Gas refill or new gas kit: which should you buy?
By Kula Kula Delivery Team · Published 1 November 2026 · Updated 1 November 2026
If you already own a working cylinder, buy a refill: you swap your empty cylinder for a filled one. If you are starting from scratch, moving to a different size, or your setup is incomplete, buy a new kit, which includes a cylinder and the equipment listed on the product. On your first purchase, the cylinder in a new kit comes with gas included, so you can start cooking once it is connected.
What you get with each option
| Refill | New kit | |
|---|---|---|
| You need to own | A cylinder to swap (same brand and size) | Nothing |
| You receive | A filled cylinder in exchange for your empty one | A cylinder with gas included on your first purchase, plus the equipment listed on the kit |
| Best for | Regular top-ups of an existing setup | First-time buyers, new homes, new setups |

The price gap today
The table compares a new kit with a refill of the same brand and size. The difference is the extra you pay on your first purchase, when you also get the cylinder and equipment (the cylinder comes with gas included). From the second time, a refill is all you pay for.
| Brand and size | New kit | Refill | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hass 6kg | USh 145,000 | USh 48,000 | USh 97,000 |
| Hass 13kg | USh 240,000 | USh 98,000 | USh 142,000 |
| Stabex 13kg | USh 235,000 | USh 95,000 | USh 140,000 |

How to decide
- Do you own a cylinder, and is it in good condition? If yes, and you know its brand and size, order a refill of that brand and size.
- Is your cylinder damaged, rusty or of unknown origin? Do not keep using it. Replace it with a kit. See our gas safety guide.
- Do you only need a burner or grill? Buy just that: our accessories are listed below with their prices.
- Moving to a bigger or smaller size? Buy a kit in the size you want. See 6kg or 13kg: which size?

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a refill without owning a cylinder?
No. A refill is an exchange of your empty cylinder for a filled one, so you need a cylinder to hand over. If you do not have one, you need a new kit.
Does a new kit come with gas?
Yes. On your first purchase, the cylinder in a new kit comes with gas included.
Do I need a new kit if I already have a burner?
Not usually. If you already own a cylinder and a burner that work, a refill is enough. If you only lack a burner or a grill, look at the accessories instead of a full kit.
Can I switch to a different gas brand later?
Your cylinder belongs to a brand, and refills are normally exchanged for the same brand. If you want a different brand, buy a kit of that brand. Call +256 774 578518 if you are unsure.
