Cooking, heating and working on gas in Brits
Brits is a farming and factory town in the Crocodile River valley, close to Hartbeespoort Dam and the Magaliesberg. The irrigation farms around town grow vegetables and grain, and some run gas in farmhouses, staff kitchens and for crop drying. Factories in the Brits industrial area use LPG forklifts and welding gases. Around the dam, weekend houses, restaurants and guest houses in Schoemansville and along the R512 run gas braais, patio heaters and tankless geysers. LPG reaches the area by road to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery reaching the farms. Summers are hot, so keep cylinders shaded, and close the valve on cylinders at a weekend house before you leave.
Typical gas cages and cylinder locks requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: caged storage for canteen and heating cylinders in a fenced yard
- Farms and smallholdings: locked cages at the farmhouse and poultry houses, far from the road
- Homeowners: a double cage on the side wall for the cylinders feeding the geyser and stove
