Anyone know how long the butane tank lasts on this stove?

We love these burners. Our family loves meat fondue and in the winter we have fondue parties. This burner is so easy to use and works extremely well. We have several of them. The butane canisters last for several sessions of fondue. They are not expensive and last longer than I ever expected.

They seem to last quite a while. I us ours every weekend sometimes 6 day weekends. I have gone thru 4 cans since the middle of May. I make coffee and breakfast with the stove and occasionally other meals. Love the stove love the Butane.

I find they last for several sessions for brewing coffee, frying bacon, etc. Works great as far as I'm concerned.

Not very long. Problem is this tank is only good for 2 years. Ive had 3 of them and something broke on them every two years and had to be replaced.

About 4-6 hours. I usually only place a half bottle so that it burns out rather than leaving unspent fuel in the unit.

First, I have several stoves ranging from 10k to 14k BTUs. It depends on several factors:How hot (BTUs) does your stove run? How high do you set the burner?The average stove range is between 8,000 & 14,000 BTUs. A 14k unit will use up the gas quicker. I get over 2 hrs. burn time with a 10k unit at the highest setting. Remember butane burns hotter than natural gas or propane. I hope I have answered your questions.

It really depends on the type of wood you are using. If you were to purchase the split wood that department stores sell in the fall/winter/christmas time, once you have your fire going the stove itself will hold about 3 14 to 16 inches pieces then it will last you for aprox 4 to 5 hours. the harder the wood the longer the fire.

The canister sold here on Amazon are fine, I would think any brand would be about the same, I hunted for the best price. The canisters are larger than the ones you find for refilling a lighter, and with shipping cost, around 2.00 - 4.00 each. Each canister lasts threw several days. I used mine mailing to heat water and make small meals for one during two week long power outages last fall, and am on my second canister. Butane is hotter than propane, takes a lot less time to boil water, and watch your food close! It will burn quickly! These stoves are great for emergencies, or camping.

I'm not sure for how long, that'd be a better question for the Manufacture to answer. Usual Pellet stove cleaning for me is about 5min of intermittent running.

the pads lasts 2-3 hours each & the butane for 3-4 pads (my best guess) Just used mine this weekend & it was VERY obvious when the pad wore out or the butane was gone as the bugs came in ....sorry I don't have a more exact answer but it was a very active camping music festival weekend and clocks were NOT allowed!

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.

I have not experience any butane leak. I have stored it for weeks, and still butane is full.

I would say a month. We have it at a rental property and it is used almost daily and the tank lasted a month :)

I use my stove quite often and a can typically lasts a couple hours at high flame. I conserve but otherwise boiling a large pot of water is simple and quick with this fuel.

The butane is turned on and off and last for more than one pad. We have also used the pads for more than one time if it was the next night or two.

Just use the felt pouch to pull the burner off, it will go out really quickly. Note that whatever fuel is still in the reservoir will probably evaporate before you use it again. But after some use you can get a good idea of how long a certain amount of fuel will last. It doesn't take much to run for several hours.

Very little, filling this 3-4 times a week a 3.5oz can of butane has lasted me about six months.

Depend on the settings, low medium or high, this heater uses two 1 pound profane tanks or the optional 20 pound propane if you purchase the hose, on low setting it will give you 12 hours and 2 hours on high with the 20 lb propane it will give you over 20 hours on high setting

I believe 4 hours depending on the setting. you are best to get the extra hose to use a 20lb bottle of propane [used for grills]. I have had mine for over a year and am very happy with it.
