Calor gas discontinue smaller bottles..

[Yorkshire Andy]

Been rumbling round a few months but it's finally public

Calor uk in their wisdom have axed
The "gas cube" used in some small gas heaters

The 3.9 propane and the 4.5 butane the 6kg calor lite propane and the 12kg butane.....

My camper locker won't take the bigger bottles so it's off to Flo gas I go ....

Sounds like Calor have shot themselves in the foot, van dwellers and boaties (the two main users of the dumpy bottles) are screaming blue murder.

Also, this

The 6kg CalorLite®gas bottle is no longer available to purchase online. There is limited refill stock available through our network of retailers. To check specific availability in your area, contact your local Calor outlet using our helpful Find a retailer tool. You can also call Calor Gas direct 0800 662 663 if you have any specific questions about our cylinder range

Existing 6kg CalorLite customers can freely exchange their cylinder for the standard 6kg cylinder or a 3.9kg cylinder - which normally weighs slightly less than a 6kg lite when both are full. These cylinders are widely available and may be purchased online.

If you chose the Lite because you have problems with the weight of a full 6kg you can swap it for a dumpy..... Which they've decided to discontinue

I had to look up the Cube bottle, its a special small size to fit in a special small heater I don't think that will be much of a loss

I have 2 13kg they are both ok one if half full and other a touch over half but i do not want to exchange them yet as i say still useable , i guess i will use these until they run out then go to whatever they replace it with , the big bottles are to hard for me to move round so i guess it might be the flo gas option

For lightweight look at the Kevlar? Type bottles eg:

If you use lots of gas... The refillable bottles might work out cheaper long term

Filled at a car autogas pump or industrial gas supply place

Well I've bitten the bullet and ordered a 2.7kg refillable gas bottle (proper safe approved to refill jobbie) the camping Gaz bottle refills are pushing £40 for a dumpy 907 bottle refill

With auto gas running about 95p per litre and that is about 4.5l of gas £4.30 per fill Vs £40 probably do 2 to three bottles a year so it'll soon repay the investment of £200 figure on my fifth refill it'll have paid for itself ..

Having a gas station locally I'm going to use it for everything from the gas garden BBQ to camping
