Butane and propane are gaseous on this planet. Unless you're planning to put
the items in question actually inside the pressurised container.

Butane is liquid at STP


How do you get over the small matter of the boiling point of n-butane being
just below 0C ? (Iso-butane boils about 10C lower.)

A puddle of it might sit for some time at STP, but ultimately it will end up
as a gas.
