Friday and Saturday nights in  Sheffield's City Centre are no exception. If you own or operate a "burger or chip van" then it;s most likely you will have a need for refill bottles of propane bottled gas.

Leisure Gas Refills

The name of "leisure gas" is what used to be referred to as "patio gas". In recent years "leisure gas" has become the name referred to for a certain mix of lpg that is used for a burnable fuel in patio heaters, several types of portable bbq's, and some outdoor camping / trekking stoves.

Leisure gas is freely available from several Sheffield bottled gas stockists, notably under either the Calor or flogas brand name.

What is leisure gas?

Depending on the brand, leisure gas is usually a "cocktail" mix of butane and propane gas sold in a particular size of refill cylinder. Unlike butane and propane bottled gas, Leisure / Patio gas usually requires the appliance to be fitted with a 27mm diameter size of gas regulator valve.

Industrial Heating Applications

A popular use of bottled gas is for use as a fuel for various types of heating applications. This could be for use as a fuel for providing heat in a garage paint shop spray oven or for use with a portable space heater.

The latter being especially popular during the cold Winter months that Sheffield experiences typically each year in the UK. Take a look inside any garage, industrial unit, or workshop in Sheffield during November, December, and January, and we are sure you will see what we mean. Most need an additional form of heating and look to a portable propane fired space heater to keep machinery and personnel warm.
