Gas bottle and refill FAQs
We've put together some frequently asked questions on our gas bottles service.
Propane and butane are both used as fuel gases, but they have different properties that make them better suited for different applications.
Propane is ideal for year-round use due to its much lower boiling point. This makes it a popular choice for outdoor appliances like BBQs, even in cold weather. While both can be used with BBQs, propane is generally preferred.
Butane, on the other hand, is commonly used for camping stoves and indoor heaters because it's cheaper and has a boiling point, which is sufficient for most indoor uses.
Both propane and butane can be used for barbecues, although propane is generally preferred due to it's lower boiling point.
