Anyone know where I can get one from?
Gave ours away with the van, chap seemed to cadge everything from me! lol, Didn't realise they are nearly £50 to buy a new full one
Our new van is already set up (regulator wise)to take a butane bottle, but thinking should swap to propane?

Its well worth changing as propane seems to burn a lot hotter. We're on the new lightweight propane and it seems to last well to. Calor are getting picky about exchanging like for like though so best try to get hold of an old calor marked propane if you can. They'll let you go from normal to lightweight ok but they looked down their nose when I tried to change a butane for a lightweight propane but did it under protest in the end.
not excatly on your doorstep but not a million miles away what size bottle did you want,?? ive got a 13kg ( well i think its 13 kg) and a 19 both empty with no deposits on them there for the take i you want it or.... i pay £20.50 for the full 19kg no deposit as long as you agree to take back to him for a refill.
another option is Brierly hill calor gas I used ot pay about the same price their
on the off chance try calling in to a roof repairs supplier this is where i get mine from
Try the scrap metal yards, they usually have loads of them abandoned outside . They can't take them in cos of fire regs , so they get dumped outside when people go to weigh in .
I have had several bottles from our local tip over the years as i used to use Camping Gaz then Calor blue Butane and now Calor red propane, but just lately they will not let you have one because of health and safety. Also our local morrisons petrol station will only exchange identical bottles, ie red 6 kg for red 6 kg. Have found that other places will change any calor for any calor.
