Calor Gas shortage

Peterborough has always been expensive jvb

I needed a 4.5kg replacement and visited our local farmers merchants who normally have what I need. When I asked for a 4.5 kg replacement they told me that in spite of being on the order they’d had none delivered for a long time.  We then spent time phoning around without success and when I spoke to the next site we are booked in at was told by the chap that calor supplies have been variable for the last two years. I then thought, let’s use Twitter and messaged Calor to get the following response.

We are sorry that you have experienced difficulty in obtaining a refill for the 4.5kg Butane cylinder, we do continue to fill and distribute the cylinder across the Calor network in aid of improving the availability and the circulation of the cylinder. However, we do not have details of who has stock as retailers do not share stocking levels with us via this channel so we are unable to provide you with a guarantee of where they can be purchased/exchanged.

Frankly, I’m amazed that the saga has lasted so long.  Wherever I’ve been there have been empties awaiting collection so there must be something more fundamentally awry.

Don't know where you are based P&K but try any Morrisons. They are usually a good source for Calor Gas.
