Ben,
Lucky you… you had gas then? I have the stove (camping size) and gas bottle, but like a good safe citizen I keep it empty in my garage until needed. Now there’s no gas available in Hout Bay and I have a group of British tourists to look after - needless to say they are getting very good at making a braai…:-)
