My first guess would be the propane itself. In many areas they sell butane or a butane propane mixture.
The vapour the stove runs on is created by the gas boiling in the tank, the boiling point of propane is -44 F. So at a temperature warmer than -44 the propane in your tank is boiling. However butane boils at 30 to 34 F.
