I'd think carefully before doing it, BP gas is cheaper than Calor and a much bigger bottle. I use 10kg bottles in my caravan and I could get refills cheaper than my father could with his 6kg calor propane. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Hi,
I am with Pelyma on this on,
How many times do you exchange the cylinder in a year
if you can pick up a Calor cylinder then keep your options open and have both
or put another way if you were local I would offer to swap you cylinders

refill wise current pricing there isn't a lot in it ... the Calor bottle is 13kg vs 10kg. Refilling small container is only a few quid less than big one in either flavour.
the problem is the lack of choice of where to get it done. Calor seems to be everywhere, but this afternoon I had a forty-odd minute round trip, £28 for the gas, £6 for a tub SWMBO found in Homebase (but a good size for keeping beers cool in so not complaining) but then a further 30 mins and over £40 in Wilco
suspect I'll try and find an unwanted Gaslight canister. they only give you £12.50 back when you return them, so offering £15 will get me one and is cheaper than the £38 they charge over refill price if I just go and buy without an empty.
That way i'll not be out of gas on a sunny day like this one turned into
but thanks for the feedback chaps ... appreciated. .
