you have a couple of options here, if you plan on camping in colder weather then propane is the option, as butane will not "gas"under a couple of degrees. if you wanted to use the 15kg butane bottle( "which is quite large for camping- you may be better swopping it for a 7kg") , then you would have to swop the regulator supplied with the grill (red one) for a butane regulator (blue one) stu

If the cooker is the the one in the Amazon link then I don't think it is suitable for camping use & appears to be from America, the '20lb regulator' gives it away. You can see hose & regulator here & if this is same as yours it does not appear to be suitable for any UK gas bottle, in the Sears link there is a 'Blue Rhino' propane bottle which is USA, why it is advertised in £s, I don't know, it states not available for international shipping from US, but I guess this is correct gas bottle for your cooker. Its possible you could cut off existing regulator & attach suitable UK, ie Calor regulator, butane or propane & try it. Provided it is compatible with UK gas bottles you could use either butane or propane.
I suggest you take it back for refund & get a proper camping cooker, these can use either butane or propane bottles. Unless yours has has a different fitting to allow attachment of UK gas hose & regulator then they should not even be selling this cooker here as it appears to be set up for US gas bottle not available in UK..
If your cooker does in fact have a nipple to allow rubber pipe fitting in place of hose & regulator in Sears link then you can use any UK bottle butane or propane I would think. The pic in your Amazon link does not show any pipe but it does look like a screw connector when normal UK camping stove connector is nipple with push on hose secured with jubilee clip.
Sorry to be so long winded, but I've tried to cover every angle. Personally, I'd take it back & get a proper camping cooker for half the price which you could definitely use with your existing gas bottle.
