How long does it run on a regular propane tank?

The Patio Flame is 60,000 btu's, so you will get about 7 hours of burn time running on high

You will need a regulator (like your grill has) , in addition to the tank.We have our heater run off a 500 gallon tank, hard to tell how long a 30 gallon tank would last. I would guess over a month, but just a guess. We love this heater, no regrets.bob

It doesn't come with propane bottles. You have to buy those separately. It's designed to be portable with two 1 pound cylinders. One cylinder lasts about 3 hours on a low setting and two cylinders should last 6 hours. Running it on high will cut this time in half. A case of 1 lb cylinders lasted me 2-1/2 days running it 24 hours. It will get you through a weekend camping trip in a tent no problem.

The small propane tank lasts about 4 hours (the green Coleman disposable tank). If you use a big tank that can be refilled about 30 hours

About 4-6 hours. I usually only place a half bottle so that it burns out rather than leaving unspent fuel in the unit.

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.

roughly 8 hours on a full tank. You can set a timer function to automatically turn off after a few hours.

The gas tank holds 1.1 gallon of gas. Ours ran for almost 11 hours on one tank.

The directions say it takes 1/2 pound of propane a day to run, so that would be 2 days. However, the connector fits a 20 lb tank not a small can. I haven't tried it yet, but will get the big cylinder when I do.

I'm afraid I don't know. Our unit is used for a parked trailer and shares a 7 gallon propane tank with the furnace and stove. Since I'm not the one living in the trailer I don't have any real sense of how often the tank is filled, how much of the use is the furnace vs. the water heater, etc. I do know that I was worried that it would use the propane a lot faster than the 6 gallon water heater that came with the trailer, but it doesn't seem to.

Depending on how high you turn the dial. Mine usually goes for 3 days or so on 1 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.

about an hour of running time per tank, fyi great little motor, ive had no problems at all with it, only neg. thing i can think of is it is loud, very loud but runs like a champ

Maybe 15-25 minutes. I have 220 and heats up to that in less than 5 minutes. Not real sure but its a good heater for money and you can use differ fuels.

The propane tank lasts for quite a while. We got our outdoor fireplace at Christmas and use it occasionally. We still have a mostly full tank of gas.

Depend on the settings, low medium or high, this heater uses two 1 pound profane tanks or the optional 20 pound propane if you purchase the hose, on low setting it will give you 12 hours and 2 hours on high with the 20 lb propane it will give you over 20 hours on high setting
