Butane burns at no less than 450 Celsius.
But it might actually be higher.
See related link.
the hotter something is the more the molecules in it bounce around. This bouncing around makes it so that molecules are more spread out in hotter air then colder air so the hotter air is less dense and the less dense air rises above the colder more dense air.
Answer:
Assuming good mixing and proper flow conditions a butane/air flame (like a lighter) can reach temperature of 1,977o C

∙ 11y agoAt least 490F. That is the ignition temperature of most petroleum based fuels including lighter fluid. The flame in order to continue burning must be at least this hot. The actual temperature is dependent upon the rate of firing, essentially how fast the fuel is delivered to be burned, the surface area of combustion and the amount of air supplied to produce an efficient smoke free flame. A cigarette lighter burning liquid lighter fluid will get to slightly over 500F while a charcoal grill using lighter fluid for ignition of the charcoal might reach as high as 800F or more until the fuel is exhausted and the charcoal begins to burn. Liquid Butane lighters, usually disposables burns hotter about 850F, as it is gaseous butane (Ignition temperature 826F) and not liquid petroleum.

What happens when you mix ammonia and lighter fluid?
What most people call "ammonia" is actually a solution of what chemists call ammonia in water. If you mix household ammonia with lighter fluid, they won't mix. Lighter fluid is probably (mostly) butane, which is not exactly miscible with water. I'm not actually positive whether it's miscible with "real" ammonia or not in the liquid state, but I doubt it; ammonia is polar and butane is not.
How hot does sulfur burn?
3000 degrees
How hot does benzene burn?
Just under 3000 degrees
How hot does white phosphorous burn?
From what I've heard, it burns consistently at a temperature of 30 degrees celsius, but can burn hotter when in dry air.
Is naphtha a compound?
yes, its a compound for petroleum distillates. also known as lighter fluid
Cannot find my dad's lighter fluid to make handheld fireballs are there any substitutes?
I do not believe so. The reason why you can only use lighter fluid is because it does not burn very hot. There may be a substitute, but I do not know of any.
What is the difference between zippo fluid and butane?
Butane lighters burn hotter but use up fuel fast compared to regular lighter fluid lighters which do not burn as hot but do not use up fuel as fast.**The answer is found in chemistry. Butane is a specific chemical, ie. C4H10; an alkane with four carbons and ten hydrogens. Lighter fluid is not so specific in its contents - it is generally defined as a highly combustible (thus high octane) hydrocarbon; Naptha.
What is a substitute for lighter fluid for a BBQ?
I have used the gel from a can of Sterno. Just smear blobs intermittently on your pile of coals and light. It seems to burn cleaner and is not as "explosive" as lighter fluid.
Can you use zippo lighter fluid for charcoal fluid?
Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.
What should you put on lighter fluid spill?
lihter fluid is safe to drink but you would urinate and it would burn don't drink it at all

How to refill a metal flip lighter with lighter fluid?
Slide the lighter body out of the lighter case, by pulling on the wick cage. With the lighter body upside down squirt lighter fluid into the fiber packing in the lighter until saturated. Reassemble the lighter body into the lighter case. Let excess lighter fluid evaporate before using the lighter.
Can WD-40 be used to refill a Zippo lighter?
No, while it is a combustible product, it lacks the volitility of other products. It actually CAN be used, and will light and burn pretty nicely, BUT your cigarettes will taste funny! Someone 'borrowed' some fluid from me, not noticing I had marked the can "WD-40" with a marker. He had to get new cotton and a new wick for his lighter!
How hot does a lighter burn?
The blue part of the flame is 1400 degrees Celsius, and the redder part of the flame is around 800 degrees Celsius.
