can you hook this up to a regular propane tank that you would use for a grill? and how long would a tank last in general before needing to be replaced

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.

No. This heater has jets for 'natural gas only'. Look for a model advertised for 'propane' if thats what you need. Propane is more volatile than natural gas and if connected to this heater would result in a very large yellow flame and would be a dangerous thing to do.

I used an extra propane tank that we use for our barbecue, but I am sure you can use those disposable cans, but not sure how long they would last. And you do need an adapter. I also agree with the previous post, this is an amazing gas stove. I used it for 2 months while renovating my kitchen and after I built a cabinet and counter outside for it and I still use it to fry e.g., fish.

about an hour. you'll have to buy a 5 foot hose with a regulator an a propane tank for a grill. the bigger the tank say 100 lb. will last about a week depending on how long you let it heat. one thing it does heat. if you purchase read an understand the instructions.

The regular little 5-10 gallon propane tank for your grill will run this for maybe 1-2 hours before there's insufficient pressure and the heater will safety shut off. I foolishly tried that until I called Hayward and got advised that's like trying to run your truck on a pint glass of beer. But after an hour or two you'll have a propane tank that is frosted quite nicely on the outside because of the laws of thermal dynamics (expanding gases cool)!

we bought a regulator from lowes for a gas grill and just screwed in on. You wouldn't need that if you're installing in an RV or where there's already propane. We were putting ours in a newly built home. Into a countertop. We also had to purchase a hose for connecting it to an exterior propane tank. We love it! It's small and efficient! Fits well in small spaces.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

Lisa ,,, It will take any small standard propane tank. You can also connect a large 20 Gallon tank to it with a hose. I have had mine for a year now and it is working just fine with just basic cleaning now and then. I cook steaks burgers hot dog just fine and have made pan cakes and cooked eggs and bacon on it. No problem starting it with built in starter. Just turn on the gas wait a few seconds and hit the ignition button and it will ignite. you may have to hit the ignition button two or three times at times but that is not a prob. for me.

I don't recall the size of my tank, but it's a full sized tank for your standard gas grill. This hose hooked up in 30 seconds and I've been using for some time without any issues. My gut would say yes as long as it's standard adapter size.

Yes, it can be hooked up to a propane tank you just need an adapter which you should be able to find at Home Depot

If you go to a grill store, or hardware store they will have all fittings needed to accomplish this. If you were trying to hook up to a natural gas line you will need to buy a different regulator that will screw into the hose going to the grill. If you were trying to connect to another propane tank there are houses made that screw into the port of this grill, and on a regular size Propane tank.

This grill uses a regular 20 lb. Propane tank , just turn the tank off and unhook from the grill. If you use the optional kit to use the small green Coleman tanks all you have to do is unscrew the tank off. Just store the rank as you would any tank .The propaine will not come out unless it is hooked up. When you want to use it again just screw it back on...pretty simple . This grill is amazing btw and easy to use and store .Hope this helps you .

The same as a gas grill propane tank, or you can buy the small ones. We prefer the big one so we can run the heater for hours without having to replace the tank.

Brigette, you will need a connector to attach this to the big propane tank. This has the male and female ends of a small propane canister and is in a sense just an extension hose for the small canisters. I use mine for camping and had to buy a tree that hooks to my big tank and then I can use the hose off of that tree.

The manual says to only use the recommended tanks and says that it's not safe to use others. That doesn't mean that you "can't" use another tank with it, but it probably means that it's inadvisable and likely invalidates the warranty. I have not tried to hook anything other than 1-lb. propane tank to it (Ace Hardware brand), so I can't say for sure what is possible. I can only say that I wouldn't try to do it because I'm pretty squeamish about possible leaks using hardware that's no recommended by the manufacturer.

It does not come with a tank. You have 2 options. If you buy the small screw-on tanks, available most anywhere like WalMart etc, everything is ready to attach one of those. I purchased two of those 16.4 oz tanks and after using the grill 3 times for about 25 minutes each, I still am on the first tank. If you want to hook it up to one of those larger propane tanks like those used for the big grills, you'll need to purchase a separate hose for that. I did buy one of those as well, but have not used it yet. One end attaches right to the grill and the other to the 5 gallon propane tank, nothing else needed but the hose itself.

Yes, it works fine. It comes with a (10ft?) hose and regulator that'll work with a grill sized tank.
