Title: Gas Bottles
Post by: Cavfan on August 16, 2004, 09:34:02 AM: Fascinating though this is- I'd love pointing in the right direction of where to get one. I have of course used the search facility- being an effecient member and not wanting to put anyone to any trouble- however nothing appeared! So I know youre all dying to tell me- where do I get them and how much are they? Many thanks[:X]

When I went over the following visit the site man cornered me and said I owed him 12 million because he made a mistake on the cost so refills seem to be 23 million, don't know about deposits on the bottles though

Presumably there are local gas shops in Calis/Gunlukbasi?

Before those wise ar*es amongst you tell me that the appliance ceases to light- I just wondered if there was another way of knowing in order to avoid having to dash out part way through cooking to buy one! The one we've got was already in our apratment so could be nearly full or nearly empty!

Post by: KKOB on February 17, 2005, 17:27:47 PM: Once you've got used to it you can tap the bottle and can tell roughly how much gas is left by the pitch of the sound.

OR

Buy another one now! That way you've always got a spare and no worries about running out half way through a meal.

Alternitively Val, YOU can ask Uncle Muko and he will do it for you. (He just said he would ).

We use Innan (not sure spelt right)at Aygaz on the main Gunlukbasi road.
They will bring the first bottle complete with pipe and install for you. I believe the cost was approx 45 YTL, refills are 25YTL. We ran out one night whilst cooking sent him a text and 5 mins later he was at the door, amazing service considering we didn't give him an address. I can supply you with his number if you require or its a 5/10 minute walk from your house.
