Can this be used with any portable propane cylinder, such as 1 lb. disposable bottles? I realize smaller fuel sources = more tank changes

I'm not sure, but I think so, probably with an adapter. I've seen other people refill the small 1-lb bottles from a larger tank and use them with a catalytic heater; the reason is to leave the large tank outside and not have it take up so much space inside a small motorhome. They also have a gizmo to refill the small cylinders and reuse them. It would be prohibitively expensive to buy new 1-pound cylinders each time. We had our portable heater plumbed with a quick-disconnect nozzle to feed directly off the motorhome's main built-in propane tank.

Absolutely, as long as you have the correct adapter. I got a small aluminum 10 lb cylinder to use with it. Light weight and it runs for a long time. Best heater I ever bought, just sips propane.

I think it can but a different hose and connection would be required. I had to get a hose with the right connector for the 5 gal bottle. I also don't think the one pound bottles would last very long.

No, the propane heater is set up for a 3/8th copper fuel line, not for a cylinder as it comes from the box.

I bought it on Amazon, not super cheap but light weight and will pay for itself over disposable bottles. Yes it is refillable.Worthington 299889 10-Pound Aluminum Propane Cylinder With Type 1 With Overflow Prevention Device Valve

Not directly. First you need one of these: http://www.casa.com/p/sportsman-5ft-propane-regulator-hose-kit-266809?site=CA&utm;_source=Google&utm;_medium=cpc_C&utm;_term=ZQB-12851&utm;_campaign=GoogleAW&CAWELAID;=1309083399&utm;_content=pla&adtype;=pla&cagp;spn=pla then get one of these: http://www.outdoorcooking.com/propane-tank-adapter.html?gdftrk=gdfV25448_a_7c1850_a_7c7563_a_7cAD60&gclid;=CMig3re_9roCFUQ6Qgodl2wAQw and you're good to go...

I would minimally use a refillable five pound bottle as the disposable cylinder's tend to get cold and reduce output when used on a steady output.
2007602
No, it requires a regulated gas supply down to a low pressure in inches of water, not tank pressure. Look at a Mr. Heater Buddy heater, they have an internal pressure regulator and are designed to connect directly to a tank such as a small cylinder or a 20 lb grill size tank or larger.

It is designed to be used with the larger bottles, but you may be able to modify it by adding an in-line low pressure regulator and an adapter to use the smaller bottle.

It is very efficient on fuel but I'm not sure about using a disposable propane bottle. You can hook up a small refillable bottle and buy the legs for it but one of those 'Big Buddy' heaters may be a better option. Our Wave heater is used in our camper. It's hooked up to our propane line and works great.

As long as the connector(s) are the same - it should work no problem. I believe propane threading/connectors are universal, so you should be ok. But Im not an expert. The only other caveat is that when using this pit at its highest setting you may go thru the smaller tank quickly. Ive only used my pit for maybe 30 min - 45 min at a time (on my patio) and I switch the tank between this and my grill all the time - so I cannot give accurate info on how long a 5# tank would last at full flame - but I have only refilled my 20# tank twice since I bought this nearly 2 years ago. From a standpoint of quality, its awesome. This thing is a tank and has lasted great so far. As long as the connector(s) are the same - it should work no problem.

I was able to attach this to a standard 20lb propane cylinder I purchased at convenience store. I just screwed one end into the tank and the other end into my Weber Q200 grill. Can't speak for any other grill equipment.

I use mine with the same size tank I use for my propane grill and it works fine. All propane tanks now have a flow restrictor that activates if you turn the valve on too fast.

I don't think so because of size of the end of the propane interconnect hose. This unit does use a fair amount of propane when in use and I wouldn't think the small bottles would last very long.

There is 21,500 BTU's in one pound of propane. So theoretically the 3,000 BTU output Wave-3 heater should run approximately 7 hours on 1 pound of propane. (21,500 devided by 3,000 =7.1). The problem that might arise from using the disposable 1 pound cylinder would be the possible iceing of the cylinder, caused by drawing the fuel out of a small space, causing the internal pressure to drop. Which would in turn stop the gas from flowing. (Like water freezing stops water from flowing). I have never tried using the one pound cylinders in this way. But considering they will power a small Bar- BQ, it might work?

Its made for the small BBQ propane tanks. So I don't don't know if you can use it with a bigger one. Sorr .

If the grill has a standard disposable propane tank connection it will work on the grill, or any appliance designed to use disposable propane tanks. The tank connector is designed for the new bulk tank connection.

Technically yes but in practice no. Propane requires a heavier canister that has a different size coupling than the lightweight propane/butane canisters this stove is designed for. So while it can burn propane you will have a hard time finding a canister that fits. Coleman makes a single burner stove that fits their heavy, straight propane canisters, I think.

This item is only compatible with the smaller fuel units...The larger green propane gas cylinders will not work.

Not sure. I dont think so but I highly recommend to do it if you. The refilling of the smaller propane tanks is a hastle. I even bought 3 of these tanks so I could minimize the back and forth to get them refilled.

There is no approved method of using a large tank. I suppose a clever person could rig an an adapter but I do not condone this behavior. Also the heater is supported by the 1 lb bottle, and that would require additional rigging. All in all not worth going against the mfg's recommendations.

No. This will not work with isobutane fuel canisters. The fittings are different and as such incompatible. While propane and isobutane burn at roughly the same temperature, this torch is not designed to burn isobutane. If you look in the product description, it even states "burns propane only".

Not directly to it. First you would have to get an adapter at Walmart to connect the 1 pound tank to an RV pressure regulator which has a coupling designed to connect to a larger RV tank. Between the stove top and regulator you would attach an appropriate length of propane gas line. If you want to connect a 1 pound tank directly you'll need to get a camping stove made to use that way.

I used mine with the large barbecue style propane tank. I connected the tank to my Coleman Road Trip grill, a lantern and the coffee maker.

I believe it is in regards to the type on valve on to of your tank, all up to current spec. Valves will work just fine.Most older tanks will no longer be filled at local propane stations anyways.
