Gas in Western Cape
The Western Cape has a wet, cold winter and a dry, windy summer, and gas covers both. LPG comes through coastal supply points and by road to dealers, refill stations and delivery services from Cape Town to George. Many Cape Town households switched to gas hobs and geysers during load shedding, and restaurants in the city, the Winelands and along the Garden Route cook on 48 kg banks or bulk tanks. Wine farms around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester use gas in kitchens, tasting rooms and patio heaters. Salt air on the Atlantic and False Bay coasts rusts cages and valves. Complexes and estates often limit where cylinders stand, so check with the body corporate first.
The requests we see from Western Cape usually come from:
- Homeowners: a backup cooker top for boiling the kettle when the stove cylinder runs out
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a small cylinder for a balcony braai where the estate rules allow it
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: market stalls and pop up stands running a single burner or warmer
