North West: the supply, the weather and the buildings
In North West, LPG follows two very different economies. Along the platinum belt from Rustenburg to Brits, mining suppliers, engineering workshops and busy mining towns use gas for cooking, water heating and cutting and welding work. Further west, on the maize and cattle farms around Lichtenburg, Delareyville and Vryburg, gas heats farmhouses, runs poultry brooders and fires cooking in places a long drive from the nearest dealer. Hartbeespoort adds weekend houses, guest venues and restaurants that want patio heaters and braais. Gas arrives by road to dealers and refill stations in the main towns. Plan farm orders ahead, keep cylinders shaded in hot dry summers and ventilate rooms where heaters run on frosty winter nights.
Typical gas bottle refills requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove or heater refilled every few weeks close to home
- Farms and smallholdings: farm cylinders taken in by bakkie and refilled together to save trips
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: workshops refilling owned cylinders for space heating, drying and small burners
