How long will a 20 lb tank last at full flame? The chart doesn't go up to 55,000 BTUs.

Not sure about full flame but we've used ours camping 2-3hrs a night on moderate flame setting for a week & the tank never ran out.

I don't know yet. I've only used a few times for our outside movie nights. And haven't gone through a tank yet.

I'm not sure exactly but I have used mine for several hours and still have almost a full tank.

Per another site (https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081023082349AAiiA4y) there are 433,000 BTU in a 20lb (BBQ size) tank. At max, the Mr Heater is rated for 45,000BTU/hr. 433,000/45,000 = 9.62 hours of run time.At min, it is rated at 10,000BTU/hr. 433,000/10,000 = 43.3 hours of run time.

I use the 20 pound tank and roll it around in a small wagon. If you keep the valve turned on to the lowest amount of gas you need it will last forever. I found out you don't have to have it at a blow torch level to get something burning.

yes you can use 20lb tank with this heater depending on amount of time required to heat area

I am using a 20 lb tank every day for cooking on the patio. But you can also use one of those little bottle tanks for camping or tailgating.

Hard to answer, if you burn on high probably 6/7 hrs medium to low 10/12. This is on a 20 pound BBQ grill size tank

I would say a 20 lb propane tank would last 1-2 hours with it on full. I'd also recommend that you get the squeeze-switch so that it only has a pilot running when you don't need it. This also increases the safety significantly if you drop it.

From experience I have found it consumes 1 gallon per hour, 20 gallon (BBQ) propane tank is roughly 4 gallons.

My tank does not last 21 days either. First, I would ask the manufacturer. I brought home a newly filled 20lb tank. The tare weight (empty) was 16.6 lbs. I brought out the 2 scales that I own (1 digital and 1 spring type) to see if the it weighed 36.6lbs. Both scales read less that 33 lbs. Of course, my scales are not calibrated so maybe that's the problem. I buy from a trustworthy supply store but I don't know to what extent the propane scale is calibrated or regulated to a standard. The other thing is the 'burn' rate may not be accurately controlled at the factory (call them) so that there may be a considerable variation from unit to unit. I'm still not getting the kill rate I had hoped for in my yard/woods. Yesterday I did an extra fogging using a Black Flag fogger just to work in there.

I haven't actually used up a large tank yet but I've run the cap fire at 2/3 to 3/4 for 3-4 hours and used maybe a third of the tank. This puts out a lot more heat than most so it'll use up the gas but I've never needed to run it full blast.

i don't know the BTU out put but when i hook it up to a small propane tank it puts out a five inch flame. hope that helps. I also hooked it up with the holes facing down to prevent water from sitting in the ring.

The previous answer is wrong. A gallon of propane weighs 4.2 pounds. This tank holds 11 pounds of propane, which is approximately 2.6 gallons. Standard 20 pound tanks hold 4.8 gallons.

The 20 lb tank is about 4 gallons. The same hookup can ge done with the 5lb tank or you can use the thin/long throway canisters. I use the 20 lb tank with multiple hookup tree so I can hookup grill and stove at the same time.

I just took the 20# tank off my BBQ pit and hooked it right up. Don't see why you couldn't use a larger tank cause I think they would be the same pressure.

Best info I can give you is a 16hr smoke with both burners on used about 1/4 of a 20lb. Tank

A E Tank holds around 680 ltrs. of oxygen. So a tank will last around 25 mins. at 25 lpm. here is how I came up with that, tank ltrs. / lpm. / 60 = time. I hope this helps you

We have used this burners at high temp. only, and a 20 lb tank last a little longer than 8 hours.
