+Butane (not to be confused with [[fuel:isobutane|isobutane]]) is the most popular gaseous fuel after [[fuel:propane|propane]].  Fuel is available with other camping supplies.  8oz [[https://amzn.to/2yNtCfj|Butane canisters]] are also available, and often cheaper, in Asian grocery stores where they are popular for countertop stoves.
+Butane is not practical for use below freezing -- it won't vaporise below ~33F((propane vaporizes down to ~-43F)).
