Hi at the risk of appearing a complete dolt am going away for the first time with my combicool and am hoping to run it on gas....Question....does it matter what size of gas bottle you use? Will it run on the propane gas (orange bottles) Or do I have to get calor gas? I know i sound stupid but dont want to arrive on site in this heat and find I cant work the fridge. Thanks in advance for any help.
I use a campingaz 907 cylinder (2.7 kg). Powering only the fridge it lasts around nine days.
Because the gas consumption is low, it takes a long time to 'prime' the hose between the regularor and the fridge, expecially if it's a long connection. Keep the control knob depressed for a good while before pressing the spark igniter.

We use 4.5kg bottles a little larger than the campingaz 907, but a lot cheaper ...... each bottle size has it's own regulator,
Certainly test it at home first - we did ours - and as said before, it can be a bu**a to light lol
We use that size too, it lasts a fair while but I can't light it !!! OH does have his uses sometimes !!
