Ron Thanks for the warning. I have recently moved to Southern Ireland and almost all bottled gas there is Butane. I have had to convert my Sievert burner to Butane because the only Propane I can find within a 30 mile radius of home is in 72lb bottles! Also, the regulators have different fittings to UK, both for Butane and Propane. So much for standarisation.
