The 20lb tanks works well and is still portable enough to move around the yard.

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.

I used a large barbecue tank and rolled it behind me in a wagon. A small BBQ tank would work on a shoulder sling.

My husband uses the tank for most grills. We happened to have 2. Note: no matter how wet what you are burning is have your hose ready!!!!

I use a 20# tank and have it on a 2 wheel dolly. Will run for a few hours with this size tank. I use it mainly to burn weeds and this makes it easy to roll around.

I use the same size that works with the propane barbecue that I have that way if one runs out I can grab it from the other tank. I also use an exchange that only exchanges that size

20 lb. propane tank; it's helpful to put it on a cart as it's the only way I can move it around as it's very heavy.

I like the 20-lb tank (typical grill size). It is a lot to lug around, but you can go through it fast. There is a version of the torch with a backpack tank holder, which would be convenient, but I'm too cheap to spring for that.

This hose worked perfectly for me. The larger end fits into a standard 20lb.propane tank and the smaller end fits onto the grill (regulaor fitting) that normally accepts a 16.4 oz. propane bottle.

I used this brand - Husqvarna 610000155 50:1 XP 2-Cycle Oil 1-Gallon Mix, 2.6-Ounce. Put one 2.6 oz bottle of oil to 1 gallon of gasoline. So you should have a separate gas container for your mixed gas/oil to use. You con't have to buy Husqvarna brand but it should be 2-Cycle Oil for chain saws or weed eaters.

I believe that a larger propane tank could be used with this grill if you had the correct adapter. The threads on the grill are for the smaller propane tanks used with lanterns and the like. I have an adapter that I can use with a large propane tank to connect a lantern head to it. That said, there is really no need to use a large propane tank given that the propane is only on for about 5 minutes to start the charcoal. I have also used the small propane tanks used for soldering and sweating pipe joints as they as typically a little cheaper than the ones designed for camping and can be found at any hardware store.

We use a 5 lb propane tank available at any grocery or corner market. I believe you can buy an adapter to use the smaller bottles, however, they will burn through very quickly as this stove's burners are large and although adjustable, can burn a great deal of gas at high temps. Green bottles are just not practical for this stove as you would need to change them too often, and maybe in the middle of cooking a meal if you are using more than one burner. That said, this is the best outdoor stove we have ever owned and it seems to be lasting now much longer than the previous ones. We have used just about every other brand on the market, and find this one to be miles ahead as far as ruggedness, and dependability. The top is cast iron, so it is made to last.

If you use the small tanks, make sure you have two available. My buddy works for Ashland propane so we use 50 lb tanks. When we cook for about 300 (wild game feast) we probably use about 8-10 lbs.

Any size propane tank will work, it is just a matter of having the right adapters to connect. My unit had the typical connector you would find on a barbeque grill but I use an adapter for the 1 lb can, available at most hardware stores. Other than that just make sure you hook the hoses up correctly (I had the water in hooked to the water out on the first try).

Both the people I know who actually own this grill have gotten themselves the adapter (with hose) that lets you use refillable "20 pound" (and other sizes) propane tanks. There is plenty of room on the bottom rack for a tank this size. This way only the fairly compact (and flexible) hose is dangling from the connection port behind the timer. (And, by the way, WHY did they make timer only capable of 99 minutes time?)

As I recall the flame is only 6 to 8 inches long-however the heat extends a much greater distance. On the first use I burned leaves on bushes that I thought were beyond the range of the flame and my shoe laces. Thereafter I put a bucket of water in a wagon and pulled it along just in case. The wagon also held the propane tank. The Hot Max saved hours of weed pulling.

You may use the small one pound cylinder by screwing it into the fitting one th right side of the grill. I prefer to use the adapter to attach a larger propane bottle. I also have a five foot long propane hose to run from the grill to five gallon tank. You may need an adapter on the tank side also. The grill works great and I use it a lot at home and camping.

yes, a propane grill size tank is what we are using, this is such a nice addition to our camping experience I wish I would have ordered this earlier in the summeer

Personally I would suggest 3 quarts. I used one quart on a 15 gallon gas tank and did the job. It's been over a year since the re-welding of the gas tank and the use of POR 15 with total satisfaction. On my personal use highly recommended.

I use mine with a full size tank and have no problem. You need to make sure that you buy a hose that does not have a regulater since there is already one on the grill. With another added to that it would really not be able to give you the full amount of propane needed. I never have used mine with the small tanks but have them on hand for traveling. The hose I bought is a Weber although there is another brand that is about $5.00 cheaper that should work just as well. Hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy!

I use mine with the same size tank I use for my propane grill and it works fine. All propane tanks now have a flow restrictor that activates if you turn the valve on too fast.

Go to your local hardware and grab a 20lb tank the size you would put on a Outside Cooking grill. sometimes you can find them at yard sales or second-hand shops for cheap. We use a 20 pounder "Outside Grill Size" works great.

As long as it's propane. The torch is calibrated for propane only. If you are using it for weeds to be honest you don't really want to be draging a gas tank on the ground and using a flame thrower at the same time. I would reccomend getting the backpack tank. If you are using the torch for another stationary use then the standard propane tank on a dolly will work.Aloha.

I have a 5hp 60 gallon Ingersoll Rand. It does a pretty good job of keeping up depending on the size of the job.
