Product Information

They are also designed to be compatible with regulators (more on these later), which make it easy to connect the gas bottle to your BBQ. Some brands of patio gas will also include an indicator on the side of the bottle, which will tell you how much gas is remaining in the bottle. Low toxicity – butane is a very clean burning gas, so if you’re keen to use a fuel source that has a small impact on the environment, then butane makes the perfect choice.

As well as deciding what type of gas you should use with your BBQ, you will also need to think about what type of gas bottle you want to use.Efficiency in warm weather – if you’re going to be BBQing in warm weather (that’s the best time for a BBQ right?!) then butane gas is a very efficient fuel source. On the flip side, if you decide to do some outdoor cooking during winter then butane won’t flow well in low temperatures.

These are the larger gas bottles that you may have seen on industrial estates. These larger gas bottles are used to contain propane rather than butane and are available in a wide variety of sizes from 3.9kg right through to enormous 47kg cylinders.

What will you be using the gas bottle for?

Propane gas is mainly used as a commercial heating and large appliance fuel (such as heating and cooking in catering vans or on BBQs). Propane has a boiling temperature of -42ºc, so is suitable for use all-year-round. Propane is ideal if you’re intending to use your BBQ or appliance in very cold temperatures.
