Hi
We been bought a Puck L a couple of months back and it didn't have a gas bottle, it's definitely butane, we only have a gas hob (no heater) what size gas bottle do you have? We're not sure what size will fit in the gas locker?!

We currently have a 4.5kg butane cylinder but are considering changing to a 6kg propane as apparently if you want to use in low temperatures the butane can solidify.

Regards
Steve

Not exactly solidify Steve, but at low temps butane ceases to gas and remains liquid whilst propane will still turn to gas at much lower temperatures. If you have an inboard gas cylinder (mainly on campervans) and the cupboard gets warmed by being inside then butane's fine, but otherwise it makes sense to use propane as there are no particular advantages to using butane.

Butane is cheaper so if only summer use required is the one to go for - higher calorific content etc......
