Cooking, heating and working on gas in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, one of the hottest towns in the country in summer and far from the main gas depots. The river is lined with vineyards, raisin and table grape farms from Kanoneiland to Kakamas and Keimoes, and farmhouses and staff housing use gas for cooking and hot water. Guest houses and river lodges serve travellers heading to the Kalahari parks. LPG reaches Upington by long road haul to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and farms along the river depend on delivery rounds. The heat is the main caution: keep cylinders shaded and upright, never in a closed vehicle, and check hoses that the sun has dried out.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:

- Homeowners: a backup cooker top for boiling the kettle when the stove cylinder runs out
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: lamps and cooker tops for bush camps and rustic sites off the grid
