Butane cycliders as supply to block shed?

Just noticed I said Butane. Red cylinders are obviously Propane!

I blame Keir Starmer.

Damned commie cylinders

Who doesn't these days?

When did that change? I installed my own LPG boiler back in the 80's & used ordinary lead solder.

My soldering is terrible. For water I used to use compression joints. Now I use plastic pipe and push fit. There is no way I would contemplate soldering gas.

I would have the cylinders externally (not like a caravan or motor home which has a built in ventilated locker) so I assume metal piping not the rubber/plastic pipe used internally.

Also musing that calor gas costs as much as electricity to provide energy so it might be as cost effective to fit an electric heater.

Just looking at the calor gas cylinders and wondering how to use the contents.

It does cost almost as much, and a bare flame heater would generate lots of moisture, and perhaps need ventilation....

Really your best option, if you are considering using electric, sell the bottles, and look at a Chinese Diesel Heater.

A CDH can be run on diesel, paraffin, even jet fuel. The air in, and exhaust out, are both to outdoors, so no fumes, or extra moisture indoors. They are small, rediculously cheap to buy, cheap and efficient to run. Cheapest fuel I found, was Jet A1 from a local airfield, but there are cheaper sources.

They just blow out hot air, recirculating, like anelectric fan heater, producing up to 8Kw of heat, thermostatically controlled. I use one to heat my outdoor workshop.

Thanks.

A very interesting option.

Buy a gas barbecue?

I already have a Cadac for the motor home. I also have charcoal BBQs So no real requirements.

Interesting thought, though!
