LPG & gas cylinders in Free State: local notes
In Bloemfontein suburbs like Langenhoven Park, Fichardt Park and Brandwag, households swap 9 kg cylinders for heaters all winter.

Guest houses in Clarens and Fouriesburg keep 48 kg cylinders on changeover valves, and plan deliveries from Bethlehem around long weekends.
Gas in Free State
The Free State is farm country with some of the coldest winters on the Highveld, and gas use follows both. LPG comes in by road along the N1 and N3 and from the industrial area near Sasolburg, to dealers and refill stations in Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Harrismith. Farmhouses heat rooms and water with gas, poultry houses use brooders, and grain farms may dry crops with gas burners. In the eastern highlands around Clarens and Ficksburg, guest houses and restaurants want heaters, fireplaces and patio heaters. Frost and snow on the Maluti side make indoor heaters common, so ventilate the room. Farm deliveries cover long distances, so plan ahead before the cold sets in.

- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove or heater refilled every few weeks close to home
