  • I immediately gave up on 2x 5kg after seeing it would be ~£60 more for 3kg less gas and ordered a 13kg one.

    The local gas company does free next day deliveries anyways so I'm probably never going to get caught out for any important event where I need it as I can just replace if it's feeling empty beforehand so not worth over thinking too much.

  • so not worth over thinking too much.

    Yeah, I can't not imagine the scenario of having some folks around and running out midway through the pizzas and having to go through a 45 min round trip to pick up a new bottle!

    I'd very much be in the "yeah it's nearly empty but I'll get a few more out of it" camp.

    Hadn't looked at the cost of the 5kg ones in comparison, but that price seems wild. Though I guess most of the initial outlay is just the bottle itself and then the refills/replacements down the line would be a bit more in line with the cost for the 13kg ones.

    Apologies to everyone else for interrupting the much more interesting and relevant chat about different types of flour with ramblings about gas bottle options...

  • The easiest trick is that the bottles usually have their empty weight written on them so you can check with bathroom scales. You also tend to notice when the pressure starts to drop on them.

    to help stoke that conversation, I've got a couple of kilos of caputo pizzeria red arriving today as well.
