How long would a 20lb propane tank last with this heater running with medium flame?

Don't know about continuous use. I use mine, with 20 lbs. tk., about 15-20 times/ LOUISIANA WINTER. I fill it approximately once every other winter. I normally only run it for an.hour or two. My shop is well insulated (with an air supply for safety) and it is 750 sq. ft..

Usually a tank will last 8 hrs if you leave it at medium heat to low. Depending in the space required to heat. So if you the calculations. 20 min X 3 = 60 min 3X8=24. So about 24 times give or take a few.

This heater will make hot water until you run out of gas. I would estimate for a couple thousand gallons from a 20 pound propane bottle. Should be easy to hook up to a garden hose with an adapter. If you use the hose for the hot water side and make sure it is rated for hot water use .

The 11 lb. propane tank holds a little less than 11 pounds of propane. Commercial propane weighs about 3.696 lbs per gallon, so an 11lb tank holds about 2.98 gallons of propane. The typical 20 pound tank holds somewhat less than 20 pounds. So figure that the little tank is roughly half the capacity of the larger ones. The tank I bought is still working well, and it can be refilled wherever propane tanks are refilled. Many places charge by the pound as well for refills, though I've seen some that would charge a flat $10 or $12 for a refill of the 11 pounder regardless of how empty it was.

This heater requires at least a 100 pound propane tank for use. It cannot be used with a 20 lb. BBQ tank.

Hello, I use my Mr Heater to heat a 16 x 26 area with no problem. But I have it insulated pretty good. I want to say I could run around 6 hours on a 20 lb tank? If your garage is insulated, you would be shutting it off part time. The best way is to run it thru a thermostat. TSC stores use to sell a thermostat the would work on one of these? It's a nice little heater that you would fine is pretty handy to have around.Hope this helps,RGH

You can run a nice size flame for about (this is a rough estimate) of 15 hours. We bring one propane tank for a weekend and rarely go through it all. This product is awesome! Camp in Arizona with fire restrictions but with this unit always have a fire.

I would stay with the 20LB tank...keep a spare if you are worried about running out while cooking. A tank next to the grill looks too tacky.

The blower is powered by 120VAC, I use mine in the garage during the winter months. I also use the propane tank from my BBQ grill. A 20lb LP tank will give you about 12 hours of continued heat. I love mine, I think you will too>

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.

I modified mine to run directly off the RV's propane. How long it runs on a 20lb tank would depend greatly on how high you set the flame which is adjustable.

You can use 20 to 100 lbs tanks,I have found that a 30 or 40 lbs work the best [ease of movement and time before you have run out to refill your tank] As far as how long a 20 lbs tank will last-At full 60000 btu,outside 20f about 8 to 10 hrs.

I am using the standard grill tank. I can't see why you couldn't use the 40# tank if the connections matched. The only time you are using propane is when you are using hot water. Depending upon your application a 20# tank might be large enough. It certainly is for me.

Sorry, I'm using a regular 20lb tank and I have yet to run out. I've had it for quite a while.

Generac lists this answer on their website as a spec sheet. As the generator can run on either 20 or 30 lb tanks I'll provide both answers. Luckily I don't have first hand data for this question. 20 lbs = 4.75 hrs @ half load 30 lbs = 7 hrs @ half load You can follow this link and select "Spec Sheet" and get the answer direct from them along with other data. http://www.generac.com/Portables/LPSeries/LP5500/

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