    Help connecting gas bottle to Weber BBQ

    This was in the online manual from Weber Cyprus but I also received a manual with the box that wasn't in English but this is what it says: "What Is LP Gas? Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LP, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, is the flammable,petroleum-based product used...

    But isn't Calor just a brand, and they sell propane and butane? So it appears your wife is confusing things as well haha. In Cyprus they call telehandlers just plain forklifts and all cereal are "cornflakers" even when it's not. The orange bottle isn't a mix of Calor, I am sure it's just the...

    Leak test successful. Sprayed on some water and soap, turned valve on and no bubbles. Now covered so I can rest for a couple of days!

    Does anyone know, am I okay leaving it on the porcelain tiles during winter? It rains a bit here but it won't be sitting in water, rain will hit the tiles and runs off into the drain so will just contact the base and run off. I have a cover for the BBQ which covers the grill and the bottle if I...

    Not sure, I know one retailer in Cyprus sells the Weber grill without a hose and regulator but the big DIY store I bought it from advertised it with hose and regulator but obviously it was the wrong regulator for Cyprus so it was pointless. I can't see anywhere in the manual where it specifies...

    Nope, it makes no difference. I know you have good intentions but the gas canister I bought is the same they sell everywhere from one side of the island to the other (120 miles give or take). There's some lovely luxuries here, and the usual, Starbucks, Mcdonalds, Beach bars, sushi restaurants...

    They have a saying in Cyprus "This is Cyprus my friend" :D:wallbash: Unfortunately there is no different source, every petrol station and supermarket on the island sells gas in exactly the same way, same supplier, same connector, same orange type of canister. Just one of the many things here...

    But if the valve is off on the regulator, surely that means that gas can't escape from the bottle?

    This was the comment that turned the lights on! Finally got it working. Bought the new type of regulator but still wasn't working, but basically I was pushing the regulator down from the top after locking it on, but you really need to wiggle it and push down on the black skirt and it drops down...

    Thanks for taking the time to look so carefully but that was when I had the hose to the side because I read the bottle should always be front facing but I turned the bottle a little bit and brought the hose round so the regulator could sit on the opening on the front but still no luck. Gonna try...

    That's a good point actually as well. Not sure the shop will be happy with me walking in with a 10kg gas canister, most aren't that helpful here, but I could disconnect the hose from the regulator and then I will be able to feel if gas is flowing so I can see where the issue is. Gonna go and buy...

    Yeah, I bought this one (the first picture) but I've seen the one below in a lot of pictures, not sure what the difference is but maybe the second one has a longer pin or different locking set up which will work better. I might go back and get this one later today to try it...

    Yeah haha, to be honest I'm not interested in arguing with the rest of the Cypriots about charcoal barbecues LOL. We have an apartment with a big square balcony and a larger tiled roof garden/roof top space above it but it will be hassle to lug up bags of charcoal and then have to clean out the...

    Help connecting gas bottle to Weber BBQ

    I actually smelt gas for the first time last night which is a plus I guess. I pushed the regulator on as hard as I could and twisted it around a bit into the fitting. I still didn't get a fire after a couple of minutes and couldn't smell gas from the grill but when I took the regulator off, I...
