On average, what kind of burn time are people getting on a 20 lb. tank of propane?

I don't the account of hours, but we had 5 or 6 parties, ran it the whole time plus other short tunes to do smores with the kids

Hard to answer, if you burn on high probably 6/7 hrs medium to low 10/12. This is on a 20 pound BBQ grill size tank

I don't know the psi, but I use a 20 lb propane bottle that a typical propane grill uses.

Hi, I use 20 lb tanks interchangeable with those used on a gas grill ... so I think that means low pressure.

Christian, This heater is the very best we've owned, but it will not operate on a 20lb. portable tank in my opinion. We had tried a 40lb. tank from the local propane dealer many years ago with a different heater and it worked, but not well.....took an entire day to heat the pool and used so much propane [because of the lower pressure of a portable] that it was totally consumed in two days' time. We have a large [permanent] 80lb. unit now like the ones that people use for small home heaters and propane cooking stoves.....one fill lasts almost all Season and the heater runs like a champ.

I just got done using this stove for weekend of camping (3 days of use) and used about half of a 1 pound tank. I cooked 5 meals with both burners and then heated water for cleaning.

I run my 7500 watt gen set on natural gas. One time I did try using propane just to see how it would work with a 20 pound tank and it seemed to do well. Don't remember what the size of the hose but I think it was 3/8 inch.

Generac lists this answer on their website as a spec sheet. As the generator can run on either 20 or 30 lb tanks I'll provide both answers. Luckily I don't have first hand data for this question.20 lbs = 4.75 hrs @ half load30 lbs = 7 hrs @ half loadYou can follow this link and select "Spec Sheet" and get the answer direct from them along with other data.http://www.generac.com/Portables/LPSeries/LP5500/

Here in Florida we grill quite often and I use one burner as often as I can. Even so, I can generally get through a calendar year on no more than a tank and maybe an additional half.

Yes, this burner is ships set up to use a 20# propane tank. Due to the high output, something like ~210,000 BTU it does use propane quite quickly and can empty a full tank (running wide open) in the matter of an hour or two. I use mine for home brewing and love it. it takes about 2/3 of a tank to brew a 6 gallon batch. I also recommend you make a windscreen for the base out of sheet metal to increase efficiency.

I have had three fires so far lasting about three hours each time and I am about 3/4 full now on 20lb. tank.

I modified mine to run directly off the RV's propane. How long it runs on a 20lb tank would depend greatly on how high you set the flame which is adjustable.

My best answer is I don't know, although there is 5' adaptor hose also available on Amazon that reviewers indicate will connect to a 20lb propane tank. As we bought this to use only when we are Airstreaming, we opted to just use the Coleman canisters you can buy at your local hardware or camping store. We get about 2.5 hours of cook time from one canister. And, we are very pleased with the grill!!

a 20 lb propane tank holds 4.3 gals roughly ...so ....4.3 x 5 = 21 gals roughly

a 20# tank on high has lasted me 6 hours if not on high roughly 11. They say 14 on low but I have never run mine just on low.

Propane contains 91K BTUs per gallon. A 40K BTU heater thus uses about ½ gallon per hour. A 100# tank holds 23 gallons of propane. Thus about 52 hours of heat from a 100# cylinder (versus 10 hours on a 20 pounder). You often get a price break filling a 100# cylinder over the little grilling bottles. There can be pressure fluctuations when tanks get low thus larger tanks are better. Also, use a two-stage regulator for best results (e.g.; search amazon for ASIN B0024E6TX2).
