Calor gas lite

Who told you ??

Probably an agent who only has the heavy bottles in stock.

There was certainly a note circulating about this on Facebook but there is nothing on the Calor website.

Earlier in the year we stayed at the C&CC site in Chipping Norton and I managed to swap a Calor Lite and one of the site managers told me the same thing although I have not found it mentioned anywhere officially. I suppose the answer is to contact Calor direct via their website and ask the question. If it is true I seem to recall that it wouldn't be the first time they have discontinued a lightweight bottle, years ago they did an alluminium bottle.

I have sent an E-mail to calor ,as soon as i get a reply i will post the answer   

Does that mean the Calorlite I want to get rid of will be worth more?  or Less?  Anyone want one - its almost full.    I could arrange for it to be in Devon after Christmas or Lincolnshire now. 

Abandonment of Lite cylinders would merely acclerate the changeover to refillables, I would have thought.

Well if they are withdrawn and the way that Calor work,how long will it be before the "heavy" cylinders are the same price as the extra rip off price of the "lights?"

Ps has anyone checked the Tare weight of a light against a heavy

Just had a reply from Calor HO, and the answer was that the "lite" bottle is NOT going to discontinued, but due to the intermittent availability in some areas that customers opt for the 6kg steel bottle

Thanks Husky. 

(JVB The calorlite is approx 4.5kg lighter than the standard bottle)
