How long does the butane cylinder last?

This is tough to answer. Depends how high a heat, how long you cook and if there is much wind. I have used it at my rv site and cooked several meals and am still on the first tank. I use the case to help block the wind. I really like this item and would not be without it in my RV.

I am not sure, because I only use my Gas One when the electricity goes off.

Don't know for sure, I fried up a batch of potatoes and onions (twice) as well as some walleye fillets and chicken wings (sever batches) and there seems to be plenty of fuel left in the cannister. Bottom line..... one fuel can will go a long way. I plan to take two with me for a week of shore lunches in Canada in June and that should be more than enough.

Wow..., what a question! Probably 10-20 years if you never use it. One hour at full blast.

I often use the table's tank as a back up when my bbq tank runs out so not not really sure, Sorry don't have a firm answer for you, seems to last a fair amount of time. btw, the table is extremely well made and thought, I'm very happy with it, that said, even on it's highest setting it does not generate that much heat, it's more atmospher then heater. This due to the large perimeter around the flame, the bonus side of which makes it possible to actually have plates and drinks on the table when the flame is on.. best, Michael

I use mine twice daily and its life span runs generally for 18 months to two years (So that's about 1100-1500 uses.) I've heard small appliances like these don't have a long life span. But I LOVE my hotshot and have used them over 20 years (replacing as needed).

Long time so far. I am sure it depends on how often you open and close the valve. Standby mine have lasted 6 mo. so far.

It last between 5 and 10 min. Tank is small. It is however handheld so can't expect a lot.

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.

One person wrote that their batteries lasted for 24 days having the candle operating 24/7 before having to replace them. On a timer of course,you will probably get two/three months of battery use.

I believe 90 days. I have had mine for over a year and it is running strong. Have had no problems with it. Knock on Wood.

Not very long. Problem is this tank is only good for 2 years. Ive had 3 of them and something broke on them every two years and had to be replaced.

12 fl. oz. will last you only 12 to 14 days at 12 hrs. use. This is not suitable for everyday use because you will get burned with fuel cost and not to mention the flint.

Mine that came yesterday had butane already filled. How did I know I tried to fill it and found very quickly it was already filled. This should be made clear in the specifications.

Though most qualities of butane will work with this unit, I believe you will get a longer useful life from this torch by using a cleaner, refined butane. I noticed some clogging on mine from using a standard quality butane at times.

Probably only about 2 hours or so. Full on is extreme heat and a ton of flame. At 500,000 BTUs it is, at maximum output, 10 times more than your average grill on high.

I have used mine up to 30 minutes and it still can go, but my arm gets tired about then and I quit and put it back on its charger. I love it. Much better than my corded one with no limited range. And better than the gas driven one that I've had that kept leaking gasoline. That thing scared me and was a pain to crank too.

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].

I like using a premium butane that has 0 impurities 5X refined leaves no after taste. Pick up a small can for these lighters wont last very long.

Mine lasted about 3 months. I uses it 2-3 times per week. It really goes a long way.
