Eastern Cape: the supply, the weather and the buildings
The Eastern Cape runs from a windy, salty coastline to cold Karoo plateaus and the mountains of the former Transkei. LPG arrives through the ports and by road to dealers and refill stations in Gqeberha, East London, Mthatha and the smaller towns. Motor component factories around Gqeberha and East London use LPG forklifts and welding gas, while holiday towns like Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred see gas cooking and braais in season. Inland, Graaff-Reinet, Cradock and Queenstown get hard frost, so heaters and fireplaces are common. Sheep and dairy farms rely on scheduled delivery. Coastal wind and salt rust cylinders and cages, so check valves and collars before every refill.
Who asks for small gas cylinders around Eastern Cape, most often first:
- Homeowners: a backup cooker top for boiling the kettle when the stove cylinder runs out
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: small burners for site work where a 9 kg is too bulky to carry
- Farms and smallholdings: a cooker top in the bakkie for long days in the camps and at the dam
