In general, how long does a canister of propane last.
1690574
I have been able to get 2.5 to 3 hours on each can, I only turn it up about half way.

I've never used a whole canister in one stretch but I think you can get about 45 mins from one of the butane canisters. I guess that would also vary a bit depending on how high you had the burner turned up.

It really depends how much you use it so I'm afraid I can't answer for you. We have it on a boat, which means it's only used sparodically. At this rate it lasts for a whole season. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

sorry but it was a gift so I don't know. I can tell you my friend does catering and hers last threw the whole event, which is a few hours. Google it, you will definitely find an answer that way

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.

Propane gas grilling, using propane gas tanks or canisters, is an outdoor activity, and is not something to try indoors. Although some people have used propane grills in their kitchens and garages, this is not advisable. The ideal location for grilling is outdoors in a well-ventilated area such as a patio, driveway or similar areas that are open to the fresh air and away from a building or any other flammable material.There have been several news reports over the past few years in which people had burned their homes down, or died by suffocation, when using an un-vented, or improperly vented, propane cooking or heating devices.

I read that the shelf life is 1 year after the time of manufacture. There should be a "Best By" date stamped on the canister.

The small 16 OZ. canister or with the spacial hose it will take the standard propane tank.

Honestly, I've never used the canisters. I've only used the 20 lb. tank. There is a smaller tank and I think it's a 5 lb. tank that I intend on purchasing. One of the two tanks I just mentioned will be your best out. They can be refilled. The small canister are a waste. I've seen them used and they don't last long at all. They will frost up when they get to a certain level and no longer puts the propane through and the heater is useless. So just get the 5 or 20 lb. tank and you will be happy.

All the canister portable/disposable propane bottles fit inside. Additionally you can get an adapter cable that connects to a 20lb propane tank - there is a grommeted hold in the bottom that the hose can feed through. Most I talked to, including me, have purchased the 20lb tank to portable canister adapter to re-fill the portable canisters. A canister seems to lasts a couple of full evenings.

a bottle of fuel would last at least 2 weeks used every single day but probly more like 4 weeks. not expensive for fual and flint man ronsonol fuel is cheap and good and flint is cheap too...i have this thing and love it to death in the winter...if you want to save fuel what i do when its not in use is pop the element off and put saran wrap over the top of vent and rubberband it so the gas doesnt evaporate out.

They seem to last quite a while. I us ours every weekend sometimes 6 day weekends. I have gone thru 4 cans since the middle of May. I make coffee and breakfast with the stove and occasionally other meals. Love the stove love the Butane.

I purchased my propane frig this past year and used it for 3 four day weekends and a two week camping trip and have not yet run out the 25lb tank figure a total of three weeks+. I have been told that it would last a little over a month of camping with the 25lb tank. I would guess you would get about six to eight weeks roughly with a 35lb tank. Please note the unit runs coldest when it is on propane, there is no temperature setting for propane, so if you put vegies in it they will freeze over a few days. Lastly if the unit is "not level" then it will run less efficiently. Hope this helps.

Officially there is expiration of butane. Butane is a gas, or if compressed enough, a liquid. As such is does not expire. It is a volatile gas, and while it can be used in food products or food services, it is not a food or food product. This means that it doesn't need or require a expiration date from the FDA. In the end to summarize, it doesn't have an expiration date, and doesn't need one. It will be usable for years, and decades. I have had butane for over 8 years, and it still works every time.

Don't know specifically, but they last a long time, we use ours every day and only change the canister maybe once a month or so.

The time a tank of propane will last depends on if you run it on low medium are high.... If you run it on low none stop a tank will last about 20hrs on medium none stop about 12hrs on high none stop a tank will normally last about 8 to 10hrs max..... I use mine out in my shop and it puts of great heat even on low so I would think it would work for a green house.

if you were to cook on high every-time you cooked you would get six uses. One full propane tank would typically last me a 3 night, 2 day camping trip. I would usually use it to boil water for coffee, fry eggs, and cook bacon in the morning, and heat the baked beans until they are nice and hot for dinner.

The propane tank lasts for quite a while. We got our outdoor fireplace at Christmas and use it occasionally. We still have a mostly full tank of gas.

I've used kerosene that was stored in a shed for about 15 years in a 5 gal container (full with no air) with no issues whatsoever.

I don't think so because of size of the end of the propane interconnect hose. This unit does use a fair amount of propane when in use and I wouldn't think the small bottles would last very long.
