Weber gas consumption?

[jimbouk]

I know many will consider this a travesty, but I've just ordered a Weber e310 gas bbq....

Now that I have joined the dark (and convenient) side, I need to get a gas bottle for it.

However I have a choice of an internal 5kg bottle, or hook up a larger external bottle. Prefer the idea of the 5kg one, but do they need continual filling. I know it depends upon how much I use it!

Just wondered what the general view is?

The small bottles are a bit useless really, mine lasted about 2 months.

get the 10kg. I use the gaslight ones as you can see how much gas is left

The simple way to check how much gas is in a regular bottle is to pour boiling water down the side of the bottle. The water will cool where the gas is, and evaporate above where there is no gas.

Thanks for the advice!
