I think it would be safer to put the bottle in the car, a full 4.5 kg bottle weights about 10kg, not too heavy to lift, but imagine it sliding around in a roof box.
you must also take into consideration the max load on the roof bars. Most vehicles its around 50-60kg, add the weight of the roof box around 7 kg. soon adds up.

Thanks for putting the exploding firball/ car inferno picture in my head! Thats not made me anxious at all! <img align="absmiddle" src="forum_images/smiley5.gif">

 

as a side question, anyone who used the smaller 4.5kg butane - am i right in thinking they have the screw on regulators not the clip on ones? Anyone any issue with these or are the easy enough to screw on and off? Just thinking if im going to be cooking outside, im not sure I want to be screwing the bottle on and off every time I want to move the camp kitchen out from the side awning! I have a gas BBQ at home which uses patio gas, it is a big bottle (thats why not talking it camping) but the regulator pushes and clips on and off - really easy to use, I can see the screw on type being a pain in the rear! <img align="absmiddle" src="forum_images/smiley6.gif" width="17" alt="17">
