I am an American retiree residing in the Philippines. I would like to import a Brinkman "All in one" BBQ from the USA. In America it is set up to use Propane gas, but in the Philippines propane is not available, the standard is Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). Can the imported unit use LPG instead of propane without alteration? If not what needs to be altered?

I’ve seen tumble driers advertised that use LPG, but they were discontinued a few years ago when the manufacturer went bust apparently. However, I’ve also seen range cookers with conversion kits, so I’m wondering if anyone knows of other appliances that can be converted?

Why does America use propane and butane, but the UK use methane as household gas?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but in America, they seem to call household gas (for cooking/ central heating etc) LPG, which is liquid petroleum gas… a mixture of propane and butane.

In the UK, we use natural gas instead, which is mainly methane.

Why the difference? Is one more energy efficient than the other? I know that butane is C4H10 as opposed to methane’s CH4, but does that make it a better energy source?

Is it natural to have less power on LPG than gasoline. I cannot feel the power after the conversion.

Where I live, in Melbourne Australia, LPG is less than half the cost of petrol – even taking into account the slightly reduced milage with LPG. So why do people overwhelmingly choose cars that run on petrol?
