Upington notes on lpg & gas cylinders
Homes in Upington, Paballelo and Louisvale mostly exchange 9 kg cylinders, and larger houses add 48 kg pairs for a geyser. Grape farms on Kanoneiland and towards Kakamas and Groblershoop order 48 kg cylinders for staff kitchens on delivery rounds, and some look at a bulk tank. Campers and 4x4 travellers heading into the Kalahari fill 3 kg and 5 kg cylinders in town, since refill points thin out further north.
Upington: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Upington lies on the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, one of the hottest towns in the country in summer and far from the main gas depots. The river is lined with vineyards, raisin and table grape farms from Kanoneiland to Kakamas and Keimoes, and farmhouses and staff housing use gas for cooking and hot water. Guest houses and river lodges serve travellers heading to the Kalahari parks. LPG reaches Upington by long road haul to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and farms along the river depend on delivery rounds. The heat is the main caution: keep cylinders shaded and upright, never in a closed vehicle, and check hoses that the sun has dried out.
Typical gas bottle refills requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: farm cylinders taken in by bakkie and refilled together to save trips
- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove or heater refilled every few weeks close to home
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: lodges refilling cylinders for cottages and outdoor kitchens on a town run
