When it runs on propane from a 35 lb tank, how does it work? Is there a flame somewhere? Is it safe in the car?

There is a small flame that powers the unit. When in use in a vehicle, use only the 12 Volt DC setting. Hope this helps!

Hi Claire,When using it in the car, it runs on 12 volt DC, which is the same as what your car provides. When in transit, only use 12 volt. It comes with a plug that fits into your cigarette lighter. When it runs on propane, there is a small flame, so when it is operating on propane always use proper ventilation. Also, it will run on household current too. Thank you!

YES...1 lb bottles are pure propane, refillable bottles are required to have scented oil for safety reasons, the oil is highly flammable and will still burn but will destroy fine filament portable heaters and will make the exhaust of other devices harmful to breath! This means that without the filter the fridge cannot be used in a confined space.

This grill uses a regular 20 lb. Propane tank , just turn the tank off and unhook from the grill. If you use the optional kit to use the small green Coleman tanks all you have to do is unscrew the tank off. Just store the rank as you would any tank .The propaine will not come out unless it is hooked up. When you want to use it again just screw it back on...pretty simple . This grill is amazing btw and easy to use and store . Hope this helps you .

LPG is stored as a liquid, and the gas which comes off of the liquid is what is burned.I attached a 4 year old tank of propane, and the generator started after a few pulls.

The gas connect is inside but the propane tank would be outside. You can find the manual via using google to see how it connects.

Wow! Way over my head with that one! Never owned a propane- fueled vehicle, so put me down as a "Don't Know". Good luck.

I use the 20 pound tank and roll it around in a small wagon. If you keep the valve turned on to the lowest amount of gas you need it will last forever. I found out you don't have to have it at a blow torch level to get something burning.

Hi, we just ended up getting a bottle propane for a few bucks. I am not sure about running it from a gas line on a camper. So sorry. The product itself is great and we have it attached to our boat. We love it!

I've had no problems at all with mine. Here are a few suggestions: (1) Does gas flow and just not ignite by pushing the igniter? If so, you can use a match or lighter to get it going. (2) Do you smell gas under the unit, but not in the fire box? Check to see that the nozzles are inserted into the venturi ports--also, make sure they are JUST inserted--air has to mix in where the side openings are. (3) Do you not smell any gas? Make use that the tank is full and that the screw in is all the way in and then that the gas valve is fully open. Those are the only things that come to mind.

NO !!! 1st its not safe to keep a 20-lb propane tank inside your house. If it were to leak or some other way vent the propane into your house it would blow your house apart if it ignited. Second it is more expensive to run than natural gas or bulk propane in a giant outdoor tank. Better to use something like this inside if you have to.ProCom Recon Dual Fuel Vent-Free Infrared Heater - 20,000 BTU, Model# MD3TPF

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

I purchased my propane frig this past year and used it for 3 four day weekends and a two week camping trip and have not yet run out the 25lb tank figure a total of three weeks+. I have been told that it would last a little over a month of camping with the 25lb tank. I would guess you would get about six to eight weeks roughly with a 35lb tank. Please note the unit runs coldest when it is on propane, there is no temperature setting for propane, so if you put vegies in it they will freeze over a few days. Lastly if the unit is "not level" then it will run less efficiently. Hope this helps.

I've seen it work on worse (much worse!!) Before you try it, drain the tank and rinse it with clean gas, then put it back on and you should be ready. You probably ought to take out the spark plug and clean it, too, then while it's out, crank the engine enough to get the smell of fuel coming out the spark plug hole. If it still won't fire, it's not the fuel's fault.

A fire wouldn't last long with a 1 lb canister. And you'd need a hose to connect to it so the propane isn't right next to the fire! Yikes! We use the 20 lb. tank with a hose connected to the fire pit. It lasts several nights. So handy to have where wood fires are not allowed.

Christian, This heater is the very best we've owned, but it will not operate on a 20lb. portable tank in my opinion. We had tried a 40lb. tank from the local propane dealer many years ago with a different heater and it worked, but not well.....took an entire day to heat the pool and used so much propane [because of the lower pressure of a portable] that it was totally consumed in two days' time. We have a large [permanent] 80lb. unit now like the ones that people use for small home heaters and propane cooking stoves.....one fill lasts almost all Season and the heater runs like a champ.

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 used an adapter to connect it to a small 1LB bottle. It works for 5 or 10 minutes or so but then the bottle freezes up, which means no pressure, and without propane moving through, the flame goes out. If you let the bottle sit for a bit and warm back up it will work again for a little bit before the flame goes out again.

The fuel tank is removable. I'm not sure about leaving the heater running as I never did that.
