How long does a 7 Gallon, (Short Fatboy) Propane Tank Burn ?

That is dependent upon what your doing with it and whether you have additional protection from the wind. This cooker will absolutely get the cooking job done. It sounds like a jet engine and it performs like one. If you find fuel not lasting an appropriate amount of time consider establishing additional protection from environment conditions.

5-6 hrs if all you are doing is bringing up to a boil and maintaining a steady boil.That is based on boiling 14 gallons in a 60 qt pot.

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.

I've only made one batch so far with this burner, but from how much propane I used, I think you can get at least 4 or 5 batches per tank.

The Patio Flame is 60,000 btu's, so you will get about 7 hours of burn time running on high

When I cured my pot on the stove top I couldn't more than 5 gallons boiling. So I bought a bayou burner and use propane outside for full boils. I run off about 8 gallons or wort average though. Depending on if I do a 60 minute or 90 minute boil.

On small tank at least five batches ,depends on what your frying. Its well worth the propane.

It will last about that long maybe a little longer. I can usually cook about 3 times with a tank

I guess you could if you REALLY wanted too....but I think you'll be dealing with a marshmallow mess after. As far as tank time..depends on flame setting..on high I get about 5 hrs. This thing is really for atmosphere. ..not cooking.

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've never run it long enough to definitively calculate its duration. I also moved the tank when I needed it for my grill. However I can attest that it will burn for many evenings.

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?

The small propane tank lasts about 4 hours (the green Coleman disposable tank). If you use a big tank that can be refilled about 30 hours

I have a 22.5 WSM and it can go 12 hrs using lump. I can only guess on a 18 WSM and that guess would be around 8 hrs give or take. Remember the outside (ambient) air temp will greatly effect burn length.

Only if you get the propane model (LP) If you hook propane to a gas model you will burn your houes down!!A small tank wont last to long I dont know how long.

The directions say it takes 1/2 pound of propane a day to run, so that would be 2 days. However, the connector fits a 20 lb tank not a small can. I haven't tried it yet, but will get the big cylinder when I do.

We utilized a 7 lb tank and upgraded to a 40 lb tank for each of our heaters. The smaller tank lasted one evening. The 40 lb we can use at least 7 times at 4 hours per... Hope this helps..
