RE: HARD WINTER ?
We changed from butane to propane quite a few years ago for that reason. They work at different pressures so that’s why the regulators are a different fitting, you can’t make a mistake.

In very cold weather you can see people using propane and the bottle can be covered in ice to the level of the fuel but it works fine.

Liquid propane boils at -42C, -44F. Liquid butane boils at -1C, -30F. Never any problem with propane.

In the past i’ve bought disposable gas cartridges with 90% butane 10% propane for winter camping, i don’t know if they’re still available.
