Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

I agree that electric cooking is better, and my next boat will be gas-free.

Too much of a PITA to convert this boat to electric, however. With some luck I will have a new boat in a couple of...

Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

Bingo!

So Visby Återvinning in Visby refilled my UK Calor gas bottle!! It cost about 20 euros -- not that cheap -- but 4.5kg of gas will get me back to the UK and last through part of the autumn...

Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

Wow, that sounds . . . adventurous.

In order to be sure not to overfill the "receiving cylinder", wouldn't it make sense to refill it from a smaller "donor cylinder"? Then overfilling is...

Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

I have one of those on board with me! That exact kit. Actually belongs to a shipmate who bought it for his circumnavigation, and was given to me by mistake together with some of my mail, while we...

Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

Thanks, definitely useful!

We will cook on our hot plate while in port, for a while, to conserve what gas we have left. Gas shortage is also a good excuse to have a barbecue :) Maybe try to pick...

Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

I have heard now from several sources that many Swedish gas suppliers will refill non-Swedish bottles. Maybe that's the solution?

I have a quite new and good Finnish bottle which is just like a...

Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

Thanks!

So I'm out of luck unless I buy yet another type of bottle :banghead:. Nor do I consider 1500skr inexpensive. The connection would be no problem..

I guess I need to try to get by...

Re: Sweden -- Gas Bottles

Thanks -- I do have an electric hot plate, so we won't starve when the gas runs out. Finding the power for electric cooking is not a problem on my boat, although the shore power up here is often...
