Sorry cant help with a BBQ. But perhaps you can help me. I am looking to buy in the next 6 months, and hoped we could buy various items mail order off the internet and therby avoid having to pack them. Do you or anyone else have any experience of this. Oh and I hope you get your BBQ. Thanks

Hi,

We found that gas BBQ's on Tenerife we very expensive so we bought one here and took it over with us. We flew BA, packed it well and they put it in the hold for no extra cost.. :D

Thanks for that,

Where did you get your gas bottle?

We are in the North of the Island and get the gas bottles from the local garage.

Most people go to Alcampo or Carrefour not sure if Afortunadas (spelling) in Las Chafiras sell them and you can buy the gas bottles in most petrol stations
Hope this helps

Thanks for all the help,

I am going to buy one from B&Q as it will fit into a couple of suitcases dismantled and will be under the weight limit.

Cheers,

Mick.

I'm envious of you then!!! Here in Lanzarote, you can't get a gas bottle at the petrol station unless you have one to trade in :( So we had to buy our gas bbq here to get the buletin to get the gas bottle in the first place :(

Sounds strange as the locals must be able to get them in the first place!!!!

In theory you need a buletin or licence to buy one not sure if its still enforced

this was issued after the appliance was inspected to make sure tha installation had been done properly

hoses on regulators have still to be changed regularly you will see date printed on the hose

if you are going to use barbie on an appartment terrace again find out from communidad if this is within the rules you may invalidate your insurance if not

You can buy gas BBQ's in "El Fek" (yes Fek) along the road from Chafiras hardware mega-store in erm Las Chafiras, next to the Hypadino supermarcado
