Hi,

Camping virgin looking to start next week with family. I recently bought a campgaz chef grill. Started looking for places to buy the bottles and Gas!!

Can anyone suggest the best stores or locations to purchase them.

I like the idea of the local council tip, will definately try that.

Cheers

Welcome to UKCS rickshaw14

Starting off you need to go for whatever you can beg, borrow, or steal.

If you do have to buy a new cylinder then, as suns suggests, go for a Calor one and change the regulator - it's much much cheaper than campingaz.

Tips are good, our local one won't accept cylinders but I've picked up a couple from folk that have brought them along to dump but aren't allow to.

Remember that you can exchange any type of Calor cylinder for the size and type that suits you best and just pay the refill cost so don't hesitate to grab a larger one than you need and swap it for a smaller one at any retailer.

We started off with 907 cylinders that we acquired from family members but now use 4.5 kg Calor blue cylinders that we exchanged for 15 kg empties picked up at the tip.

Peridot - Thanks for the advice as I've just bought the same double burner and grill with a Camping Gaz cylinder. Where do you get the regulator from for the calor gas?

Hi redmx99 - any decent camping equipment retailer should have the regulators available. Expect to pay around a fiver.

Remember that the 4.5 kg Calor cylinder has a reverse thread connector - you turn the nut anti-clockwise to tighten it. This often causes considerable confusion to new users

Sorry to jump in to someone else's post - but I'm in a similar position and I'm wondering, since we'll be travelling to France with the same cooker - would we be better off going for camping gaz from the start?

Thanks

Calor isn't availible in France but you can get CampingGaz refills in most big French supermarkets as well as at campsites. I camp in France a lot and can't be bothered with either lugging enough Calor for a six week trip or even having two sets of cylinders and regs at home, so I use 100% CampingGaz. Which is cheaper in France than here, as it happens, so not that pricey an option.

Thank you to everyone. Good advice. I went to local Harle and Peel, two nice lads behind the counter informed me that campgaz is very expensive here.

They sold me the calor gas twice as big £10 cheaper. Although I did have to pay £10 for the regulator

Crikey

They're £2.70 where I get my plumbing and gas supplies from (www.bes.co.uk)

For anyone who needs to use campingaz when abroad you can get an adaptor that allows you to attach the Calor regulator to a campingaz cylinder. Search for part number 8888 on the site link above
