BBQ gas cylinders - cheapest place to get?

chrisw99

Hi all,
Just bought a gas BBQ and now I need a 13Kg Patio Gas cylinder. As a benchmark, from the official Calor site to get it home delivered it's £30 for the deposit as it's my first cylinder, £22.50ish for the gas and £2.50 delivered = £55.

Am I likely to get much savings on this if I hunt around?

Cheers

Pink.

Hi Chris,

Speak to a Calor Gas Agent rather than Calor Gas themselves. You can find your local one on Yell.Com or the Calor Gas website:

An Agent will normally accept any Calor Gas cylinder as a deposit, saving £29.98. You can pick one up at most Council Tips f.o.c. or through www.freecycle.org.

Whilst Calor will not move on price most of their agents will. I used www.innergylpg.co.uk, paid £19.90 for a 13kg BBQ cylinder, used a (very) old cylinder as deposit and got free delivery.

Saving £34.56
