Went to Whites in Lawrence Hill to refresh my gas bottle on the weekend. They said that they will be going over to a larger bottle, about 3 times the capacity of the normal ones at a cost of £46 instead of £22. It will offer some cost savings in the long term, but they are going to be a lot heavier which will be a consideration for some (including me) that need to get them down stairs etc.

CO2 gas bottles
I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy.
Re: CO2 gas bottles
Wonder if this is a global thing for other suppliers, doubt I'll be able to fit one of those next to my fridge have a 6.3 kg one at present, how big is it?

Colin said they only had the big ones when he's been. I'm not bothered really, still got two small ones to work through.
Did they do an exchange for the small bottle?

Re: CO2 gas bottles
I got a smaller one this time, but I guess it will be a monster next time. For me the issue is manhandling into the cellar but can probably manage if i'm careful. Hopefully they will just exchange small for big.RogerP wrote:Colin said they only had the big ones when he's been. I'm not bothered really, still got two small ones to work through.

Re: CO2 gas bottles
The small ones I have are called 14Lb cylinders as they have that much CO2 in them (6.4kg ish) they weigh a lot more.

Re: CO2 gas bottles
Just collected a large bottle from White's. Now £48 plus VAT, but no deposit charged (and I had no bottle to exchange). It is a beast though, I couldn't lift it out of the car.
