Our leisure time is more precious than ever before and with the summer season underway and the prospect of more good weather to come, we need to think of how to make the most of it. With the outdoor dining and entertaining market worth just over £7.1bn in 2017 according to nationalbbqweek.co.uk, it is no surprise that the item at the very top of the list for enjoying the summer will be digging out and dusting off the BBQ and inviting friends over.
Eat, Drink And Be Merry
Despite reportedly being an import from our cousins in the United States, the BBQ has become a solid British tradition that shows no sign of abating with 131 million of them being held in 2017. In fact, the only thing that is decreasing when it comes to BBQ trends in the UK is the use of charcoal as fuel – propane gas is now used in over 53% of cases.
This could be partly explained by a consumer-driven requirement for using ‘cleaner’ fuels that are not only better for the environment but also live up to higher expectations of food quality: no longer considered acceptable are the incinerated, bitter offerings that manage to be both burnt and undercooked at the same time; instead, today’s discerning BBQ attendee wants cleaner, fresher-tasting food that can be cooked in a controlled manner and eaten with confidence. Here at Adams Gas there is a range of options of Calor Gas available – whatever the size of your gathering.
If you’re celebrating a special occasion – or indeed just feel like adding that extra touch to treat your guests – Adams Gas even provide Carbon Dioxide liquid intake cylinders for glass frosting or to keep glasses and their contents cool during the summer heat.
Into The Night
With research carried out by Mintel in their Pub Visiting Report 2017 suggesting that the numbers of us heading out to the pub is in steady decline and with property space at a premium, it’s not surprising that we’re investing more in our own outdoor spaces and sales of outdoor products that enable us to do this are on the increase, allowing us to continue our gathering even when the sun has gone down. Today’s gardens don’t just have the motion-sensor security lights of old, usually triggered by a neighbour’s cat; now we have lighting at different levels: solar-powered stake lighting along our paths, up-lights trained on our prized horticultural efforts, fairy lights – previously only seen at Christmas – draped through our trees.
Naturally, the British climate being what it is, even the hottest of summer days can bring chilly evenings so we can ensure our guests are kept warm when entertaining outdoors by ensuring our patio heaters and gas-powered fire pits are well topped-up and Adams Gas range of propane patio gas is perfect for just that job.
So whether you’re working this summer or lucky enough to be able to take time off, make sure you keep Adams Gas at the top of your list to help you enjoy the sunshine while it’s here.

Gas Safety Tips for Your Camping Trip
There’s something about spring and the countdown to summer that makes you want to explore the great outdoors. Camping trips are at their peak at this time of the year, with many people choosing camping because of the numerous health benefits associated with it.
Camping Gaz is an essential product to take on your camping trip, providing gas for everything from lanterns to stoves. When handling gas, however, there are safety tips which you must not ignore. At Adams Gas, we have listed the most important gas safety tips to keep in mind on your next camping trip.
Avoid Enclosed Spaces
It is imperative not to use your camping stove or BBQ inside tents, caravans or anywhere indoors – especially when it is near to where individuals rest. Fire’s are easily spread, even under a careful and watchful eye, and this increases when in enclosed and confined spaces.
To work safely, BBQs need more ventilation than your tent provides, and if used outside, this reduces the risk of a fire rapidly spreading.
Cook Away from Your Tent Area
This may seem an obvious tip to follow, but it is easy to misinterpret the distance you have allowed yourself to use your gas cannister safely for the use of cooking. Make sure you have allowed yourself enough distance to use it in a safe manner.
Keep Away from Children
Camping Gaz and other gas products can cause harm to those who are unaware of how to use them correctly and safely. It is important to keep these products away from infants and children to prevent any harm.
Keep the product safely stored away when you are not using it. Whilst in use, ensure children are kept at a safe distance away.
Keep Away from Fires
Gas and fires are never a good mix due to the reaction they cause. This can result in injury to those who are within a close distance. When using your gas cannister for cooking or lanterns, ensure you are well away from any open fires.
So, whether you are camping with loved ones or friends, or you work within the camping business, ensure that you follow these tips to enjoy a safe experience when camping.
Here at Adams Gas, we offer a wide range of gas cylinders which are ideal to suit your needs.

It was also the Chinese who pioneered a similar ice cream dish, credited to 94 employees – known as ice men – of King Tang of Shang. They are documented as having made ice cream from buffalo milk, flour and camphor.
