Title: propane or butane
Post by: bobplum on August 17, 2013, 02:00:35 pm
Trying to find a local gas bottle supplier and the one nearest only does butane (green bottles ) but i believe this freezes or  looses pressure when it gets near zero.
I am best staying with propane

cheers

its not the case of being the wrong one, just that propane is better for using in cold/freezing weather

 Propane’s lower boiling point suits outdoor storage and is primarily used for central heating, cooking and numerous commercial applications. Butane, which doesn’t work in colder conditions, is best used indoors and is perfect for powering indoor portable heaters.
