Which Gas
- Which gas cylinder should I use for my barbecue, heater, fire etc?

Propane (bulk tanks, large red and green cylinders and grey patio cylinders) has a lower boiling point than butane (yellow cylinders) and is stored at a higher pressure so it is more suited for storage outside. Butanes boiling point (conversion from liquid to gas) is around 0 - C so in colder conditions around this temperature, it will not work.
- Are the two gases interchangeable?
If the appliance states in the manufacturers guidelines that it can run on propane and butane, then you will need the right regulator for the gas you are using. You can only interchange the gases if it is stated by the appliance manufacturer. - Are the valves/fittings the same?
No, you will require different regulators.
