This is n-butane.

Explanation:

n-butane has a boiling point of 1 C. It is commonly supplied in canisters (sometimes small ones), with some quantities of isomeric methylpropane. Butane with propane is a constituent of LPG, liquefied petroleum gas. The short carbon chain makes it very clean burning. Of course for this reason it is a potent greenhouse gas.
