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.
