An earlier post by you "Sadly, New Zealand is probably the only country in the world that still allows the use of 9kg portable gas bottles inside a house or caravan." I'm not referring to a gas bottle inside the house. It's outside. |

| 1139028 | 2010-09-25 09:50:00 | Of course I have a BBQ and use a gas bottle to fuel it :) I just don't use it inside the house :) I agree about the cost of the induction top, but it was money well spent. |

| 1139030 | 2010-09-25 22:34:00 | We have the 2 large gas bottles that we use only for cooking though there is a couple of gas heated electric blower style heaters in the house as well which pump out a lot of warmth without any of the wetness of a normal gas heater. One large 45kg bottle will last us using it just for cooking anywhere from 9 to 12 months. The bottles are the property of which ever company it is but we pay no rental on them, I think with the latest price/gst increase we pay about 95 a refill. Excellent for cooking, very good control of the heat. Ours are attached to the garage wall so distance from there to the hob would be the width of a double garage plus a extra 20 feet or so. Ours isn't hooked up to the water but I have experienced instant hot water and it is great in a shower. |

| 1139031 | 2010-09-26 01:19:00 | The problem with the 9kg gas bottles, be they for cooking and/or internal heating, is that the device that houses them are not normally flued - hence the danger factor :( And yes, we had to buy a complete new range of cooking pots and pans for the induction top. But as both my wife and I enjoy cooking, that was no hardship :) |

| 1139034 | 2010-09-26 07:50:00 | Hi Pinoykiw,that's a pretty good price for a 45KG of LPG. Down here in Blenheim I"m paying $115.60 a refill, non rental.! ! | BobM (1138) | ||
