Updated for Winter 2025/26 – perfect timing for the current cold snap!
There are many places to buy Calor Gas in the UK (although there seems to be less and less places each year), but with prices ranging from as little as £5.00 to more than £8.00 per kilogram it can be difficult to know where is best to shop. We’ve taken a look at some of the most popular places and what the Calor gas prices are for each – focusing on just the camping & caravan gas bottle prices. We’ve also included the Calor recommended retail prices as a comparison too.
We’ll also keep them updated, so you can make an informed decision about where to buy your next gas cylinder or get one filled up.

Morrisons Calor Gas Prices
Morrisons are well known for their cheaper prices of Calor gas. Last year you could buy refills from Morrisons for around the current year’s RRP, but due to Covid this has been difficult to determine. We’re currently in the process of getting prices from Morrisons and will provide updates when we have them.

Discontinuation of Certain Calor Gas Bottles
Calor has officially announced that it will no longer sell or refill Calor Lite, 4.5kg Butane, and 3.9kg Propane Gas Bottles. This decision was driven by factors such as lengthy changeover times for refills and insufficient filling capacities for popular bottle sizes.
To address these concerns, Calor is introducing two larger gas cylinder sizes—6kg and 7kg—on February 1st, 2023. These new sizes will streamline the process of exchanging and supplying gas bottles while providing more gas per cylinder. The result? Less time worrying about refills and more time enjoying your vacation!
Existing customers can rest easy, as Calor will exchange their old gas bottles for the new sizes. Calor Lite and 3.9kg Propane bottles can be swapped for a 6kg Propane cylinder, while 4.5kg Butane bottles can be exchanged for a 7kg Butane cylinder.
You may need to upgrade your bulkhead regulator to accommodate the larger bottle and any necessary parts. Get in touch with a local caravan dealer for pricing information to ensure you’re ready for the new season and your next adventure!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between blue and red Calor gas bottles?
The difference between blue and red Calor gas bottles is that red bottles contain Butane, while blue bottles contain Propane.
What is the difference between butane and propane?
Generally, Butane is a type of gas that is often used for fuel, while propane is a type of gas that is used for heating.
What type of gas is safer, butane or propane?
Propane is the safer gas to use because it is not as flammable as butane. Propane is also less likely to leak than butane.
Why is Calor gas in short supply?
There is a supply shortage due to the war in Ukraine and the rising energy and gas prices. This has reflected in a shortage in overall gas. Plus, the recent COVID pandemic has resulted in record demand for LPG gas cylinders in 2022 due to the prolonged lockdown, also causing supply issues, along with the recent warm weather.
Are there any alternatives to Calor gas?
If the shortages are causing issues with supply, as long as your appliance has the ability, camping gas is still relatively cheap and in good supply at most stockists. Check out the camping gas products at Winfields Outdoors and Go Outdoors.
What size gas bottle do I need?
If you’re in a caravan it depends on lots of factors, such as the type (tourer or static), how many people you’ll be heating, what appliance you have, but we cover this in more detail and recommend the best size of gas bottles in our ‘What size gas bottle‘ article.
