Will this heater work with a bar-b- que propane tank ?

Yes. The first thing I did was to cannect to a 5gal propane tank and check it out. I used a connection with a regulator and it seems to work fine even with its' own internal regulator. I don't know if it is the proper way to hook it up, but that was just to test it. My normal hookup will be straight from the propane tank in our Coach.

If by "bar-b-que propane tank" you mean a standard 20-pound propane tank, then yes. No problem!

Will work with a bbq tank with the right adapter. check at your local hardware store. You will also need a regulator, also available at your local hardware

Yes this one will. Thats how we use it. The natural gas one that looks like this will NOT

As long as you can get to the tank and lift it straight up I think it should work fine. My tank happens to be in a patio heater and I have to take it out to use this gauge, thats why my tank has a gauge on it. I have used it to make sure the gas vendor has filled the tank. I hope this helps. Chuck

As long as the connector(s) are the same - it should work no problem. I believe propane threading/connectors are universal, so you should be ok. But Im not an expert. The only other caveat is that when using this pit at its highest setting you may go thru the smaller tank quickly. Ive only used my pit for maybe 30 min - 45 min at a time (on my patio) and I switch the tank between this and my grill all the time - so I cannot give accurate info on how long a 5# tank would last at full flame - but I have only refilled my 20# tank twice since I bought this nearly 2 years ago. From a standpoint of quality, its awesome. This thing is a tank and has lasted great so far. As long as the connector(s) are the same - it should work no problem.

It is designed to work with a 16.4 oz. propane canister (camping standard). You would have to outfit with a regulator to adapt a propane tank to it.

Any size propane tank will work, it is just a matter of having the right adapters to connect. My unit had the typical connector you would find on a barbeque grill but I use an adapter for the 1 lb can, available at most hardware stores. Other than that just make sure you hook the hoses up correctly (I had the water in hooked to the water out on the first try).

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.

I can't give you a specific answer other than to confirm that it didn't work for me either. It appears that the standard male connection on a propane appliance (a grill in my case) isn't long enough to mate with the valve in this connector. Sorry I can't be more help, but the issue of various standards for gas connectors is a bit confusing. bac

This heater requires at least a 100 pound propane tank for use. It cannot be used with a 20 lb. BBQ tank.

Bill, I'm not a professional but it will work. Be sure to support the tank properly and you"ll be fine. Best regards, Remy

yes it will the length of the hose is what you need to consider I had to turn my tank outlet towards the hose to accommodate the indicator because the length so the hose should not kink because of the set up under your grill or what ever you have it set up to you should take that into consideration

I have been using one of these on a grill tank at my hunting cabin for a couple of years, and it works well. It fits the internal threads on the tank. I supply a 4 burner cooktop and sometimes a 35,000 btu wall heater with it.

Yes it will. However you might need to alter the "quick connect" end to connect to whatever heater you connect it to.

yes it should work. have 1/3 of the tank heated and ALWAYS have it plugging into a thermostat, that is very very very important. My friends beardy got burnt to death because it wasnt plugged into one :(

Yes, but there is an issue with freezeup after about 45-60 min. I got around it by hooking up 2 (20 lb) tanks up together using an attachment (http://www.propaneproducts.com/catalog/all-mr.-heater-parts-fittings-hoses/mr.-heater-2-tank-hookup-98.html)good luck.

yes but you will need a regulator and a bottle of propane like for a gas grill will only last a very very short time. There are much better heaters available for what you need this heater to do.

Not sure, but if the old one is a low denisty 4500w heater, it will work. These heater rods are universal and will work. The main thing to make sure of is to try and take as much build up at the bottom of the tank so that when you put the new heater rod, it won't be surrounded by build up and overheat and stop working. Look on youtube for how to do it. Good luck!

Yes, proper hookup to any size tank you like. You do need a regulator and you really shouldn't have the tank close to the heater (against code). This little unit really cranks out the heat!
