vic008 17 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Anyone worked out any figures for, say, weekly consumption?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,586 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just used up one bottle. 4 weeks. Constant use and baking bread every 2 to 3 days. Without the baking I'd expect more like 6 weeks plus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 365 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 3 weeks for 5 people cooking only with a commercial gas stove with gas oven too . prior to that with a small gas stove/oven and a Califont with 3 people we would last 3 weeks . 9kg bottle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 per comments above there are quite a few variables affecting consumption: no of people? ambient climate? califont? (heavy consumer) quantity of baking ?(another heavy consumer) microwave oven available? On our 5 mth island cruise last year 2 x 9 kg bottles were used until we departed Noumea for NZ. There was still some gas left in the bottle at Noumea, but I changed to a full bottle prior to departure as I did not want to have to change at sea - my gas bottle locker is accessed via a transom door. This was for an average of 2 people, tropics (except for the passages), no califont, baking maybe once a week and using a microwave when appropriate. Also the BBQ has a separate bottle, but we did not actually use that as much as I expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I find with average daily family use I go through about 1kg per week ie a standard 4.5kg bottle gives me about a month. Sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit less depending on how you cook. If you pan-fry all your meals / meat then it’s obviously over in a few minutes. But if you fancy a winter-warming slow cooked pot or oven roast then obviously you chew through more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlastairW 15 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 5kg bottle - 4 weeks give or take a wee bit. 2 people, hearty meals cooked from scratch, using the oven for baking etc about every other day, sparing use of the Califont. Use a wee bit less when it's warm, a wee bit more when the temperature drops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
