how fast does it burn through a tank?

We hooked it up to our 20lb tank and have used it several times and my husband said we haven't put a dent in it. I love that little fire pit !

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

You can run a nice size flame for about (this is a rough estimate) of 15 hours. We bring one propane tank for a weekend and rarely go through it all. This product is awesome! Camp in Arizona with fire restrictions but with this unit always have a fire.

I would say that at the heighest setting, it would burn about one gallon an hour. I find that I seldom use this setting abd get perhaps 3/4 gallon an hour. It really comes down to what you want, heat or the appearance of a campfire.

I have my tank 8 feet away from the burner, as for the propane consumption a full 20 lb tank lasted me about 9-10 hours

It really depends on the length of the burst that you use. We tend to use a two or three second burst every five minutes, and the tank lasts a LONG time. We have been running it for several hours every other weekend for the past several months, and it's just now below half full...

I let it burn about 45 minutes. Watch it closely during the initial usage as the fuel gets low. I experienced some smoke but after that I had no problem.

I have only used mine for about two hours total so far, for melting lead, and used less than a quater of a 20 pound tank according to my tank scale. So a full tank should last arround 8 hours.

about 1/2 gallon when full, takes about 2 hours to get there then it does pretty good. aint fast for sure

Yes. It will give you hot water faster. But be aware, when your existing hot water reaches the tank, it will be REALLY hot!

Specs say 20 gallons or less. I would say between 10 and 20. Anything less and the tank gets too warm from the device. Definitely a good product though. I gave the 9 watt one in my 20 gallon and it works great. I used it to clean up an algae bloom but the specs say "Kills algae, pathogens and harmful bacteria" which may be why the tabs recommended them.

I would say 1 hour and a half of non stop full throttle at least i ran for about 45 min at times had little over half tank

I have never timed it but, I would guess not more than 5 minutes or so. Of course it depends on the amount of water and how high you set your burner.

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

Even the 10,000 btu Unit says it takes a 100 gallon tank. You'll also need a 3/8 male to 1/2 inch adapter to even connect it with a shutoff valve. If you need a small space heater for bbq tanks, buy a top tank unit. They will burn for about 29 hrs on a tank, but they're also dangerous.

I haven't timed it but I would say they burn at full power for about 90 min, long enough to cook one full meal. I used it to deep fat fry enough fish to feed 6 men on my last camping trip and I had enough fuel left the next morning to almost finish a big breakfast of coffee, bacon, sausage & eggs. I ended up using a second can for about 5-10 min, but I just popped it back out when done and it's stored and ready for my next trip. Unless I'm grilling this is the only stove that I use.

This is based on my Primus two burner camp stove. Boiling 3 qts of water takes 15 min and uses 1.4 oz of propane. The 1 gal tank fill is 4.25 pounds or 68 oz giving 728 full burner minutes. My estimate for cooking dinner for 4 is 40 full burner minutes or about 18 dinners per tank. Breakfast for me is maybe half that and I don't cook lunch so 60 min per day gives me about 12 days. If you cook more, estimate burner minutes per day to figure how long 728 will last. Hope this helps.

I have a 2 1/2 gal tank and prob takes around 5 minutes. I have never timed it though.

It burns until it is out of fluid. It has a little plastic measuring cup with a spout that has 2 lines; I think one says 6 hours and one says 12 hours. You put as much fuel in it as you want. It doesn't burn like a flame, it is supposed to burn like an ember. I haven't perfected it yet, but when I did get it working and it burned for multiple hours, I did like it.

I actually purchased a Propane Tank Fill Adapter that I use to refill from a 20lb tank.It refills my 1lb tanks in about a min. Then I just go change out my 20lb tank at the local hardware store
