Gas bottle help

I've just been playing with some numbers:

At home we go through a 40kg cylinder every 3 months. That runs a 4 burner stove, BBQ and instant gas hot water for 4 people and warm washers for our clothes.

So running all that gear in a 3 week period our place would use 9kg of gas, so 2 people living off a 2 burner stove, you should have gas to spare by the time you come home.

Thanks Tony.. That gives me what I need.. Cheers for that.. Odog

How long didn't it last?

I've heard you can boil the billy above the grill, while toasting your bread.. How many days did you get out of it?

i used to get 3-4weeks out of a 4kg without using the grill.

Before getting a second 4kg bottle, i did the oppositre as Odog, I used to lean the bread up against the kettle dropping it onto the element after the kettle had boiled.

After enjoying toast agin with the second bottle i felt paying swap&go fee in remote locations, just about every fortnight rather than paying a hardware half the amount every other fornight (thus 75% cheaper), was more bothersome than leaning my toast against the kettle, so i went back to leaning my toast against the kettle...

until

With the savings I bought a canister stove and a element stove-top toaste maker, then ditched the second lpg bottle...

My last vehicle I had no installed gas, just the portable stove and a proper place for it...
It's more expensive but the convience, versatility and compactness it very very good...

My next vehicle I hope to have a diesel stove..... Gas scares me...

Thanks, that's great to know, I'm keen on only carrying the 4.5kg bottle.. So think that will be good enough to last the trip.. Cheers for that.. Odog
