Hi, we have just purchased a new BBQ, which has the new style lcc27 plug.
We also have a Gasmate Wok burner with the old style connection. We have 2 near full gas bottles (+ 1 empty). We usually use Swap n Go, due to convenience, but I have heard that most places usually don't have much stock.
We would like to make use of the 2 near full gas bottles.
Is there any convertor we can use? I saw this: - MODEL NO. GM4031. Or is there anything similar?
Makes sense. Still looking if there is a conversion solution. Otherwise, we can take it off the old BBQ, but will become harder to get rid of.
Both are Zieglers.
You don’t need a new hose for the work burner btw.
LCC27 bottles are backwards compatible with POL fittings
Ty. I discovered that on the elgas site.
Do your bottles have LCC27? SWAP'n'GO has been phasing in since 2022
Admittedly, never really noticed them in the cage. I saw a double adapter on Amazon, but designed for LCC27 bottles.
Your LCC27 and POL regulators both fit bottles with LCC27 valves. So you have really old gas bottles with POL valves?
Yes all 3 bottles are the older/normal style valves.
I wonder why they changed? Sure it's slightly safer to have a valve on the cylinder, but making every portable gas bottle in the country obsolete has a cost.
I got this one, can screw in both POL and LCC27

Take the hose off the wok burner and put it on the new bbq, once you’ve used all your gas reserves, put the new hose back on bbq and buy a new hose for your wok burner.
