    Yet again I need to pick your brains (mmm brains)

    Does anyone know where sells the 6kg, 3litre butane gas cylinders. They're the ones you use on gas hobs for camping etc. I was thinking Millets camping shop in the Galway SC, but they might not stock ones that big?

    Anyone got any ideas? They're the re-fillable ones. Don't think i've ever seen anywhere that sells the big gas cylinders stock them - they only seem to do the big yellow ones

    Any advise much appreciated as usual ;)

    A bit of investigation tells me that I need Camping Gaz R907 (2.75KG) cylinders, available from Grate Gas in the Galway SC - Anyone know if that place is still open?? :confused:

    Yeah Grate Gas will sort you out. Leaders on the Tuam Road will refill them for cheap once you have bought them.

    That's harsh....the full size 11kg of butane/propane are usually about 50-ish....so more for less.....hmmm.

    Probably because the demand for the 907 is quite small compared to the high turnover of the 11kg ones

    I'm sure I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere (empty ones goign on eBay for a tenner, but then theres postage) but tbh I needed it for this weekend. Tell ya what though i'll be making sure not to lose this cylinder!
