Any indication of the number of BTUs? What is it made of? Metal? Plastic?

I am not finding a BTU listing on my Instructions - Operating Manual. 120 Volt outlet, 1500 Watts. Call Lasko Customer Service at 800-233-0268 and tell them the Model #. Mine is Model # 5624 Silent Room Heater. Hope this helps.

Either 750 or 1500? I gave mine away (I bought two of them) after they blew 1978 California apartment fuses each time they were turned on. You need industrial wires for these guys.

The "heater" is not described in BTUs as the AC is. Other units I have been looking at do use BTUs for the heater. I would need to know how this heater works and it's effectivness in a 400 ft2 room

Big maybe 200,000 btus. I used it to brew beer. It is to big for a 20 gallon kettle

Don't know btu's and not familiar with the unit referred to, but it is a good burner.

The burner won't put out a specified number of BTUs. There are many factors: size of gas line, length of gas line, # of bends in line, pressure. A ROUGH estimate is between. 110K-150K BTU. hope that helps.

Plastic; the only metal was the hose connections. In my opinion it was advertised as being aluminum and actually came in a box labeled as aluminum. Consequently, it was not worth what I paid for it.

I checked. I don't see anything that is made of plastic. It appears that all is metal/stainless steel. Housing and fan for sure. Not 100% sure if there may be some wiring that is coated but that must be hidden and that's just the way it has to be. Also nuts and bolts look like full metal. We have the metal grid racks.

My husband says it gets plenty hot. Hot enough for a good steak. Has no idea of how may BTUs.

IF you find the spec sheet it will tell you the maximum BTU per appliance and the maximum total. As I recall, the max appliance is 90,000 BTU and the total was 200,000 BTU. I don't know why the single appliance limit was so much less than the total. Doesn't make sense. You can download the spec sheet (I didn't save the link).

Not sure how many BTU's it has but I assure you it gets really hot if you turn the gas all the way on. We use a regular propane tank with ours but it works well with the small Coleman type tanks too. We grill steaks or anything else we want with no problem and everything we cook has an excellent grilled flavor.

R. Majewski asked about the BTU rating of this unit. I too would like to know the BTU rating before I buy, but in addition I would like to know what type of burner is installed. Is it cast iron or stainless steel. We live on a salt water canal in Florida and cast iron burners rust out rather quickly because of the high humidity.

Watts are how much power it uses. BTUs are how much heat it puts out. Not the same thing. I'd also like to know but assume it's not great since it's not mentioned. Quality similar models, at only slightly higher cost, can put out 5200 BTUs.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

Usually consider 30 BTUs per square foot. But this is a general rule of thumb and many other things can effect the heat load.

BTU's for this item are 5,118; and will cover 5,000 Square Feet. I got this answer from their Customer Service at 1-888 672-5832.

I have a 30 X 10" and it puts out about 108000 btus with a half inch connection. I have a 3/4" supply line.

I'm sorry, but I cannot remember the BTUs, but I do know that it heated a 12 x 12 room. It wasn't hot, but comfortable. My daughter has it in another city to help her with her electric bill or I would check for you. Hope this helps.....sorry. It is about 20 to 24 inches tall, about 14 to 18 inches wide, and about 24 to 30 inches in length. It has "extras" that add to its appeal. We love it....
