Calor Patio cylinders are propane bottles designed especially for outdoor heating appliances and barbecues. Standing out with their bright green colour, they’re not easily mixed up with blue Calor Butane bottles or red propane types. This minimises confusion at a glance, which is reassuring when you’ve an armful of picnic essentials.
Propane is ideally suited to our variable British weather. Unlike butane, propane continues to deliver steady performance even in chilly conditions. So, Calor Patio cylinders keep your BBQs sizzling and your patio heaters glowing, well after the sun dips. Robust and designed for life outdoors, each bottle is straightforward to move around, whether it’s behind the shed or to a new seating area.

Calor Patio Gas Cylinder Sizes and Specifications
Selecting the right size cylinder helps you avoid unnecessary lugging and waste, ensuring you have what you need for your get-together.
- 5kg Cylinder: Light, compact, and easy to handle (314mm high, 306mm in diameter, 10kW offtake). A firm favourite for smaller BBQs or heaters, and ideal if storage space is at a premium.
- 13kg Cylinder: Offers a bigger capacity (580mm high, 315mm in diameter, 15kW offtake), making it well suited to larger patio heaters or regular hosting, so you’re not left mid-BBQ with an empty bottle.
For those running multiple heaters or organising larger gatherings, even bigger propane cylinders (such as 19kg and 47kg) are available, though bear in mind these may need a different regulator.
The main aim is to match the cylinder size to your appliance and anticipated use. Most modern garden heaters and BBQs list recommended options, but if in doubt, a quick chat with your local stockist or a glance at the guidance below each product will set you straight.
