The only concern I'd have with a propane auger would be the first start when it's super cold. Propane consists of a lot of hydrogen in its hydrocarbon makeup. When hydorgen burns it forms water of course and in a super cold engine that water condenses almost immediately and can condense on the spark plug fouling it. I learned this a long time ago when we had a propane forklift at a mill I managed. If the engine didn't start and rev up a little on the first try we had to pull the plugs and heat them up with a torch then put them back in real quick and try again. there were times we had to go through this procedure several times.
