Does this work out of the box with 1 lb propane canisters, or does it have to be connected to a 20 lb tank?

As others have said, You'd have to get the big tank. It comes with a hose & regulator(which is necessary), which will only connect to the big tank. I've seen emergency adapters that will allow you to connect the regulator to a canister but, this campfire would go through a canister way too fast. You wouldn't be happy.

It only has the connector for the 20lb tank. You'd have to buy an adapter to use a 1lb tank. But as others have said, it wouldn't last very long. We bought this last year because of the fire bans they had, absolutely love it. Gave us a nice fire to look at and puts out an amazing amount of heat.

I purchased this last minute and took it up to a lakehouse i rented with my friends. i brought a 1 lb coleman canister and an adapter that I had lying around for BBQ emergencies. IT worked great! for 20 mins. (sad trombone) The pressure and gas isn't enough for a strong flame. It had a weak flame for another 10 minutes and petered out. All the reviews are correct. This is a guzzler. Next time I'll bring my 25 lb tank.

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.

You may use the small one pound cylinder by screwing it into the fitting one th right side of the grill. I prefer to use the adapter to attach a larger propane bottle. I also have a five foot long propane hose to run from the grill to five gallon tank. You may need an adapter on the tank side also. The grill works great and I use it a lot at home and camping.

The one pound disposable canisters are expensive by volume, and wasteful in general. I picked up a 4 foot adapter hose and bought a 5 and 11 pound refillable container. You can use the regular 20 pounders, but the little guys are easier if my wife wants to lug one around. We use it to grill on the patio quite often, and that 11 pound tank lasts most of the summer.

Lisa ,,, It will take any small standard propane tank. You can also connect a large 20 Gallon tank to it with a hose. I have had mine for a year now and it is working just fine with just basic cleaning now and then. I cook steaks burgers hot dog just fine and have made pan cakes and cooked eggs and bacon on it. No problem starting it with built in starter. Just turn on the gas wait a few seconds and hit the ignition button and it will ignite. you may have to hit the ignition button two or three times at times but that is not a prob. for me.

Christian, This heater is the very best we've owned, but it will not operate on a 20lb. portable tank in my opinion. We had tried a 40lb. tank from the local propane dealer many years ago with a different heater and it worked, but not well.....took an entire day to heat the pool and used so much propane [because of the lower pressure of a portable] that it was totally consumed in two days' time. We have a large [permanent] 80lb. unit now like the ones that people use for small home heaters and propane cooking stoves.....one fill lasts almost all Season and the heater runs like a champ.

I actually purchased a Propane Tank Fill Adapter that I use to refill from a 20lb tank.It refills my 1lb tanks in about a min. Then I just go change out my 20lb tank at the local hardware store

I am by no means an expert, but if your stove has a 20lb adapter, this should connect to it and allow the 1lb tank to connect to the other end. I use it to power my Weber 586002 Q 320 Portable 393-Square-Inch 21700-BTU Liquid-Propane Gas Grill (Older Model) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

The directions say it takes 1/2 pound of propane a day to run, so that would be 2 days. However, the connector fits a 20 lb tank not a small can. I haven't tried it yet, but will get the big cylinder when I do.

It is designed to work with a 16.4 oz. propane canister (camping standard). You would have to outfit with a regulator to adapt a propane tank to it.

Yes, it will connect securely to standard propane tanks that you can buy or rent anywhere. I would recommend, however, using the smaller 10 lb tank rather than the 20 lb just to make it easier to carry around. Be careful with this thing; it puts out a formidable flame. You should have a readily available hose or water supply and avoid using around dry brush, etc.

I use a 20 lb cylinder with a connecting hose because it is only used on my patio. If you travel with it a 1 lb canister is much more convenient.

You are not able to do that. You can use 10, 20 or 100 lb tanks only. I wanted to connect it to my 1000 gallon home tank and they (the gas company) said I could not.

Yes, I purchased a 5 foot hose with adapter and connected my stove to a 20lbs. tank with no problems. My family goes camping often and my sister also uses this method for week long camping vacations. The small propane tanks don't last long enough and packing/buying multiples is inconvenient and just not cost effective. The stove performs just fine and the extra length allows me to place the tank a safe distance. I purchased the high pressure adapter hose here on Amazon (Coleman High-Pressure Propane Hose and Adapter). Hope this helps...

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.

If using the 1 lb canister no filter is needed, it will work without a regulator but the regulator allows a lower constant pressure flow which is supposed to be safer.but it will work with a 20 lb bottle without regulator..

The hose is just an extension hose to go from the grill to your propane bottle/tank. The hose adapter will hook up to a normal camping 16.4oz propane cylinder or 20lb tank used with full sized grills. The rolling cart has an area where a 20lb tank can sit - be sure it rests on the ground, not on the stand.
