Butane is a gas that's in your lighter. It's useful for turning on older stoves, cigarettes,
weed joints, starting a fire with firewood to stay warm if you go camping or if the power goes out, turning on candles, and butane can even be used in mini-stoves. Butane is not a bastard gas, pentane is a bastard gas. Butane might not be as fancy as propane, but Hank Hill used a butane lighter to turn on his cigarettes and accidentally took a
puff off of a weed joint thinking it is a self rolled cigarette. He ended up freaking out and sleeping in the bushes, LOL!
Don't drive
high! In another episode, he caught his son smoking a cigarette with his
friend, and made him smoke an entire carton of cigarettes and he joined in the end. Then Peggy joined. Then they quit.
