5kg Patio Propane Gas

The 5kg Calor patio gas bottle is the handy, portable option for smaller barbecues and tabletop patio heaters. If you’ve a balcony, a courtyard or a small garden where space is tight, this is the size that does the job without dominating the area. At around 32cm high and 31cm across, it lifts and stores easily and sits neatly under most BBQs.

It’s filled with Calor Patio Gas, a propane mix designed for outdoor use, so it copes with cooler evenings better than butane would. Calor’s built-in Gas Trac level indicator gives you a quick read on how much gas is left, which saves you running dry halfway through a barbecue. The cylinder connects with a 27mm clip-on regulator, the standard fitting on most modern gas BBQs and patio heaters, so it clips on and off by hand.

It’s supplied as a refill on a like-for-like exchange. You’ll need an empty 5kg Calor Patio bottle to hand over on delivery, or you can add a Calor cylinder deposit if you’re starting out. For regulator fitting or anything safety-related, follow Calor’s guidance or speak to us rather than guessing.

We deliver Patio Gas across our defined postcode area around Reading for a small fixed fee. The area is limited, so check your postcode is covered before ordering, or call the yard on 0118 9242888 and we’ll help you pick the right bottle and regulator.

FAQs

Which regulator fits the 5kg Patio bottle?

It takes a 27mm clip-on regulator, the standard fitting on most modern gas BBQs and tabletop patio heaters. It clips on by hand with no tools. If your appliance uses a different connection, check the fitting before ordering or give us a call to confirm.

What’s the difference between the 5kg and 13kg Patio bottles?

Both hold Calor Patio Gas and use a 27mm clip-on regulator. The 5kg is lighter and more portable, ideal for a tabletop heater or smaller BBQ. The 13kg lasts longer and suits regular cooking and full-size patio heaters. Pick the 5kg if space and portability matter most.

Do I need to exchange an empty cylinder?

Yes. The 5kg patio gas bottle is a refill on a like-for-like exchange, so you’ll need an empty Calor 5kg Patio cylinder to swap on delivery. If you’re starting without one, add a Calor cylinder deposit at checkout and we’ll supply a full bottle.
