What will you be using the gas bottle for?

Beyond these distinctions, there are various benefits to each type of gas which we have detailed below. What are the benefits of using butane gas for BBQs? The gas bottle is always attached via a regulator. This performs an important safety function, as it controls the pressure at which the gas moves from the bottle to the appliance. It is important to ensure that you have the correct regulator fitted to your appliance for your chosen gas bottle. In simple terms, a green Patio gas bottle is compatible with a clip on regulator, whereas a red propane bottle will require a screw in regulator. There is one caveat to this however. You won’t need to use a regulator if you have a High-Pressure BBQ. This is because this type of BBQ is designed to connect directly to the gas bottle via a threaded connection. High-Pressure BBQs are designed to receive a much higher flow of gas and as a result, don’t require a gas regulator. Common types of gas bottles and their regulators This depends largely on how many burners your gas barbeque has. If it has between one and three, a 5kg patio gas bottle is ideal. If you’ve got a larger barbeque with four burners or more, then it’s recommended that you select a 13kg bottle. We have a handy tool: ‘ Which gas bottle do I need’, that could tell you specifically which bottle would be most suitable for your barbeque.
