Actually, Butane burns hotter than propane and overall, is slightly better than the two. However it behaves differently at colder temperatures (typically below 10 deg C), and fails to perform properly, which is the main disadvantage of butane.

The lightweight gas bottles from Calor are exclusively propane too, so throughout the year, propane is arguably the more convenient choice.

I'm sticking to propane year round.

Less hassle chopping and changing.....

And there's quite a difference between the prices for the same size bottle too.

Have used propane all year round for years, reason being about 25 years ago with our first ever caravan we had butane and it froze, what l did was pour boiling water over the bottle and wrap it in a old sleeping bag it worked for the rest our stay.Also then you had to change regulator to match the correct gas bottle. So now l stick to propane no problem.
