Mine is a tiny titanium stove that makes this noise like a rocket and it boils 1L of water in about 3 min. I've used one small canister (230g) during last 6 months or so (I think we did about 10 day trips using it twice a day each time

I looked on the can, but can't see any info, not even the Propane and butane mix percentage is stated.
It does say it has Propane, IsoButane and Butane, what is isobutane, thought it was isobutane butane all the same stuff, but maybe isobutane is a separate ingredient ?
