How long can the flame burn on a "full tank" of butane?

I don't have an exact answer, but enough to cook whatever you're doing. I was surprised how quickly it filled, and how how quickly I had to re-fill it. So it's not a lot, but enough for any recipe you're doing (unless you're catering and have to finish 1000 plates at once). If I had to guess...a few minutes of constant flame.

The output is variable so it really depends upon how much vapor you have coming out of the unit. A full tank can easily last a full day and night.

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.

The time the fuel will last will depend on the heat of the flame. As I mentioned before I have a bad experienced with these stoves on low. I go though about a can over 5 hours of using the stove.

yes, you can adjust the flame by using the amount of propane. I love this thing. I bought a 5 lb tank and wish I had gotten a 10 lb. tank to use with it

Depend on the settings, low medium or high, this heater uses two 1 pound profane tanks or the optional 20 pound propane if you purchase the hose, on low setting it will give you 12 hours and 2 hours on high with the 20 lb propane it will give you over 20 hours on high setting

The burner is not a throw away item. It uses standard propane tanks as the energy source. You can easily adjust the intensity of the flame. There is no smoke or ash to be concerned with. When you are finished using it, just turn it off. It is wonderful not having to be concerned about firewood. The reference to 16-20 hours is in relationship to a 20 pound LP tank. Not very often you would want a fire going for that period of time. The Campfire in a Can can be turn on/off instantly. Safer, cleaner, and legal to use in most dry areas.

I'm guessing you're asking how long a canister will last? It depends, of course, on how high you keep your flame. I found that it EATS gas if I try to heat a normal weight spaghetti pot full of water. I now make sure that I heat water such as that in a camping (light weight) pot. With "regular cooking", a canister will last me between two and three weeks at home. Some nights I don't use it at all. Other nights I use it for between a half hour and an hour. One canister definitely lasts me through a three-day camping trip (but I always bring an extra one in reserve). Note that you can't use a wide pot or fry pan on most of the portable stoves. That's because it would overhang the canister and overheat it. You can imagine the result.

I apologize but I have to ask the obvious just to rule it out - did you refill the tank completely and did you use the same brand of butane? I had a lot of trouble with my torch when I switched butane brands without first draining my tank. If so, I recommend contacting Blazer through their website. They are quick to respond and very helpful.

2.5 minutes for stainless steel 16 oz. Coleman Cup; learn to cook quick meals and then immediately eat turning burner off when not cooking. You can get 3-4 hours burn time per can. What hurts how long a bottle last is when you leave burner on to keep something warm. On occasion I have had these last a full seven days three hot meals each day and hot beverages. I carry a alcohol burner to use when I want to keep something warm...mine is a camping unit with pot rack and made of stainless steel. The outside looks like new the day I bought it...the inside show use...in a pinch the alcohol burner can cook a meal if needed, carry it for backup just in case. Butane I think burns about 375 degrees and alcohol burns at almost 1,000 degree [don't know if that is accurate but works for me].

DS, I typically cook mine for about six hours by adding additional charcoal. An easy process since the heat source is on the outside. But, to answer your question, a full tray of charcoal should give you 4+ hours of heat.

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

45 hours with full tank. 7 3/4" Base. 12" high. 5/8" wick. According to the manual shipped with the lantern it will burn "common lamp oil", clear citronella and K-1 kerosene. (kerosene smells bad). Clear lamp oil is your best bet.

While I don't believe it would be dangerous, this torch is designed for MAPP and propane. If you used isobutane, which has an extra carbon in its chemical formula, you might get a flame temp not as hot as you were expecting. The reason is the orifice is designed to admit enough air to burn a 3-carbon gas like propane. A 4-carbon chain requires more air on a proportional basis. I would try it and see what you get, but only if the butane tank access fits the torch. If you get any trace of yellow in the flame, not enough air is being admitted to completely burn the butane. As such, the flame will have a lower temperature, and could even deposit soot on your work. If no yellow, you still may not be out of trouble. Butane liquid "boils"in the tank at a higher temperature than propane. So during prolonged use of butane fuel at maximum flow rate for the torch, the flame may eventually go to a lower level, unless you were to supply warmth (ungloved hands, warm water) to the butane tank.

The Patio Flame is 60,000 btu's, so you will get about 7 hours of burn time running on high

A fire wouldn't last long with a 1 lb canister. And you'd need a hose to connect to it so the propane isn't right next to the fire! Yikes! We use the 20 lb. tank with a hose connected to the fire pit. It lasts several nights. So handy to have where wood fires are not allowed.

Depending on how high the flame is set, at least 3,4 hours, never really timed it...
