Cooker Hose Adaptor for UK Cooker

Is the gas bottle intended to be inside the house or outside? There are two different types - the lightweight plastic ones (with a snap fitting for the détendeur) and the metal ones are blue and grey with a screw type détendeur which are propane. Butane is not recommended for outside storage.
The French détendeur for butane is explained here:

The better flexible hoses are preformed and usually available from supermarkets and brico sheds. It’s difficult to see how the hose is formed from your picture but the preformed ones, whilst more expensive, are a better bet and designed for the job.
This earlier topic might also be a useful reference…

Propane Gaz for cooking EDF and Utilities

Currently we use Propane for our Gaz cooker with the bottles stored outside the house (shortly to build a small housing for them which is down a gravel path in front of the house). We use the metal Propane bottles (blue bottom/silver top) [image] [image] and the appropriate red détendeur. The bottles are quite heavy to move around and have been considering the use of the plastic bottles (as we do for the gaz heater indoors - Butane) which are much less heavy. My question is this. Propane is recommended for use where the bottle is stored outside because of low temperature issues (serious minus temps can cause problems with Butane) but I am having a problem identifying a supplier of Propane in a similar size ± 13kg bottle. Sure, they have the small cube designed for BBQ’s and caravans but we’d be forever changing the gaz over (typically in the middle of cooking a meal!). It seems strange that Propane is not available in a larger plastic bottle - unless you know differently…
