Well..it's a bit toxic, yeah, but if you have elementar sulfur you can make it just by mixing the sulfur with carbon and heating it.
C + 2S ----Heat------> CS2
Anyway, I'd also think that butane is not convenient, because you have to work under pressure and because of the fire hazard! Toluene is a good solution.
It would be covenient to Identify the allotrope of sulfur (*); cf.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_sulfur https://www.researchgate.net/post/Does_anyone_know_the_solubility_limit_both_are_nonpolar_molecules_and_seems_to_be_soluble_of_sulfur_S8_in_n-pentane
