Cooking with gas

OK.

I have 2 x 9kg installed outside. The guy who did it told me it was required. He was wrong maybe, but better safe than sorry.

He wasn't wrong...he lied.

My gas installer guy told me that only gas cylinders over 9kg must be installed outside with the proper fixed lines and shutoffs and need a complience certificate. 9kg and smaller cylinders can be stored in a kitchen cupboard with flexible hose to the cooker. I hope he didn't lie to me.

Thats sounds about right.

well this is from personal exp ... sometimes when the gas nears its end of tank as i like to say
it starts leaving a blackish residue on ur pots and also you can feel if the tank is much lighter
than when you first installed or refilled

Just always keep a spare handy thats how i do it .

nope that is about right we have a 9kg in the kitchen but it has to be installed close to a window or
air vent and as far away from electrical fixtures as possible

Mine is 9kg's and I have a compliance certificate (this is a brand new apartment). All the apartments in this complex have theirs in the kitchen cupboard.

Easiest way is by weight. Generally, if you can easily pick up a 9KG cylinder with one hand, its empty. If you need to use both hands, then it's full. Depending on how strong you are, off course. And AFAIK you don't need a special cage for a 9KG.

use a mechanical weight and put the cylinder on it ? (small ones ofcourse) then if it reaches a stage of black residue under pot, check the weight and the weight of the cylinder and see if it matches
