I find the kettle boils quicker with butane and it's cheaper, but in winter I switch to propane because butane doesn't gas off as well in colder weather.

This is because butane's boiling point is higher, above (water) freezing point, whereas propane "boils" at well below (water) freezing point.

Use Propane it burns hotter, you get your Tea Faster, Also
Higher Freezing Point better for all year round use

 I am afraid that the complete opposite is true. Butane burns hotter than Propane, although you are correct about the higher freezing point.
