I'm pleased to hear so many people giving a thumbs up to the campingaz cylinders. I was recently given one but everyone seemed to be saying the calor cylinders are better so I thought I'd done the wrong thing.

Yes, you may pay less per refill for the calor cylinders (and get more gas) but I feel that weight & size wise the campingaz wins. So much easier to transport in the car with all the other kit.

I lug 2 907's around. One for the stove and 1 for the BBQ. Also will never have the situation when the 2 will run out at the same time, (on a sunday evening when the camp shop is closed and you can't get a replacement when trying to cook dinner).

As it has been said before, don't buy your first bottle from a dealer. ask at you local recycling centre, they usualy have a few. even if the top is missing you can buy a new one for a couple of quid. but you will need to have a top for getting the bottle exchanged or refiled.

I have on a few ocations been known to spot and buy bottles at boot sales etc, and resell them for a couple more quid for beer money.

As for transporting them, we use a trailer now and I put them in there at the end closest to the car (less likly to take a impact in a crash). When we just had the car, as low as possible in the bootie on the floor of the boot, well wedged in.
