| Info needed please,
a/can you buy propane gas cylinders in TRNC for BBQ's and from where ?
b/ can you change the regulator on a propane BBQ to a accept Butane ?
c/ I know that gas is gas but does it make a difference to the cooking efficiency dependant upon which gas you use ? |

| Proprane is a much hotter gas, far better to cook with. From experience.
Live in the middle of no where in the UK, due to the many electric cuts I have always cooked with bottled gas. |

| Paul,
The Inter-Gas Propane (blue bottle) generally comes in a 10kg size which lasts for ages and is perfect for cooking both on the BBQ and a gas hob.
The regulator is easily changed to the one required here which can be bought in most supermarkets DIY stores (Yapi marketen) here. I know the little Yapi Market in Esentepe sells the regulators.
It's only a jubilee clip to loosen and replace the regulator and your BBQ will work fine... |

Thanks for that,we have blue cylinders for the cooker and Super Ser type gas heaters purchased in TRNC wonder if they are Propane or Butane ,am in UK at the moment so cant check .Yes i have changed many a regulator over and it is an easy job.
Thanks again for the info ,over again Feb 8th perhaps we could grab a beer at Kings and chew the cud ? |

| They are propane/LPG I think... i.e. the usual mix of gases that produce the correct thermal output for the region you are in... the amount of propane varies depending on median ambient temperature I believe...
The regulators cost approx 20-25 YTL... if they try to charge any more look elsewhere... |
