Can this heater be used with a 20lb propane tank?

I had to return this heater. I bought it to put in a 28 foot camper and could not find someone to install it for me. They said this heater is dangerous and works really well at first but then fills up with dust and dirt because of the lack of ventilation. I do believe that it had to have a bigger propane tank, something like 100 lbs because of the pressure.

I use it with a 5lb cylinder connected to a single burner Coleman stove. No regulator and it works fine. Presumably it would work with a 20lb cylinder, but you might want to confirm with Coleman.

yes you can operate it from a 20 pound or a 30 pounds or even larger but you need to order the hose and regulator that they sell with the Mr buddy heater you can order the hose and regulator separate just be aware that this heater depending on how cold it is will use up a 20 pound tank within 4 days if it is cold outside I put mine on a large tank with a regulator remember you definitely need the regulator if the tank does not have one hope this helped you

Yes, I use it with a 20lb propane tank, the same as used for a propane grill. You will need to buy a hose that has the correct connection for the stove, and and adapter to connect the hose to the tank.

It is 29 inches tall, and yes, it uses a regular 20 lb. propane tank. Very nice, hope this helps.

Yes, it works perfectly if you are planning to to use a 20 lbs tank. The construction of the hose is solid and the adaptor mates perfectly to the grill. Enjoy.

Yes it can. The 20 lb tank simply needs to be adequately full. The fuller it is the quicker it will fill the 1 lb cylinder. I would recommend trying to use a 20 lb tank at half full or more just to speed things up. It's important to follow the directions regarding temperature or you will have issues no matter how much you have in the tank since you must have the pressure difference to work well.

I just took the 20# tank off my BBQ pit and hooked it right up. Don't see why you couldn't use a larger tank cause I think they would be the same pressure.

You would need an adapter to match the 20 lb. threads. It would work but is the most expensive way to heat. Consider a 10 lb tank.

The valve on this tank is identical to a 20 lb propane tank typically used with gas grills - right hand thread. I think the other end of your connector hose would need to connect to a "POL fitting with a left hand thread".

A fire wouldn't last long with a 1 lb canister. And you'd need a hose to connect to it so the propane isn't right next to the fire! Yikes! We use the 20 lb. tank with a hose connected to the fire pit. It lasts several nights. So handy to have where wood fires are not allowed.

No you can not use a 20lb tank. We live in a condo and we love it. A one pound tank works great for us.

Not sure. I never used the heater. It was for a just in case situation. I do think the answer depends on what size propane bottle you hook it up to though

I bought one and looked into that. Yes, with an accessory feed line and a conversion adapter to go to the canister connection you can fed it with a 20 lb tank. They even have a grommeted opening at the base that loos like it was made to feed that line into it. But the option I chose was to get a canister refill adapter and just refill the small canisters from my 20 lb tank. That way the heater is still fully portable and I have that endless supply of fuel from the 20lb tank. the line was $20 and the adapter was $8.

I only use the 20lb tanks and never the 1lb ones. Just get a hose...I think mine I is 12ft from mr. Heater. It works great and am on my 3rd year with the heater.

Absolutely. I use mine with a 20 lb. tank at home and the smaller portable tanks when I'm camping. Works great either /both ways.

Absolutely, as long as you have the correct adapter. I got a small aluminum 10 lb cylinder to use with it. Light weight and it runs for a long time. Best heater I ever bought, just sips propane.
