Hotels and large restaurants around Sandton Central and Rivonia Road often have bulk tanks filled by tanker, while houses in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside want gas hobs, built in braais, patio heaters and flued gas fireplaces as part of a renovation. In Alexandra, across the M1, most households buy a 9 kg exchange from a local dealer for cooking and heating. Cylinders come in by road from depots on the East Rand and in the south. Office towers seldom allow cylinders inside, and cluster homes in Sunninghill and Paulshof have rules on where cylinders stand.

- 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
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: lamps and cooker tops for bush camps and rustic sites off the grid
