Knowing SFA on the this issue could you enlighten me on the difference with heat/burn time for propane as against Butane. I did notice that the Butane size in the deleted list was always larger. Is it just about the equipment fitted or are they often multi-fuel?

As an aside, surely handling "lighter" containers will have a lower chance for injury?
