Propane and Butane are not compatible. You can connect Butane appliances to a Propane bottle however not vice versa.

The gas pressure regulator consists of three main components that operate together to control the gas's pressure delivered. A loading mechanism determines delivery pressure, and the sensing component (usually dialume) senses force exerted by the spring on it. A control element lowers the pressure of the inlet into the downstream pressure. The atmospheric pressure will influence the gas pressure as it is being transported by the regulator. This pressure is dependent on the height of your building above sea level. It is crucial to select the right regulator for your needs. This will ensure that you don't starve your propane bbq of gas at low pressure, which could cause it to go out too quickly or have irregular operation.
