I'm afraid I don't know. Our unit is used for a parked trailer and shares a 7 gallon propane tank with the furnace and stove. Since I'm not the one living in the trailer I don't have any real sense of how often the tank is filled, how much of the use is the furnace vs. the water heater, etc. I do know that I was worried that it would use the propane a lot faster than the 6 gallon water heater that came with the trailer, but it doesn't seem to.

Sorry no idea. We run off of a 500 gal. tank. Suggest you contactB & S directly- their engineering dept. will be able to answer.

Best info I can give you is a 16hr smoke with both burners on used about 1/4 of a 20lb. Tank

I've never run it long enough to definitively calculate its duration. I also moved the tank when I needed it for my grill. However I can attest that it will burn for many evenings.

This is a crude but effective item. Burners on fully open valves are way hotter than my Viking range which has 18,000 BTU burners. Fully blackened fish fillets, 3/4 in thick, need just 60-90 secs per side. 60 secs on a white hot pan.

The product will burn right around 12 - 13 hours on a tank . I think the tank is 2 or 2 and a half gallons. But good luck being able to stand the fumes that long.

You should not have an issue. Just the shorter burn time the lower capacity tank provides.

I don't know the answer however it heats very quickly on a conventional burner.

The tank is 4gal. If you fill it to the brim. Above the screen. I run this unit every weekend it will hold the fuel. The tank is baffled. Hope this helps.

The rating of the tank, by the manufacturer, should be in the 30-40 gallon range. This info should be on the manufacturer's web site.

I don't know. My husband uses it at work. And the directions say to let it burn out. U can fill it half way and it will burn for only 6 hours

As with any question, depends on the size of flame. We typically have it over 1/2 to 3/4 high level and were very surprised at run time. Nice size flame. I don't have actual hours per tank, but I would estimate maybe 15-20 hours of run time depending on setting. Wide open, maybe 8 hours. Side note. We used the supplied cover that came with unit. Bad idea on a deck in full sun/Chicago. Damaged finish on top wood grain metal surface. Contacted company, no response. Sanded and painted over myself and purchased an nicer cover on line. No issues now. Otherwise, very happy. Many compliments.

We use it to cook lobsters and have probably put 30 lbs of lobsters with it half full of water. Hope that helps. It is very heavy duty and sturdy. Not our first burner but definitely the best so far.

When you get it filled with propane it will hold about 2.25 gallons of propane in the tank. Remember, you only fill it to 75-80% of the tank maximum so slightly over two gallons is about it. Nonetheless, it is very sufficient for most camping needs and the tank is much lighter than steel tanks (about half the weight)
