Fuel consumption?How long will it run on a full 20 pounds of propane at the high setting?

My heater is connected to a 300 gallon propane tank so I can't answer your question. My heater is a backup in case an electric heater fails. It has never been used even once.

I get about 5 to 7 days in my R V using it as my only heat source in cold weather upper 20's night to lower 60's day and it is comfortable. We are happy with our Mr. 20,000 here in the SW in our winter home.

This propane heater will consume 2 lbs. of propane per hour while it's producing heat. Depending on the cost of propane in your area would determine the cost to run. There is no electricity required to operate.

Runs on both natural and propane. I am using natural but with simple setting change it can run on propane.

20lbs of pellets is 40 hours of smoking or 20 hours of grilling. Its very comparable to propane.

Generac lists this answer on their website as a spec sheet. As the generator can run on either 20 or 30 lb tanks I'll provide both answers. Luckily I don't have first hand data for this question. 20 lbs = 4.75 hrs @ half load 30 lbs = 7 hrs @ half load You can follow this link and select "Spec Sheet" and get the answer direct from them along with other data. http://www.generac.com/Portables/LPSeries/LP5500/

It only runs on Propane. There are after market conversion kits. I don't know if they'll work on this unit, you'll have to research that. I have 5 20lb propane tanks. It got me through almost 2 weeks of no power during super storm Sandy last year. I went to home depot once for tank exchange.

I have installed both, natural gas as well as propane gas units. It will run on either

It runs for damn EVER on a full tank of gas. We run two large TVs, a sound board, fans, and a large PA speaker on it, and we have gone three 4 hour events without yet filling the gas.

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.

There is no answer in my point of view. Consumption depend of the outside temprature and also don't foget, the more you open the door the more it is going to use propane. May be the manufacturer has some chart of comsumption.

For me the best setting is "Towing and Trailering. Slight increase in HP and increase in MPG. The second setting I think is 80 HP. Faster off the line, but MPG is not as good. The third setting is 140 HP, but is a diesel burning and requires 4" exhaust system. Not worth the expense to me. I have no experience using the I1000 with gas engines.

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

This heater requires at least a 100 pound propane tank for use. It cannot be used with a 20 lb. BBQ tank.

I am not sure. I'm sorry I cannot be much help but I would suggest starting with your propane provider or local plumbing store. you are fortunate to have the big tank to draw on. the little 20 pounders don't last too long and very expensive. good luck in your search!

yes it will heat it but you will burn a heck of a lot of propane in the meantime. its best if you turn it on high for starters and then lower the thermostat down so you can save on propane while maintaining temperatures. quite frankly though I would look for something that will lower your costs.lower your usage costs.
