Ok, so we are using the new(ish) modern small bottles that are powering our gas heater and separately our spare gas hob.
when we bought our camper van it came with a multihob and grill thing but was powered by a large calor gas bottle.
As we don't use it that much can we convert the big one to take the smaller bottles?

Re: Big old Calor Gas bottles & modern small bottles
Sorry, "can" then.
I am trying to get rid of a bottle in exchange for can. everything else we use is from cans which are easier to store etc.
So basically the answer is NO!
