Gas in North West
In North West, LPG follows two very different economies. Along the platinum belt from Rustenburg to Brits, mining suppliers, engineering workshops and busy mining towns use gas for cooking, water heating and cutting and welding work. Further west, on the maize and cattle farms around Lichtenburg, Delareyville and Vryburg, gas heats farmhouses, runs poultry brooders and fires cooking in places a long drive from the nearest dealer. Hartbeespoort adds weekend houses, guest venues and restaurants that want patio heaters and braais. Gas arrives by road to dealers and refill stations in the main towns. Plan farm orders ahead, keep cylinders shaded in hot dry summers and ventilate rooms where heaters run on frosty winter nights.
Typical small gas cylinders requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a backup cooker top for boiling the kettle when the stove cylinder runs out
- Farms and smallholdings: a cooker top in the bakkie for long days in the camps and at the dam
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: small burners for site work where a 9 kg is too bulky to carry
