Cooking, heating and working on gas in Pinetown
Pinetown is a working town first, and much of its gas goes to factories, warehouses and food plants in New Germany, Westmead and Mahogany Ridge. Forklift cylinders are swapped from cages on site, welding and fabrication shops rent argon mixes and oxygen, and canteens and bakeries cook on 48 kg cylinders or a bulk tank. Up the hill in Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest, homes added gas hobs, geysers and heaters when load shedding bit, and the misty winter evenings on the ridges keep heater refills steady. LPG comes in by road along the M13 and N3 from coastal depots. Summer storms and heavy rain mean cylinders should stand on a raised, firm base away from drains.
The requests we see from Pinetown usually come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: small burners for site work where a 9 kg is too bulky to carry
- Homeowners: a backup cooker top for boiling the kettle when the stove cylinder runs out
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: market stalls and pop up stands running a single burner or warmer
