does this heater use the 16.4 propane oz, bottles

I figured out a way to do it but it it requires sacrificing a propane torch for the bottle fitting and valve...

No 8oz only.They are a special top.If you use the adapter that comes with the heater for propane you need a regulator.

No, it's a smaller can (canister). I believe mine is 7.5 oz. I get them at my local hardware store.

I am not sure. I am using it with the standard butane bottles. They are 8 oz. each. If you use the propane, you use an adapter that fits on the propane.

It's meant to be used with a standard 5gal propane tank, but if you had a converter you could use a small 16.4oz camping tank, although you might run out before your job was done :-) I'm not sure that answered your question, but I tried!

Yes, it uses a normal sized BBQ propane tank. It still doesn't last a super long time, but we are able to get a month or so of very regular use out of it.

Yes. It uses the standard propane tanks that might exchange or refill at your local gas station.

I am not familiar with the Mr. heater, but if your unit takes the 1 pound propane bottle, then this hose will certainly adapt you to the larger tank.

If you have the same quick connect that Mr. Heater uses on there heaters it will work. Your heater should use the same psi as all propane burners and heaters use. If you do not have the same quick connect there are an abundance of connectors out there. Just make sure you buy a hose that is regulated at the tank.

You must either use the small green 16.4 oz. disposable propane bottles or purchase an adapter to connect to a large bottle. I cooked 9 times with my first bottle (10-15 mins ea).

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).

not sure.. I think you have to purchase it with the right nozzles for propane or ng....Since I have propane I made sure it was described as "propane". Maybe you could contact the manufacturer directly? PS this is an excellent h/w heater. I'm very happy with it...

Yes, that will work just fine with the bottles. There are a couple of MSR stove model types that allow for the use of gasoline, though they gunk of the stoves a bit. So they are made to be able to use a couple of different fuel types, diesel as well. Hope that helps.

The heater comes with 2 caps that fit standard 11 oz water bottles. Water bottles come in 2 types of cap threads so you are covered in both cases

I've only used it with the MSR and REI propane cannisters. I don't know about the Coleman Propane bottle.

Yes, you can use any size bottle or canister of propane. It's about how long it will last for what you need it to do. Anyway the answer is yes. BIG BOB out!

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

Yes it is ONLY for a 1lb bottle, NOT a 20lb bottle NOT a 10lb bottle and NOT a 5lb bottle. This heater ONLY works with a 1lb bottle.

I'm not sure, but I think so, probably with an adapter. I've seen other people refill the small 1-lb bottles from a larger tank and use them with a catalytic heater; the reason is to leave the large tank outside and not have it take up so much space inside a small motorhome. They also have a gizmo to refill the small cylinders and reuse them. It would be prohibitively expensive to buy new 1-pound cylinders each time. We had our portable heater plumbed with a quick-disconnect nozzle to feed directly off the motorhome's main built-in propane tank.

Yes, but it costs extra and does not work well. Small flame size and icing up of propane bottle. Also hard to clean. I returned mine to Costco.
