Cooking, heating and working on gas in East London
East London is a port city on the Buffalo River, with humid summers, mild winters and salt air that reaches well into the suburbs. LPG comes in by road and through the port area and is sold by dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services, with routes out to Mdantsane, Qonce and Bhisho. Households in Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Vincent cook and heat water with gas, Quigney restaurants run gas ranges, and the motor and component factories on the West Bank use forklift and welding gas. Coastal humidity rusts cylinder bases and cage hinges, so keep cylinders on a raised, dry base and check the valve area for rust before refilling.
