Homes in Heatherpark, King George Park and the golf estates cook, heat water and warm rooms with gas, and guest houses and restaurants in town and at Wilderness run gas kitchens and patio heaters. LPG comes in by road on the N2 from Mossel Bay and on the N9 and N12, to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery to the smallholdings and farms. Damp air rusts cylinders kept on wet ground, so use a raised base, and keep heaters in ventilated rooms.
