What is an Patio Gas Bottle?
A patio gas bottle is a type of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylindrical that is designed for use with outdoor appliances, such as barbecues and heaters for the patio. It is available in green bottles weighing up to 13kg, and can fit into a regular regulator clip-on.
Patio gas differs from propane in that it's a distinct brand of LPG that has been developed specifically for outdoor use. It can be propane or butane. Both are equally efficient and can be used to power outdoor appliances such as barbecues and patio heaters. However propane is better suited for colder temperatures.
All of our propane for patio bottles come with an Gas Trac indicator, so you can see when the gas is running low. They're also compatible for a wide variety of barbecues as well as outdoor heating appliances. If you're using a BBQ that has only two or three burners, our 5kg gas bottle for your patio is ideal and will last an extended period of time before you have to refill it.
If you own a huge barbecue that has four or more burners, or are planning to purchase one in the near future we suggest our patio gas bottle of 13kg. This bottle is not only suitable for BBQs, but will also provide you with enough gas to run your heater for your patio during the long summer evenings.
Propane and butane have slightly different boiling points. While butane is a bit warmer than propane, propane is able to boil at around 42°C. This means that propane is better for outdoor use, whereas butane can be used indoors for appliances such as portable heaters or single-burner cooking appliances.
natural gas gas patio heater in all our gas bottles is connected to a regulator that controls the pressure at which gas is released when connected to an appliance. This is crucial because the temperature of the appliance can affect the rate of release of gas, which can lead to damage or a fire. The regulator is connected to the cylinder by a screw-in or clip-on regulator according to the type of bottle and cylinder that you purchased.
What is a Patio Gas Cylinder?
It can be difficult to understand the meaning of "porch gas" as it could mean either butane or propane. Patio gas is a distinct type of LPG that is used for outdoor appliances like barbeques and heaters for patios. The cylinders are of a certain size and type and are only used with these appliances. They may not fit standard BBQ bottles or other appliances without a conversion kit purchased.
Most leisure appliances come with a regulator that reduces the pressure as the gas flows from the bottle to the appliance. The regulators are connected to the cylinder head with either a clip on or screw, depending on the bottle size and the type (see below for more information). Propane and Butane are two kinds of LPG. However, they have different boiling point, so you cannot interchange them unless you also alter the gas regulator on your appliance.
All Calor propane and butane gas bottles come with an inbuilt Gas Trac indicator that lets you know when it's time to change your cylinder. The date you test your cylinder is located on one of the side collars. It is stamped with two numbers and an alphabet. The letter indicates the quarter in which the test is due (A for the first then B for second and the list goes on) and the numbers refer to the year.
A Patio gas cylinder is a gas bottle with lids that are green and is designed to work with a 27mm clip on regulator. It is suitable for barbecues using butane indoor portable heaters, as well as other compatible appliances using propane or butane.

Butane and propane are typically sold in bottles that look similar. Butane comes in blue cylinders and is ideal for camping, single-burner cooking equipment and indoor heating. Propane however is available in cylinders of green, and is used to power outdoor appliances, such as barbecues and patio heat.
Both kinds of gas are available in a range of sizes, ranging from 3.9kg to 47kg. This range includes both 'clip on' and'screw in' propane cylinders. The 'clip on' cylinders are connected to the barbecue by pushing them on to the propane regulator. Screw-in propane bottles require you to screw into place.
The cost of propane gas is contingent on the size of your bottle as well as the amount you must pay for a one-time cylinder rental fee. To avoid this extra cost it is best to purchase your propane gas bottle from a company that offers both 'clip-on' and'screw on' propane cylinders so you can choose the type of cylinder that best suits your grill or patio heater. A lot of retailers offer both types of propane cylinders, so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.

13kg Patio Gas Bottle
The 13kg patio gas bottle is ideal for BBQ use, as it provides the energy required to power small and medium barbecues (3 burners or less), pizza ovens and chimeneas. It is also the best option for camping, as well as for fuelling cooking and heating devices in static and touring caravans. It can be used in narrow boats and catering vehicles.
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 gas that can be used by the appliance. It's important that the correct type of gas regulator is attached to the appliance in order that the right pressure can be achieved. To prevent gas leaks, the regulator must be disconnected from the appliance, and the gas bottle must be stored in a safe manner.
Propane has a lower boiling point than butane, which makes it ideal for outdoor use in cold temperatures. Patio gas bottles are usually green, whilst red propane cylinders have regulators that screw in and are available in a variety of sizes from 3.9kg through to 47kg.
A 13kg gas bottle contains about 26 litres of liquid propane that can provide hours of grilling time based on the size and performance of the BBQ. Utilizing a reliable BBQ design, checking gas levels regularly, and adopting the best practices can significantly prolong the life of the gas bottle.
Store your gas bottle outdoors in a cool, dry place. It's not advisable to store it inside, as this increases the risk of explosion or fire in the event of an electrical problem. Keep the gas bottle away from things that ignite, such as curtains and clothing.
When you're ready to replace the gas bottle on your patio, remove the regulator first, then clean the valves. Then, reattach the valves. Empty gas bottles should not be thrown into the regular garbage because of safety and environmental risks. You can take your gas bottles to a recycling center that accepts them, or call the manufacturer about return and commercial collection.
