Gas Water Heaters/Geysers

Gas water heaters are becoming increasingly popular as a way of saving on the monthly electricity account. Unlike traditional electric geysers, the gas water heaters we supply and install do not store water. They heat the water as it passes through the gas burners. So, as long as you have a supply of LP Gas and water, you have HOT water.

These units come in 6L, 11L, 14L and 18Litres. The term “Liters” refers to liters per minute that pass through the heater. The size of the water heater you chose is dependent on the number of hot water taps that are LIKELY to be in use at the same time. As an example, a 6L unit is adequate for a sink/basin, whereas an 18L unit would be suitable for a sink and two showers operating at once.

Unlike the gas water heaters of old, most of the new units do not have a pilot light. They detect the movement of water and automatically ignite. This ignition system can save up to 96kg of gas per year!

Fagor has launched a new water heater that works in conjunction with solar heating panels. It measures the temperature of the water passing through it from the solar system and ignites if the water temperature is lower than the preset temperature.

Using Gas Grills

The act of Barbequing or Grilling has been around as long as humans. Cavemen quickly realized that food tasted good after it was cooked over an open fire. Barbequing is a popular pastime for many South African families. The reasons as clear as to why, not only does the food that comes from barbequing have a taste that is unmatched by other cooking methods, but barbequing presents a reason for families to gather together.

Gas grills work by a spark igniting the gas within the grill. Gas grills typically have a knob or button in which you push, which in turn activates a spark, igniting the gas. Then the burner mixes the gas with oxygen and spreads it all over the cooking surface.

Gas grills come in all shapes and sizes, which makes then ideal for just about any type of barbequing party. Smaller gas grills give you the portability needed to plan barbeque parties away from home.  Larger gas grills are handy and efficient for cooking larger amounts of food quickly, and without the mess of other types of grills.

So after deciding that you indeed are in the market for a barbeque grill, there are several factors that you must consider when you purchase your first gas grill.

Weight

Gas grills literally come in all shapes and sizes. The type of grill you get should really depend on what you plan on using the grill for. If you foresee camping trips, barbeques at the beach or tailgate parties, you may want to consider getting a smaller gas grill. Portable gas containers are also available for these types of grills, depending on the make.

If your plans are more focused on home cooking, then larger grills should suit you fine.

Cooking Surfaces

Gas grills, unlike some of the other grills types, have the ability to come with many different types of cooking surfaces. These different cooking surfaces include a BBQ surface, a flat grill, and a ribbed grill. Some grills even offer these types of surfaces as none stick, which allow you to cook a whole array of foods that you would not be able to cook on a grill otherwise. You will be able to cook your whole meal, including side dishes if you plan correctly.

Some gas grills even contain a Wok type surface for cooking pasta and rise dishes, or a full rotisserie set that allows you to cook rotisserie chicken.

Surface Area

Similar to weight, you should consider the amount of cooking surface area you will need, depending on the situations you will be in. If you will only be cooking for yourself or you and one other, you will want a gas grill with a smaller surface area, as it will be easier to clean. If you plan on holding parties or cooking for a larger family, then you will want to consider a gas grill with a larger surface area.

This surface area may also include different types of cooking surfaces. Look for the type that suits you best, or is interchangeable.

Cost

Gas grills are available to suit most budgets. You can expect to spend anywhere from R700 for a smaller grill up to R13500 for a large stationary grill. Remember though, there are many different models within this price range.

You also have to remember that you must also purchase the gas for your grill.
