Is this butane or propane? I'm looking for a butane stove, but this one has a chart for calculating propane usage. So which is it? Butane or propane?

This is a butane stove as the name states. I purchased the 8 oz. butane fuel bottles for my stove.

Never tried butane but propane yes. But at full burn if your propane tank is low it frosts up and you lose some btu's

I got the GasOne Butane Canisters. Works great. The canisters are easy to place in the portable butane stove and easy to remove when you are done using it.

Best to just order the one that is dual fuel or one designed for propane. There is a big difference between propane and natural gas.

It is propane. Make sure to check on the specs on your paticular model. The It is propane, but check the specs for you particular model.

Butane gas is not included. I think it might be cheaper to buy the butane gas at a local market. Hope this help!

The heater I bought runs on naturel gas not propane. Propane is hotter furl and requires a heater that is either made for propane or is listes as either which normally requires that an orfice be added or the burner has an adjustment. If the unit says natural gas or you are looking at the same as I bought it will not run on propane.

I bought a 12-pack of GasOne Butane canisters offered on Amazon. They work fine. As mentioned in my review, if you want a fuel to use in below freezing temperatures, then I'd go with a propane cook stove.

I would also like to know who makes a conversion for this unit. Would be nice to have propane.

I checked on the PGE website to look at my hourly charge. When the stove was on it added 10cents an hour. Where I live that's about half the cost of propane at about $3 a gallon. I switched over to electric heating last winter and literally cut my heating bill in half!

Hey Paul ~ the burner uses propane. I will share that this was a Christmas gift and used for the first time this past weekend. The recipients loved it! I hope this helps.

I've been living with just a butane camp stove for two years now. (Long story. I also have a toaster oven, electric skillet, and crock pot. It can be done.) We found that using our camping set of Black Ice works best, uses the least amount of butane. We use the pots almost daily. They run through the dishwasher just fine. The interior is still wonderfully non-stick. The exterior has taken on a white cast, but that doesn't change its effectiveness. We do take them on our camping trips. Because they are so thin, though, you need to be careful that the contents do not overheat and burn. Also, the handles feel precarious. I've never had them slip, but if you have a full pot of water and spaghetti, take care. I always use a good hot pad to maintain a good grip. Having said all that, these would not be my first choice on a regular gas or electric range. You should choose a set of cookware with real insulation -- much better for daily cooking. These work for me on the butane camp stove because they are so light and thin.

Wow! Way over my head with that one! Never owned a propane- fueled vehicle, so put me down as a "Don't Know". Good luck.

The canister sold here on Amazon are fine, I would think any brand would be about the same, I hunted for the best price. The canisters are larger than the ones you find for refilling a lighter, and with shipping cost, around 2.00 - 4.00 each. Each canister lasts threw several days. I used mine mailing to heat water and make small meals for one during two week long power outages last fall, and am on my second canister. Butane is hotter than propane, takes a lot less time to boil water, and watch your food close! It will burn quickly! These stoves are great for emergencies, or camping.

It's a propane but they make a ng unit as well as a conversion kit. Read all instructions if doing a conversion it's easy to make an expensive error.
