    I thought it would only be a matter of getting some sort of adaptor & reg?
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers Dean.
    Propane & Butane are both Liquid Petroleum Gases, however you need to have burners that are designed to operate on which one you use.
    Butane is much lower pressure & denser gas & will burn like an oxy acetylene torch without the oxy if used in a Propane appliance.
    I'm not familiar with the Webber baby Q, but if it is a propane appliance, the cylinder size is only relevant for vaporisation. The bottle may ice up if the draw is too great, more so the emptier it gets.
    Hope that helps,
    David

    How do the milk crates stand up to corrugations? Can they handle the constant vibration?

    I suspect that so long as the crate is well strapped to the roof rack and the bottle cant rattle around inside the crate, thus minimising any movement, all will be fine?
    Seems a lot of people use milk crates. I was wondering where can you buy them?

    Dave.

    Furniture stores that cater for 1st year uni students. I have seen beds, tables and lounges made from them.
