How much propane does this heater burn per hour?
846570
There are 90,000 BTU's in a gallon of propane gas so it will burn for 9 hours on a gallon on high setting. I returned these heaters as they did not have a thermostat control, just a heat control, low medium high. Be sure you get a heater with a thermostat not a heat setting.

sorry I am unable to tell you as purchased as a gift for my in-laws. Think 1500. This weekend the temps were in the teens and my in laws said the heater did well in their patio room which has no other heat. Took though about 30-60 minutes to take the chill off the room.

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 believe 4 hours depending on the setting. you are best to get the extra hose to use a 20lb bottle of propane [used for grills]. I have had mine for over a year and am very happy with it.

Per the product guide, this grill cannot be converted. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/D1RFC6DJ5MS.pdf Honestly, you could probably send natural gas to it and get it to ignite - it just won't get to 48,000 btus as they claim with propane. My dad has been running natural gas through LP grills for years and never had problems with temperature or ignition. But if you want to be on the safe side, I suggest you find a grill for which they sell a conversion kit.

I have an 18ft above ground pool, which is about 8000 gallons. It seems to heat my pool about 1-2 degrees per hour. In October the pool got down to 55 F, I would run the heater on Friday from about 9am - 9pm and it would get up to 74 F, then on Saturday the pool would be back down to 70 F and I'd run the heater again and get it up to a toasty 80+F. I did also get the conversion kit and ran this via natural gas and not propane.

I installed the heater at our camp in the mountains about an hour away, but it is easy to find the answer. Look on the label and you will see that it is a 120 volt/1650 watt heater. you just divide the watts (1650) by the voltage (120) to get the answer, which is 13.75 amps. You will need a minimum 14 gauge wire or larger (12 gauge) and a 15 amp breaker. If you are running the wire over 25 feet I would use the 12 gauge wire. This should be a dedicated circuit (nothing else on it).

Honestly, I'm not sure of the BTU's but I do love it. This heater very comfortably heats the living room, dining room and kitchen areas. It's difficult to say how much propane it uses since there are days when its warmer and doesn't come on at all so......

Hey Paul ~ the burner uses propane. I will share that this was a Christmas gift and used for the first time this past weekend. The recipients loved it! I hope this helps.

The cost to operate is 3 cents per hour with flame only and 8 cents per hour with flame and heat. It heats FAST [and I'm not kidding!] plus an added advantage is the outside of the unit never gets hot, so you can touch it and not worry about getting burned. We love ours!

At full blast less than ten minutes from room temp to 170. Good luck paying for propane right now though.

Propane contains 91K BTUs per gallon. A 40K BTU heater thus uses about ½ gallon per hour. A 100# tank holds 23 gallons of propane. Thus about 52 hours of heat from a 100# cylinder (versus 10 hours on a 20 pounder). You often get a price break filling a 100# cylinder over the little grilling bottles. There can be pressure fluctuations when tanks get low thus larger tanks are better. Also, use a two-stage regulator for best results (e.g.; search amazon for ASIN B0024E6TX2).

Not sure have only used once, for about 5 hours and did not seem to use much propane. Estimating about 40 hours.

Propane is expensive. Costs over $100 permonth for 45 degrees. Natural gas would be cheaper.

I honestly have no idea. All I can attest to is that when we use this heater to complement our heating system, we have realized a significant savings in our use of propane.

the heater is pre-set at factory for propane...did you change from propane to natural gas as the instructions #2 ( Quick Guide say)?
