> Ok - so whats the difference between Butane and Propane anyway

Not a whole lot, but they have slightly different properties.  Butane is
C4H10, while propane is C3H8.  Butane has a lower boiling point, so works
even in extremely cold weather, while pure propane can have problems when
it's really cold.
