This deal is on again but this time they are offering a £5 credit for any additional empty gas bottles you might have.
In the past they have never asked for an empty cylinder so maybe some people might have an empty or 2 hanging about. Sadly I got rid of 2 when i moved house recently.

Yes it's perfectly fine for you to use butane for your Weber BBQ.
You will need to change the regulator, 13kg butane requires a 21mm clip on regulator, £8.99 @ GasDeal or available online eBay or Amazon etc ; example

The website states the following:
This statement is clearly because the included regulator only fits green patio gas bottles, which happen to contain propane. If you are taking this sentence to state that butane gas is not suitable, then you should include also propane as not being suitable in your interpretation, since it is in the same sentence!

I've just sold an old 15kg butane bottle (weighed about 21kg) for £4.20 on eBay lol. Did loads of searches and it seemed as though you couldn't get a refund unless you had the original rental agreement.
Never mind least that explains why it was attracting bids

ro53ben...It's funny because I have a Weber BBQ and have been using butane for the past 13 months. In that time I cook on it 2-3 a week (on average).
So I can comprehensively say that "YES" butane does work on BBQ's...and you are correct when you say butane is useless in very cold weather.
Let's put this stupid discussion to bed.
Has anyone received their order yet?

Still a fair bit cheaper than Calor.
ro53ben
21 Mar 17#69
Indeed, I over simplified due to the reader failing to understand what I was trying to tell him.
However, Butane does indeed boil at -1C. Just like a cold kettle. When my butane ignition becomes useless on a cold day, I pour a jug of warm water over the bottle. You can hear it boil inside the container and, as if by magic, the gas starts coming out again. For a few minutes, until it cools down again and all the gas condenses once more and it becomes useless again. And you wish it was propane.

If you are only buying one, and have no empty to return, its actually £34

Now I will intervene. In cold weather, the gas does not liquefy..the contents of the cylinder IS mainly liquid, with the space above being the room for the liquid to gas off. As it gets nearer to the point that it no longer boils off into gas, the pressure drops until, in the case of pure butane, at -1 degree it no longer boils off, so producing no gas. Butane does not freeze at this temp., it does not boil (like a kettle turning water to steam).

Many thanks for the heads up, dropped off a few old bottles today, made some cash I wasn't expecting.
ro53ben
19 Mar 17#64
Butane burns hotter, so to get the same temperature you need to burn less gas. So the regulator has less pressure, which isn't enough to get to the end of a high flow gas burner. It will also blow out easier in a moderate wind. The pressure will get lower as you cook, due to the bottle getting colder and the gas liquefying.
It's harder to light, harder to keep lit and won't maintain a constant temperature. Everything you don't want in a cooking device.
If you only cook in hot, dry weather you don't need a 13kg bottle anyway - you'll die before it's empty.
andynicol
19 Mar 171#63
I dont know how many times I need to explain, aside from the lower temperature, which most won't find as an issue, butane will work perfectly with a BBQ.
We'll agree to disagree, I'm out.
ro53ben
19 Mar 17#62
Weber recommends propane as it works properly, I don't know how many times I need to explain this?
For a crappy gas burner, butane is OK in warm weather. For anything that deserves quality or precision outdoors, it's pretty useless.
andynicol
19 Mar 171#61
Swapping the other way, i.e. using propane on a BBQ which the manufacturer recommends butane 'could' cause problems due to the higher burning temperature, causing damage to the ceramic burner etc. but as butane burns at a lower temperature theres no logical reason why butane wouldn't work perfectly fine on a BBQ which came with a propane regulator, very simple task to swap the regulator, I have done exactly this, albeit not a Weber BBQ as seen here
Webers' recommandation of propane may be due to the popularity of propane over butane in the USA?
ro53ben
19 Mar 17#60
Really, it's not. Weber will indeed confirm, they no longer sell adapters for butane or natural gas.
andynicol
19 Mar 17#59
If you want piece of mind, email Weber customer support here, and ask the question.

19 Mar 171#58
Yes Butane burns at a lower temperature than propane, and yes it has a higher freezing point than propane, but is perfectly fine for use with a BBQ, Weber BBQ's included.

Different flow rates, different temperatures. Butane is pretty useless on a BBQ. It's cheap for a reason. It doesn't even make a good starter on my charcoal bbq as it doesn't work on colder days. Butane is only really good for indoor use.

Ignore the people claiming you can use butane on a Weber gas BBQ, they are wrong.
Some charcoal Weber grills come with a butane gas ignition, but all of the gas grills are Propane only.

Stupid question alert. We've got a Webber bbq which i tried to get a replacment cylinder for last year, the one I have is a 6.3kg propane but the local garage changed suppliers and the replacement cylinder I bought from the garage wasn't compatible with my attachment on the Webber, so I returned it and got my old empty cyclinder back which has been stuck in the garage.
So I assume i'd need some sort of adapter to run Butane on the Webber BBQ ? does anyone have any experience of this and which adapter I would need and is it ok to use butane instead of propane for a BBQ?
Hope this makes sense and many thanks for nay help.

In short no.
They dont normally give money off for return of empty cylinders, but there normal price for 13kg of butane is £23.99.
Even without an empty to enable you to get 13kg of butane for £19.99, £20.99 is excellent value.

Difference between propane and butane please? I could google that but I'm not after the chemical differences but rather the practical differences for domestic use.
andynicol to loofer
18 Mar 172#29
Google also gives you the information you seek, but off the top of my head ;
Butane burns at a lower temperature than propane,(thus propane normally used for patio heaters)
Propane has a lower freezing point than butane, thus commonly stored outside (caravans etc) and sees no adverse affects (in normal UK weather certainly)
Butane is normally cheaper.
Basics which I think your looking for...?
