I am having an external BBQ point fitted and wondered what is the maximum length of hose recommended and in reality what length do people actually have?

Wondered about getting a BBQ point put in but decided against it as I prefer the flexibility of moving the equipment where and when. When we go with a group of people we tend to BBQ together, in a central place. Then there are times when I prefere to move the BBW acording to which awning we put up, where the sun/ wind is etc. For all these reasons we decided against a BBQ point. Just my opinion though - it wouldn't do for us all to be the same.------------- David

We have the fitted BBQ point but very rarely use as it is to close to the awning when fitted, we prefer to move the BBQ about depending on wind etc.

We uae a 5 mtr pipe which gives the flexibility to get away from the awning, and put it roughly where we want to. No probs with pressure loss etc, and very easy to use.

We've got one on the van, but never use it, I've got a decent gas barby at home, but when We're away, quite enjoy doing it the old fashioned way.
I've seen some pretty long hoses used by others though, 5+ metres easily.

Just used ours for the first time this weekend and it was fab so easy. We have a two metre length - which was the longest pre cut piece the shop would sell. The cadac book says no longer than 1.5 but 2 seemed spot on

I think you may find that 2m is the maximum legal length, as stacetop mentioned, shops should only sell in 2m lengths.

Yep, none of the local caravan places near to me will sell the pipe in anything longer than 2m, they all state that it is for safety but I am not sure which aspect of safety they are referring to but I suspect it is trip hazard and pipe damage. I have the feeling that having flames close to an awning is probably more dangerous than a long hose.....------------- 'A sure cure for sea-sickness is to sit under a tree'

I have a 2m hose which I think is the longest you can have legally but when I change the pipe I would like a longer length.------------- Matt
