Hello William,Hi, it was in Northern Ireland. It was very icy, never thawed the whole weekend. It was not my bottles, even though I was using butane (this was our last outing with our old Compass van). We were one of the few to have no problems. I put it down to the fact that we were not using any gas overnight as I am paranoid about leaving the gas heater on when we are in bed. Those whose bottles 'froze' up had left their fires on and using gas cools the bottle.
Yeh, well there was more room in the nearly empty barrow. Obvious init?Does remind me of a fellow who was asked to make one pile from two barrow loads of heavy wooden planks, one was nearly full and the other nearly empty, I kid you not he transfered the larger load onto the nearly empty barrow!!
We thought at the time he had one reasonable defence but nowadays it would not be PC to consider his nationality?!
Anyway, the reason this reminds me and despite all the obvious pitfalls of such folly, it does beg the question, why is the heater being used to heat the bottle? why not simply use the heater to heat the van????
