Valve Types — Two Families
- 6kg valve — smaller "camping" fitting; needs a meko/camping regulator.
- 13kg+ valve — the standard bullnose/POL fitting; needs the standard regulator.
Within a family, brands interchange: any 13kg cylinder fits your 13kg regulator. See connection guide.
Special Case: M-Gas
M-Gas runs a different model — a metered cylinder with pay-as-you-cook via M-Pesa (as little as KSh 10). Good for tight budgets; the meter locks when credit runs out. Different valve setup — managed by M-Gas directly.
Choosing a Brand
Three questions settle it:
- Price — local brands run KSh 300–500 cheaper per refill.
- Availability — will you find an exchange point near you?
- Preference — same gas either way; pick what you trust.
Our honest take: the brand comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix brands over time?

There are unlicensed repaints pretending to be brands — check engraving, not just colour (verification).
