LPG Water Boiler - Essential for Hot Drinks and Business Success
An LPG water boiler, also known as a tea urn, is an invaluable asset in catering, allowing you to serve hot drinks like tea, coffee, and hot chocolate—especially crucial on cold mornings. Many customers will try your service by sampling a hot drink before exploring other menu options, so mastering a simple cup of tea can do wonders for building customer loyalty. In fact, the first item I ever sold was a cup of tea, and it became a signature offering that helped spread the word about my business.

LPG Water Boiler Uses
Using an LPG water boiler is straightforward. Start by turning on the gas in your catering trailer, van, or truck, then ignite the boiler. Fill it with water, and allow it to heat. When it reaches boiling point, reduce the flame to maintain a simmer. When ready to serve, pull the lever to dispense hot water directly into a cup. Regularly top up the water to keep up with demand throughout the day.
How To Use a LPG/Gas Water Boiler.
This item is very easy to use just like boiling water at home but in a much bigger kettle. Start by turning the gas on in your catering trailer-truck-van, ignite the tea earn and simply pour in some water and leave to boil. When the water has boiled, turn down the gas to simmer and then pull small lever to release hot water into the cup.
These come in a variety of sizes which can hold from 5-8-10 gallons of water. I started off with a 20L (approx 5 gallons) water boiler which was sufficient. As you make more hot drinks throughout the day the water levels drops so top up the water boiler as you go along.
How to Maintain & Clean

Due to regular use, especially in hard-water areas, limescale can accumulate in the boiler, affecting the taste of drinks. Use a quality descaler as needed and flush the boiler thoroughly afterward to remove any residual solution. Regular maintenance helps ensure great-tasting drinks and prolongs the life of the equipment.
A reliable LPG water boiler not only meets the demand for hot drinks but also sets the foundation for a successful catering business. With each cup served, you build trust and loyalty among customers, keeping them coming back for more. For any catering professional, this simple piece of equipment is both a powerful asset and a solid business investment.
