Johannesburg notes on lpg & gas cylinders
In Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville most households buy a 9 kg exchange from a nearby dealer and carry it home, so ask whether the dealer will deliver to an upper floor. In Melville and Westdene a 19 kg cylinder, or a pair of 48 kg cylinders on a changeover valve, suits a house on a gas geyser. Refill stations in Auckland Park and along Main Reef Road fill cylinders you own by weight.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its LPG by road from filling plants and depots on the East Rand and in the south, then through dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery bakkies that work suburb by suburb. Many older houses in Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington moved cooking to gas during load shedding, often with a 9 kg cylinder beside a freestanding stove, and some added a tankless geyser later. In inner city flats in Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville, a 9 kg carried up the stairs runs a two plate cooker and a heater in winter. Restaurants on 7th Street and in Maboneng run 48 kg cylinders in cages. Cold Highveld nights push heater use, so keep rooms ventilated.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a gas stove with oven used daily, fed through the wall from outside
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: coffee shops and small takeaways with a hob that empties a 9 kg too fast
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a ground floor unit with a hob where the estate allows one outside cylinder
