Butane (blue bottles in the UK) boils at around 0C so if it is colder
than that you will only have liquid and no gas! Propane (orange / red
bottles in UK) is MUCH colder at around -40C.

Most people use propane because it will work all year round. Campers who
only go out in the warmer months will use butane as it is slightly cheaper.

Get an auto changeover regulator and two bottles and the flame won't
suddenly go out on you. We have two 19kg propane bottles for our hob and
have to refill a bottle every year or so.
