How long would a 100 pound propane tank last?

I'm not sure how long a 100lb tank will last as mine is connected to a 500lb. The same tank that for my boiler. The fireplace heats our three season sun room great. The only thing is that the flame is not adjustable. The the remote allows you to set the room temp and will automatically turn off or on as needed. I hope this helps a little.

If the heater ran constantly, it would use 4.2 pounds every 3.5 hours. So if you actually had 100 pounds it would have a total run time of about 83 hours. But most 100 pound tanks are filled to 80% to allow for expansion, so you probably would have closer to 67 to 70 hours depending how full the tank is really filled.

Even the 10,000 btu Unit says it takes a 100 gallon tank. You'll also need a 3/8 male to 1/2 inch adapter to even connect it with a shutoff valve. If you need a small space heater for bbq tanks, buy a top tank unit. They will burn for about 29 hrs on a tank, but they're also dangerous.

Yes, you should have no problems mechanically - the fill connections are the same. Remember that 80% of total rank capacity = "full", i.e. it will only take 5 lb of propane.% full = 100 x (GW - 11.1)/5[propane is 4.4 lb/gal]

100# = 23.8 gallons at 4.24#/gallon. When getting one filled, make sure the propane guy tares the scale to the actual tare weight stamped on the top of the tank.

There is no simple answer to your question, because not all meals are equal, and it matters how many people you are cooking for. For two people with simple meals one gallon of propane will last for around two weeks. If you are really doing cooking, as opposed to just heating stuff up, it won't last as long. If you are feeding a group of people it will use more fuel. For comparison the one pound disposable cylinders are one-fifth the size of a one gallon propane tank. The efficiency of your stove might also be a factor.

50 to 60 pounds. It rolls very easily in the opened and closed positions. You do not need the propane hose adapter if you use the small tanks. I only use the small tanks and we use our grill 2 - 3 times per week. The tank will last about a month. With the lid closed it heats up VERY quickly! Watch it. The small tanks are always on-sale. Walmart has the best everyday price and they are on-sale at Menards this week 4 for $9.

I run my gas stove with the 100lb tank and I can go about 20 months without a refill. Hope that helps.

Hi Clyde: It takes the small propane tank (16.4 fl oz.) which actually lasts a very long time. There is an adaptor you can buy for thebig, regular propane tank. I have really enjoyed this bbq, it cooks very well and is easy to clean. Good luck.

I think it would be ok as long as the 100 lb. tank of LP was outside the cabin. A tank can vent if it gets too warm and the escaping gas could ignite. Best for tank to be outside or far away from the flame.

Just looked at the manual and it says ".5 Lbs / 24 Hours" so I'd imagine that you'd get one to two full days from one small can of propane.

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.

I bought the small propane "camping size" tanks from Walmart and for my uses in the yard the tanks last about 3-4 hours on medium-high burn rate. The propane tanks come with a protective cover over threads...remove the cover and screw the tank onto the threads of the Bernzomatic. You're ready to go...open the valve on the Bernzomatic, press the ignition button about 3 times and the unit lights. Great units. One other thought, I'm not sure how long the "igniter" last...I've had my unit about 5 years and it still works.Grandad Golfer

about an hour. you'll have to buy a 5 foot hose with a regulator an a propane tank for a grill. the bigger the tank say 100 lb. will last about a week depending on how long you let it heat. one thing it does heat. if you purchase read an understand the instructions.

The time a tank of propane will last depends on if you run it on low medium are high.... If you run it on low none stop a tank will last about 20hrs on medium none stop about 12hrs on high none stop a tank will normally last about 8 to 10hrs max..... I use mine out in my shop and it puts of great heat even on low so I would think it would work for a green house.

I believe a full tank can not be shipped normal carrier and a local lp/propane company files my 100 lb tank. Beware it will be heavy once filled! Tim

A standard size propane tank (like one on a bbq grill) will last right around five hours at a medium-low setting. Depending on how your firepit is set up (style of pit, location of burner, how far away the tank is located) will determine how much insulation - if you need any at all. This kit comes with a very long propane feed hose, so I would suggest you set the tank a distance away and place it in it's own separate enclosure. I do not use an enclosure and no insulation since my tank is six feet away and behind a brick post. I would advise you to separate the tank from the burner if possible. A single enclosure would likely be fine if it's designed (and properly insulated) for the purpose. When you're using consumer trade-in tanks, you never know if any damage has occurred to the new tank by the previous user. I have installed new tanks and discovered later they had been leaking due to damage to the connection threads from a previous user and that could create a dangerous situation if the tank were in an enclosed unit. It's a good idea to keep around a wrench and a roll of plumber's teflon thread tape to seal any leaks that might come up.

You could weigh them against the weight of a known full bottle About 2.05 lbs. If you feel the liquid inside the bottle moving when you slowly shake it from end to end in horizontal position there is still some useable propane in the tank. That's about it.
