Dennis I am not sure. I live in south east and use it in my unheated 20'x20' garage outside temp 20 to 30 degree weather 20 gallon tank 2 days about 8 to 10 hours. I WOULD HOWEVER SUJEST A 40 GALLON MININIUM. FFJ.

In the booklet it comes with, it says: Input Voltage: 120VAC/60 Hz. Power Consumption at 1.0 min./working: 650 watts/60 watts Im assuming this means its uses 650 watts per minute. It also says it takes 3-5mins to heat up. We just got ours and we live off grid on solar power. I wished I had asked this question before I bought it, because we only have a 300 Watt inverter, so we wont be able to use this. AND, Lava just flowed into my town of Pahoa yesterday, so no more post office service soon. I'd have to drive over an hour to get to a post office and return it, so I might just keep it, and save up for a bigger inverter. I just called Purple Cows and, after being on hold for a minute, I was asked to leave a message and told that someone would call me back. That was at 12:23 I got a call back at

It uses a 1 pound can of propane OR- I use a propane tree and a 20 pound bulk propane bottle (that a grill bottle)

The patio heater does have a dial which is the same dial you turn to ignite the burner that allows adjustment of the amount of propane coming out of the line but it acts more like low or high rather than an exact dialed in amount. Hope that helps.

I have not timed it but it probably depends on the flame setting. I think I heard it goes an average of about 1 hour, but I have not yet used a full canister.

Well I'm not sure I can give a accurate answer at this point. We have only used one can. I would guess we filled two torches three times with one bottle, and they burned 45 min. each.

There are 90,000 BTU's in a gallon of propane gas so it will burn for 9 hours on a gallon on high setting. I returned these heaters as they did not have a thermostat control, just a heat control, low medium high. Be sure you get a heater with a thermostat not a heat setting.

The cost to operate is 3 cents per hour with flame only and 8 cents per hour with flame and heat. It heats FAST [and I'm not kidding!] plus an added advantage is the outside of the unit never gets hot, so you can touch it and not worry about getting burned. We love ours!

Not much. You do smell the propane but it's not excessive. I love the product. Very warm. Use the fan while in the tent. Not practical for outside the tent use unless sitting right next to it.

I'm not sure exactly but I have used mine for several hours and still have almost a full tank.

We use our Fire Dancer occasionally and we also use the same tank for our grill. We have run it for 2-3 hours probably 3 times. We still have not run out of propane. It puts off some heat but it's not the same as having a regular fire pit with wood. Still it works for us and we don't smell like smoke after. We even use ours to roast marshmallows. Hope this helps.

400 watts is about right. it takes a while to come up to full temp but you can use the propane to speed up the process. I leave mine on full time. always have hot water.

Wow! Way over my head with that one! Never owned a propane- fueled vehicle, so put me down as a "Don't Know". Good luck.

Total time from the 14oz bottle of propane is approx. 1 1/2 hours. Cooking time depends much on how long it takes to warm up the grill, what foods you are cooking, (how long it takes a particular steak, burger etc.) to cook. Hope this helps.

The burn rate is 43,900 btu's per hour or 5.1 lbs. of fuel per hour. The performance of your Pellet Stove Room Heater can be affected by the type of pellet fuel you choose to burn in it. It is important to use only pellet fuel that is dry and free from dirt or other impurities.

It's about #100 or a bit over 25 gallons of propane. The capacity differs depending on your altitude (atmospheric pressure) so these numbers could be a little bit off.
