Kariega: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Kariega is a factory town, built around motor assembly and the many component suppliers that serve it, so forklift gas and welding gas are a big part of local demand. LPG reaches the town by road from Gqeberha and is sold by dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery into KwaNobuhle, Despatch and the smallholdings. Households use gas for cooking and geysers, and inland Kariega gets colder winter nights than the beachfront, so heaters are in use too. Summers are hot and dry, so keep cylinders out of the afternoon sun, and ask factory suppliers how cylinder cages are inspected and kept ventilated.

Who asks for gas heaters around Kariega, most often first:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: offices and reception areas heated on gas in ventilated spaces
- Homeowners: a three panel heater warming the lounge on cold Highveld winter evenings
- Gas installers, plumbers and dealers: appliance dealers stocking heaters and 9 kg cylinders before winter
