Product Information

It can be difficult to know how much gas you need for your BBQ. You certainly don’t want to be running out half way through cooking for friends and family…

BBQs are generally not supplied with a gas regulator. This is because there are a huge range of different gas bottles on the market, so it would be impossible for BBQ manufacturers to include every type of regulator with their appliances. Why do I need a gas regulator for my BBQ? This is specifically designed to power outdoor appliances such as BBQ’s and patio heaters and the benefit is that it is compatible with the 27mm clip on regulator. It also features a Gas Trac Indicator, which is useful for determining when your gas is running low. We sell Patio gas in 5kg and 13kg bottles. Easy to use – using butane gas is really easy. To get started, all you need to do is attach the gas bottle to your BBQ, allow the gas to run through to the appliance and then hit the ignition switch. Easy!Gas is available in small ‘patio bottles’. These are specifically designed for use with outdoor appliances such as BBQs. Patio gas bottles are generally filled with propane gas. There are two types of this gas, butane and propane. Butane is stored in blue cylinders and is ideal for camping, single burner cooking appliances and indoor portable heaters. Propane on the other hand is stored in red cylinders and predominantly a commercial heating and large appliance fuel, also ideal for heating and cooking in catering vans. Patio Gas stored in green cylinders is propane which is ideal for outdoor living appliances such as barbeques and patio heaters. Propane gas also has a number of distinct benefits when using it with your BBQ. These benefits include:

Gas regulators are there to keep you safe. A regulator controls the flow of gas from the bottle, through the hose, to your BBQ. Without a regulator, you would run the risk of letting too much gas reach your BBQ at once, with dangerous consequences.

Cylinder Charges and Returns

Another of the largest brands, Flogas, has a similar finder tool, which you can access here . What are the best gas BBQs? When it comes to carbon emissions, both propane and butane are clean burning fuels that are better for the environment than alternatives such as oil. If you are using propane in BioLPG form (where it is still chemically identical to LPG and compatible with all LPG products) you can reduce your carbon emissions by up to 38% when compared to oil**. Patio gas bottles are typically smaller than other types of gas bottles. It’s possible to buy 5kg patio gas bottles that can sit underneath your BBQ or within your BBQ’s storage area. If you’re looking for a bit more gas, then it is possible to buy patio gas bottles up to 13kg in size. This depends largely on how many burners your gas barbeque has. If it has between one and three, a 5kg patio gas bottle is ideal. If you’ve got a larger barbeque with four burners or more, then it’s recommended that you select a 13kg bottle. We have a handy tool: ‘ Which gas bottle do I need’, that could tell you specifically which bottle would be most suitable for your barbeque. There is one caveat to this however. You won’t need to use a regulator if you have a High-Pressure BBQ. This is because this type of BBQ is designed to connect directly to the gas bottle via a threaded connection. High-Pressure BBQs are designed to receive a much higher flow of gas and as a result, don’t require a gas regulator. Common types of gas bottles and their regulators
