I should be fine now thanks, as each burner comes with 4 cylinders - so that will be 8 altogether and plenty for the odd power cut (and I say 'odd' hesitantly), unless they're planning to send any more storms our way - but thanks for the offer.

If you have one handy then Screwfix and Toolstation both have gas cylinders.

I'm looking to buy one of those Hyundai EV car adaptors that plug into the car and give you a three pin plug outlet connector so you can use the car as a supply.
Can't find anyone supplying it yet except Hyundai with the new car.

What type of three pin socket do you get on the adaptor? My first thought is that it's one of those blue caravan type connectors but maybe it's a Euro or British socket.

Check on ebay for cartridges. I did a search, and found you could get 28 for around £45.

Looking at Neil's video there Gibbo it would appear that some on board software is needed as well as the adapter. I doubt if your Zoe has the capability?

I have shoved a bit on the energy matters thread on what is known as "Vehicle to Load" or a socket in your car to supply appliances :-D It will more than likely become a more frequent offering, currently Hyundai Ionic 5, Kia Ev6 and yes the MGZS EV have V2L capability.

Unfortunately thieves are now making off with charging cables, either for the copper or to sell them on-line;

At least if they are caught the police should find it easy to charge them!! :sulk:
