How much heating time do you get with the propane canister that comes with it?

A propane canister doesn't come with it. You need to buy either a coleman fuel canister or the adapter for a larger propane tank. I highly recommend the adapter as even running two coleman canisters on low you'll run through them in 5-8 hours.

It doesn't come with propane bottles. You have to buy those separately. It's designed to be portable with two 1 pound cylinders. One cylinder lasts about 3 hours on a low setting and two cylinders should last 6 hours. Running it on high will cut this time in half. A case of 1 lb cylinders lasted me 2-1/2 days running it 24 hours. It will get you through a weekend camping trip in a tent no problem.

Well I don't have a gas stove, but I have a gas grill out of doors... on that it took about 10 minutes. Results may vary though; its not an exact science

I have not timed it but it probably depends on the flame setting. I think I heard it goes an average of about 1 hour, but I have not yet used a full canister.

It is All In One cooking system. The Propane canister has to be bought separate.

I checked on the PGE website to look at my hourly charge. When the stove was on it added 10cents an hour. Where I live that's about half the cost of propane at about $3 a gallon. I switched over to electric heating last winter and literally cut my heating bill in half!

I got my canisters in the camping department at a local store. I don't know if Amazon sell it but it it very possible they do. It is propane in small canisters.

It comes with a 30 psi adjustable regulator and hose. It is ready to go except for the propane.

I've used one eith my pressure cooker for 90 minutes -and not at max heat setting didn't seem to hurt it any set up I use noe for canning is what my Amish neighbors use -propane burner set up and in an outdoor (back porch ) kitchen.

You use the small cylinders you get at Target or Walmart....usually 2/$5.00. I remember using this kind of propane on a camping stove. I grill 3-4 times a week & since the spring when I purchased this I'm on my 3rd tank. You can also buy the hook-up to use the large tank too. I love this grill....it's so easy, I put it together myself.

It does not come with propane but the tank is purged and ready to be filled. So there isn't anything special you have to do with the tank once you receive it.

Depend on the settings, low medium or high, this heater uses two 1 pound profane tanks or the optional 20 pound propane if you purchase the hose, on low setting it will give you 12 hours and 2 hours on high with the 20 lb propane it will give you over 20 hours on high setting

I haven't run my generator more than a few minutes as it has only recently been received. I do remember seeing 4 1/2 hours at approx. 1/2 load with a 20 lb tank. I've stocked up with a few extra tanks and figure I'm all set as I'd probably run it for a few hours at a time to keep heat, hot water, and refrigerators available as needed. The fact that propane doesn't go bad was an influence in the decision to buy a LP powered generator.

This grill definitely used a lot of propane! I cooked Breakfast and Dinner on this using both burners and used 1 to 1 1/2 cans of propane each day. It puts out some heat though and can bring a large pot of water to boil within 5-10 minutes. You don't need the burners on high with this grill. Medium/low worked just great. Love this grill a lot but wish it had indicators to help control the low/medium/high settings.

The propane tank lasts for quite a while. We got our outdoor fireplace at Christmas and use it occasionally. We still have a mostly full tank of gas.

Propane contains 91K BTUs per gallon. A 40K BTU heater thus uses about 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).

It uses propane just like your grill. It uses very little fuel. I can get four 9 hours smokes out of a tank and still have some left over.. I love mine. The cabinet design and pull out shelves make it a breeze to use. Very well made except the lags are flimsy. You don't dare drag it as the legs will buckle. Lift to move.

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.
