Gas stove butane/propane ratio?
Hello, my dears,
I'm going on a hiking trip and am already in the middle of preparations. I've now started looking into gas cartridges for my gas stove. I use a jet boil. The container says to use an 80/20 butane/propane ratio (exactly the ratio this manufacturer sells). If I use a 70/30 ratio instead, shouldn't that cause any problems? Is there anything I need to be aware of?

You can use it without thinking,
The only consequence can be that the cartridge is not completely empty at low temperatures.
0 degrees Celsius.
This depends entirely on where/or at what temperatures you are walking!?
You can use it easily
The more propane and the less butane in it, the higher the internal pressure and the better the cooker burns at low temperatures. Pure butane no longer works at low temperatures.
