You've been lucky. Butane is prone to cold weather blues..... something to do with lower pressure canister or something I think? google search should provide plenty of examples and discussion. I personally only experienced it for the first time today, but I'm not keen on repeating the experience.

experienced it myself a month ago at cooyar show grounds..
new gas canisters worked for 3 mins max and died away too nothing..
so the ever dependable coleman dual fuel stove and light went back in the truck...
gas relegated to the van...

you gotta warm the can up.... and each time it dies away you gotta re-warm it. If you only have yourself to warm it with it sucks big hairy..... well i guess if you were big and hairy the cold would be ok... hmm..... na seriously warm the can. Guy at the shop said that at one stage they were selling canister warmer kits???/ no idea what that really meant or how it was supposed to work.
Sleep with a canister is what a friend told me.... I didn't

Yep butane suck`s in the coldWarming the cylinder`s helps till the cold kicks in again
AT REST
Butane has a boiling point of 0°C at sea level, propane has a boiling point of -40°C. A regulator fed propane gas stove will still work when those butane stoves have long since given up the ghost.

SubscriberYeah, have a butane stove I used to take away for day trips but only ever once camping when I couldn't boil the kettle in the morning.
As other here have - I bought a Coleman dual fuel stove and have never looked back - absolutely love that.
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
