Butane is quite similiar to [[propane]], but with a slightly lower [[stoichiometric]] value of 3.23%. Pure butane is found in lighter refill canisters.

Butane has a lower vapor pressure than propane, and its boiling point is -0.5°C (31.1°F), so it won't work well in low temperatures. It is most easily used the same way as [[aerosol]] fuels.

Disposable canisters with mixtures of butane, propane and (sometimes) isobutane is sold for camping gear and blowtorches, this gas evaporates at lower temperatures and can be used in cold weather.
