As long as you change the regulators when you change the bottle as propane and butane run at different pressures.

Diesel is an engine not a fuel.

Check your specific cooker & fridge, they'll run off Propane (or at least mine do) but may need different jets for the change in pressure between the 2 types of gas. Not hard or expensive though
What a long strange trip it's been
