How long can a 1lb propane canister be expected to last while using both burners?

I used 1/5 of a canister for cooking 10 chicken thighs on medium to low heat, boiling 20 oz. water for tea and then boiled another 20 oz of water in the pan for about 5 min. to loosen the stuck on food. So, for our family of 4, I expect to cook 3 - 4 meals per canister.

For the two of us, we usually only go through one bottle on a week long camping trip. We usually cook 2 meals a day on it using a cast iron grill and 2 burners for breakfast and frying pan or pot for stew in the evening. I have a dedicated Coleman single burner stove for heating water for drinks and washing dishes and that makes a difference in how long a bottle lasts for us. Being able to adjust the heat to a lower level and stay there has also helped on gas use over our old stove which was very hard to regulate. Using just one stove for both I'd say a bottle would last us about 3 days.

That will, of course, depend on how high you run them. These burners can be set very low, which is why I bought this stove. All I can offer is that I was replacing a cylinder every few days while camping with my wife in a fashion that avoided prolonged use of the stove. Basically, we would cook breakfast, including pan frying potatoes and peppers. We also boiled a quart of water several times a day for drinks (coffee, cocoa, instant noodles) and to wash dishes. Dinner meals were typically cooked over the fire. My impression is that it runs through about a third more gas than a low-profile 1970's old coleman propane stove that has similar-styled, but lower-BTU burners. If you were going to run it at full blast a lot, I would not use 1 lb containers. Instead I would get a converter hose and use 5, 10 or 20lb refillable bottles.

The platinum that I have I can screw a propane tank on and light my charcoal a small tank of propane lasted me about 3 months and I use my grill a lot luv it

if you were to cook on high every-time you cooked you would get six uses. One full propane tank would typically last me a 3 night, 2 day camping trip. I would usually use it to boil water for coffee, fry eggs, and cook bacon in the morning, and heat the baked beans until they are nice and hot for dinner.

On the high setting it burns about 1 pound per hour. Medium is half of high. Low is half of medium. So two 1-pound tanks will last 2 about hours on high, 4 hours on medium, and 8 hours on low.

I've used mine on a very small portable propane burner and fuel tabs and had no problem with heating and cooking. Just had to watch the heat and make sure to stir because the pans are a little thin and get hot fast. Good set for the price I think.

I am not sure but I use a domestic type 15 lb. (6.8Kg) Propane canister that all stores such as Walmart, Kroger HEB sells for around $17. I have been using them for over one year now and no problems

The burner itself will rust. Just looked at mine, it's been outside unused for 2 years. I suppose you could cover it or oil it if you are not going to use it for a while.

For a Home Rheem RTG 64XLP installation a 100 lb propane tank installation can last up to one year depending on the amount of ussage. (larger tank sizes may be required for industrial heater installations)

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.

I having used it yet but I have used a model much older than this and it works perfectly. I highly doubt you have to have both burners on at the same time. In fact am confident that you don't. Iv cooked on those before and used one at a time and both if needed.

I've used mine on a 2 burner propane stove with no problem. I do stay with it and make sure it doesn't get too hot.

The photo shows a small canister that may last up to 4 hours. You may want to use a 5 gal. propane tank for longer use, but you will need an adapter. Both are available in your hardware store or Home Depot.

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 re-use the metal canisters from Natural Flame, the oblong ones. (says "do not reuse" but that's so you will buy new ones.)

It depends on how much grilling you do and how many people you are grilling for. I have a 2-burner, and it is fine for me.

a 1/2 bbl keg fits easily on this burner. No complaints. Boils 12gal of water pretty fast, about 15-20min

I haven't timed it specifically however it does hold quite a bit of propane. Of course it depends on how many things you have going at once. I seem to remember with my 2 burner grill it was at least 10 min perhaps longer.
