This Mr. Heater model is for Natural Gas only. It's designed to connect to your home's natural gas supply pipes. A plumber can help you install the natural gas connection.

I use Coleman 16.4 oz Propane fuel. But at Chicagland Speedway last year for a NSCAR race WE saw one catch on fire, the green paint bubbled off, the smoke was black, and smelled horrible. If I would have not yelled at the guy using the grill there would have been major problems. He had this grill on a waist high table the flames were so high they almost started his canopy on fire. It would have if we didn't spot it in time.

If you don't have natural gas coming to your home than you will need to exchange the heater for a propane model. If you have natural gas coming through your home through a main gas line in the street you will need to contact a plumber or heating & cooling contractor to make the connection for you. You can contact me for any more questions at gsecher@gmail.com.

I am a Chef. Gas always Gas. If not that then propane. Electric or Induction will never give you total control of the heat.

I do have 2 gas fireplaces, but I did not buy Mr. Heater for that purpose. I bought it to hook up a gas space heater. I am so sorry that I can't help you as I had both of my fireplaces hooked up by professionals.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that. I only bought this stove to use in emergencies after our terrible ice storm in February. I only plan to use the small 1# disposable propane containers. I also bought a propane heater and also plan to use the small propane containers. I did test this stove and the heater, and both started up beautifully. I hope I NEVER have to use either of these products. An ice storm here (South Carolina) is a rare event, but this was a bad one, with power out everywhere, which means: no heat in the house. I never go camping, so I would not be able to answer your question. Sorry. Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that.

Add a fuel stabilizer and leave the gas in it. The amount of gas in the tank dose not matter. I started to use fuel stabilizer years ago and since I have no problems starting seasonal equipment even after months of inactivity. I try to start my generator about once a month to move oil around and lubricate internal engine parts

The conection on this item are incorrect for any gas,it would leak out the side and be very dangerous. Gas is not something that has a flimsy connection.

I have the electric pressure washer and it works just fine. Don't know about gas.

I use the rubber hose to connect my heater from the gas line, however it's all in the same room. I would check about local regulations/homeowner's insurance about going through a wall with a rubber hose. I know running an electrical cord through a wall can void your homeowner's insurance as it's a safety violation; I imagine the same would apply for a gas hose.

I have not had to use this yet in an emergency-the last hurricane fizzled out at sea-but filled it with regular gas (87 octane) as a test and it started on the second pull.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

It is not recommended to connect to natural gas line. You can purchase a conversion hose and hook it up to a 20lb. tank though. It has one burner, but it is a loop burner, so it covers the surface of the grill very well.

Ours is connecting to a propane tank. It runs great on propane. We wanted it off the natural gas grid because of failures last year. How long it will run depends on the size of the tank and the tank needs to be in gallons.

yotomcan run the Westinghouse machine with premium gas but I advise you to useregular especially if the generator has to run more than 3 to 5 days in a hurricane it just makes economical sense to use regular gas

This heater can be used with either natural gas or propane. Follow the instructions in the owners manual. Everything you need should be in the box.
