Neither are trivial.

Bang (or not..) goes that idea then.

Many small gensets can be converted ~GBP100. Propane has a number of
advantages, the bottles need to be kept warm as you will be using a
vapour take off.

Butane (blue) has a problem in the cold. Propane (orange) doesn't
suffer the same, at least not at normal UK winter temperatures. I
can't imagine that people with propane CH or cooking have no heating
or cooking when it gets cold. The tanks/cylinders are frequently
outside, unprotected. I've seen propane bottles with an inch or more
of frost around them, handy for indicating how much gas is left. B-)
