How long is your gas supply run?

I built a wok stove for this burner in our ramada. I ran a separate 1.5" gas line to the ramada. the run is about 90 feet. That said, the burner sounds like a jet

I'm using 1/2" tubing that runs 14 foot so that I can place the burner outside my basement door. This keeps my gas hookup/valves inside.

I have 1/2" supply line in the house from the meter to the stove. I put a T at the stove and ran a 48" 1/2" corrogated gas line to a 1/2" ball valuve and then to the burner. I have all the BTU's that I need, It roars like a mini jet. It is large enough for resteraunt wak cooking! (Chinese cooking)

According to the manufacturer this unit uses .46 gallons per hour, but that is running continuously on high. Therefore, it should last about 43 hours at that level. Actual length of time would depend on factors like how cold it is outside, how high you set the thermostat, the size of space being heated, and how much insulation it has. When it's around freezing outside mine kicks on about 1/3 of the time on natural gas so I would expect it to last six days on a tankful if I switched it to propane. If the natural gas stops flowing I will simply hand it next to the window, run the supply line through the cracked window, and fill in the rest with a towel. Another advantage of this one over a cheap tank topper is that it has a low oxygen sensor so you do not have to worry about going to sleep with it on. Mine has been on all winter for four years and the only time the sensor shuts it down is when the jet needs cleaned which only required a drinking straw and lungs.

Gas tank is 1.1 gal. and up to 8 hours on low demand. I just went to the Dolphins game and the gas lasted 5 hours on full load.

i think its 2 or 3 years but i had trouble with gas lines within a year and they would not cover it. they said it was the ethenol eating them up.

Depending on how high you turn the dial. Mine usually goes for 3 days or so on 1 tank.

Dear Friend, I have this item, but have not ran it long enough to give first hand info on this part. HOWEVER, much research including reading the Owners Manual & other peoples reviews, leads me to believe appx 8 hours is a good estimate. Seems like if you run a light load, you might stretch it to almost 10 hours. This is for a 20 lbs. Tank. I have based my back-up supply on 8 hours and have decided to be happy for any minutes I get past that mark. Good luck, R2

I have had mine about 15 months. I run it about once per month for a half-hour, and I still have about 1/3 tank left, so I would guess it would run about 7 or 8 hours on a tank.

I couldn't really tell you since I never let it run down to the last drop. I usually filled it halfway. Also, depends on the setting you use. when I had it on max, it ran for probably 6 hours til it was down half.

thankfully i haven't needed to run it more then the regular test runs. manual says 8 hours an a 30lb tank so 4 sounds about right. i did stock up on 30lb tanks.

hey John,I have been using this stuff for a while now. I haven';t had gas longer than 3 months in a container and it works fine. the label states that it keep fuel fresh for up to 1 year however I assume it;s the conditions that you keep the gas in.If you have the gas in crazy conditions( hot or cold) i doubt the gas will make it to a year. i would say 6 months is a safe bet.

According to the WestproPower (westinghouse) website: Run-time is 12 hours at 50% load. The gas tank is 6.6 gallons. It does have low oil shutoff.

It runs for damn EVER on a full tank of gas. We run two large TVs, a sound board, fans, and a large PA speaker on it, and we have gone three 4 hour events without yet filling the gas.

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.

I haven't actually used up a large tank yet but I've run the cap fire at 2/3 to 3/4 for 3-4 hours and used maybe a third of the tank. This puts out a lot more heat than most so it'll use up the gas but I've never needed to run it full blast.

I found with mine that it takes a long time when you first start it because there is no gas in the line. Hold it and spark it for 2 min.

I have actually left gas in the generator tank (Generac 5500) for over a year with no problem. The generator has a gas shutoff valve, so I actually shut it off and run the supply line dry (takes about 5 minutes) prior to storing it in my shed for the next emergency event. This clears the carburetor and gas supply line. Hope this helps!
