LPG & gas cylinders in Bloemfontein: local notes

Gas in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein has some of the sharpest winters of any South African city, with hard frost on clear mornings and hot, stormy summers. Gas heaters, gas fireplaces and gas stoves are common in houses in Brandwag, Langenhoven Park and Fichardt Park, and many homes added a gas geyser during load shedding. LPG reaches the city by road on the N1 and N8 to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery services running exchanges across Mangaung. Restaurants and takeaways along Second Avenue in Westdene cook on gas, and farms around Bainsvlei and Dewetsdorp use it in farmhouses and for brooders. Winter is the main caution: ventilate any indoor heater and never sleep with one on.
