Not sure, but I use propane (red).

I did have a 37mbar regulator but it didn't bang enough heat out so I've got an adjustable one that goes up to 2 bar.

Be careful where you take it for a refill, i.e. Chambers in Howdon use Flo Gas and won't accept Calor bottles in exchange.

Propane ( the red ones ) Burns hotter so in theory uses less gas.

In practice the process is so inefficient you wont see any difference.

I built a hearth from fire bricks to try & retain some of the heat.
