How long with the heater run on low with a propane small cannister?

Not exactly sure but my guess would be 4 to 6 hours. I have run it on high in a cold hunting blind with a small canister for about 2 1/2 hours before I had to change cans. Hope this helps.

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.

My best guess would be about 4 hours on low... I used a third full canister to percolate coffee for 10 days during the Sandy power outage and did some lite cooking during that time which exhausted the can i had. Hope this helps...

im not sure but it will run 12-14 hrs. on a tank depending on your heat setting, HTH

It really depends on the appliance. I always shut off the bulk tank and leave the appliance on until it slows. The larger the appliance the sooner it runs out. A Grill, less than a minute. A Stove on high less than a minute. A lantern, a little more than a minute. A Mini- lantern a few minutes.

This dual-bottle Mr. Buddy heater (the big buddy) has higher BTU than the smaller single-bottle heater. On high, I don't think I ever got more than 5 hours out of a 1# bottle. I think the manufacturer includes some sort of specification, though. Check your user guide. For me, I use 20# tanks, not 1# bottles except in an emergency. The 20# tanks seem to last forever. The key is, the heater really heats a space. You don't need to leave it on for a long time. Just turn it on, bring your space up to temperature, then turn the heater off. For my 200 sq foot mini-cabin, with vaulted ceilings, this typically takes 10 minutes -- a few minutes to come up to temperature, and a few minutes to make everything really toasty and hold that temperature so it lasts. I've never tried to time a 20# tank -- I'd heat myself out of the cabin if I tried. So in winter, a 20# tank lasts about 2 weeks, and is usually 1/4 to 1/3 full when I take it down the mountain for a refill. Hope this helps. - tkh If you're using this heater, you're either car camping or using it in a stationary camp. In which case, a 20# tank is the best way to fuel the heater.

The unit must be level. The actual internal temp depends on ther ambient temp. I ran mine in our cabin in Idaho. The day time high was 90+ most days. The unit worked extremely well (temps of 40 degrees F) . However the frost build up requires defrosting every few days. I also have a PV system that has 300 AH of 12 volt batteries and because the unit only draws .75 watts on 120V inverter , we were able to run in the AC mode. Also keeoing the unit full also helps. Your 5gal propane tank should last 30 + days

I used my heater when I left in the cool mornings here in Florida to play golf. It was used for 2 hours each time. so I would guess it would last almost 8 hours on low setting.hope this helps!

Turn the variable switch up high until room is comfortable. Then turn it down to maintain temp. On high it goes thru the propane way, way quicker.

You need to check into what psi your heater operates at. There is a psi dfference in supply of lpr's of natural and propane.

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? There is 21,500 BTU's in one pound of propane.

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.

400 watts is about right. it takes a while to come up to full temp but you can use the propane to speed up the process. I leave mine on full time. always have hot water.

I used a heat gun on low setting of 750watt, worked just fine, just be careful not to get too close, it can melt it.

Kathleen, I have one of those working on natural gas and it works like a charm! You should have or buy the propane version and it will run on any tank, but if you need to run it on full for an extended time, I would recommend getting a larger tank. If it's a small room however, it is probably sufficient to run it on a low setting and then a small propane tank will most likely last quite a while. So, in a nutshell, it depends... Sorry, that's the best answer I can give you. Good luck and hope you're staying warm.

if you have the proper adaptor you could, I run mine off the small cylinder. It runs like any campstove.

I believe that the low end is between 36 and 40°. I am using the heater in the same way that you are planning to so if I'm wrong we are both in trouble.

on 110v ac it does get below 32f over night. On 12v dc around 40f - propane 35 - 40f must stay closed ' dont keep opening it every 5 min etc " takes a while to recover cold . altitude dont know thk theres a kit for that.
