Can anyone tell me the BTU's and the time to heat 600 gal from ambient temp of 55 to 104?

Hope this helps, we use this on a 4000 gal pool and I get 1 degree and hour, so I would say 5-6 degrees an hour roughly

We heat a 400 gal hot tub from 70 to 100 in about 3 hours. Hope that helps. Unsure of BTUs.

I dont know the BTU s but it heats up my 400 gal spa in about 45 minutes to an hour. It works great for me. Mine is on a timer and comes on each am at 6:00.

Not sure of the btu's but it heats my 500 gallon hot tub from 55 to 104 in about 3 hours

I am guessing, but less than 1 degree F per hour. I get about 6 degrees per hour for a 1200-1500 gal pool.Good luck.

i would get a 300 W heater for a 55 gal. I believe the general rule is 5 W per gallon of water. 200W isn't quite enough.

How many gallons are you going to heat? What is the night time temp?The gas line connection is 1/2". I reduced down to 3/8" with 10 feet of line and a high demand regulator (140k btu) on a 100lb tank. Got everything at Tractor Supply. At first I used this on a 600gal Intex kiddy pool. When the outside temp was below 40f it took about 30 mins to go from 70f to 104f water temp . One 20lb tank would freeze up when I tried. I found a 100lb tank works way better.

No, absolutely not. You need stupid heat for proper wok cooking. 60,000 btus is about the minimum for most Asian restaurants but you may get away with 30000-40000 if you aren't cooking for many. Either way 10000 btu is a long way short.

On high I believe it's 1500 Btu's and 750 Btu's on low. It has a fan that blows out the air pretty well. There is a thermostat on it so it shuts off when the room is at the desired temperature. We loved it so much this was the 2nd one we bought and the 2 of them heat our 1000 sq.ft. mobile home.

I have this chiller cooling a 55g reef with a 30g sump. I run 2 150w metal halides and it keeps the tank within a two degree swing between 76-78 degrees. Before I added I was creeping over 80-81 with fans blowing on the water surface.

I was using a 6500 BTU unit for a meat cooler long before I heard of the CoolBot system. When I bought the CoolBot I figured I had nothing to loose by hooking up the old 6500 AC. They recommended a 12-12,500 BTU unit for my size cooler. The smaller unit froze up. It just wasn't enough to handle the colder temps.Go to their website. They tell you the capacity you need, and also the brand and models to avoid. I was about to order a 12,200 BTU unit when I read their data again and they said never to buy that model. It was not sufficient and would not work. I followed their brand rec. and my unit works like a charm. There is about 4-5 years of customer info on the website.

165,000 BTU for this unit. Im not sure where brian is getting his info but you need to know the unit BTU output to figure out the pipe size and so on. Were you able to hook your unit up? If so what size tank did you use? How long does the tank last?

I have mine running in a 49 gallon tank with 15 gallon sump cooling to 70 degrees. It cycles on about half of the time when the room temp goes above 70. I'd imagine it would need to run a lot more to cool to 65. Might make sense to go with the 1/6.

Dear J. Drinkwater, The BTU's of the 280KK is 50,000. Please let us know if we can be of any other assistance. TheBBQDepot

I have this unit and had the same concern when I read other reviews. For my camping uses, 7000 BTUs is more than sufficient for boiling water and all other cooking purposes at lower altitudes. It would probably not be adequate at altitudes above 1mi. Lower temperature conserves fuel and is less likely to cause accidental burns. Unit cools quickly after use for storage. I'm glad I bought this one.

I started with a standard 60,0000 btu burner, but found that it took a long time to get to temp on a 10gal batch. I recommend a banjo burner. 240,000btu. It was easy to keep a boil and bring to temp in half the time also it uses less fuel. Hope this answers your question.

I have a 225 gallon tank and I run two 150 watt one on each side and my temp. Stay. At 76

I believe it's rated for 480,000 btu, so it would be 93,000 btu/gallon...so a little over 5 gallons an hour if it's on 100% of the time. Heating our hot tub it takes about 20 minutes to bring it to temp of 101, then it cycles on and off.

Sorry, I don't know the official BTU rating of this butane burner I bought from Amazon..I do know that above 32F temp it works fine and will make bacon or sausage dance in the skillet in just a couple minutes...Below freezing ambient temps the butane will not get up to cooking temp and may not even flow thru the burner..So if you are a winter hiker or cooker you need to consider a fuel blend or a straight propane unit...I don't camp anymore so my use is backyard cooking which the butane unit does a great fast job..Nuff said!!!!!!!!

Hello there! This heater is a 1500W model and therefore, it is about 5000 BTU/hr.
