Do you have to use the entire butane canister each time, or can you use it for 4 hrs on 3 consecutive nights if you change the pad each time?

No, you don't have to use it all at once. And you CAN use one can over the course of multiple nights. I go through ONE butane canister every few weeks sometimes...assuming that I am outside for 1 or 2 hours a time. Short answer, you CAN turn it on and off to save the butane.

You can use it over several days until the canister is gone. Just switch to off. I dont even change the pad every time. When the entire pad is white (from blue) is when you need to change it. This is the only mosquito repellant device I have used that works ... And I have used a lot!!!

Keeping in mind of course that the pad is the smell the buggers don't like, changing it will happen more often. Butane should last a couple of long stents.
1638867
The butane is turned on and off and last for more than one pad. We have also used the pads for more than one time if it was the next night or two.

You can use it as little or as much as needed. I don't change the pad each time, in fact, I've changed butane before I've changed the pad.

I use Robinson Multi-Fill Butane available at Bed Bath & Beyond. There is no refill window of any kind and I have found that the gas leaks out over time so it's best if you only fill the torch with enough butane for each use. Otherwise it's a great product.

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 change the pad every three days. The manufacturer needs to add odor control to the pads.

I think you have the same burner I have and yes you can use any butane gas canister. Mine uses the 8 ounce that I bought from Ace Hardware. Works fine. I think there is an industry standard on the canisters so you can't go wrong.

all depends what u r using it for. My dog needs it on 24/7 so I put pads in it. Normally, no.

I usually put in about 3/4 of an inch and I change it every two to three three days... every day in hot weather. Also, if I know I won't be using it for a couple of days I put it in the refrigerator.

This is variable depending on the model, the temperature in your area, how high you run the heater, and how large the space is you are trying to heat. I own the Big Buddy, which holds two one pound canisters. I use it in my woodworking shop on high until I am comfortable. Then I turn it down. I can get several hours. The two tank system uses both tanks when it's on high, vs. one tank on low.

What they don't tell you is the pad has a limited life. It comes in a 45, 90, or one year life cycle. My unit came with a 45 day pad. I assume the duration is due to the internal battery which is not replacable. A fact they neglict to inform you.

I have changed mine about once every 3 months however I'm using the same fragrance on each pad per fan but I don't run mine every day, probably about 3-4 days a week for about 8hrs each time. If the pad starts getting dirty then change more often because the fan is pulling up air through the bottom and if pad is dirty the fan doesn't work as well. If you are refilling the same fragrance oil onto pad every 15-30 days then you probably will have to change pads during a 90 - 120 day period because after awhile the pad gets sticky. I use pure essential oils since they last longer and have a more pure scent. Love my fans!

The LEDS and batteries are still going strong after 6 weeks of near nightly use. The pads and butane cartridges don't last as long. About 4 hours per pad and 2 pads per cartridge.

That depends on how long you need to use it for each meal. If I use it three times a day for about 10-15 minutes each time, I can get about a week out of the fuel canister. I also use MSR fuel instead of Primus fuel.

It's reusable. Each fuel burns 4-6hrs. I did a lot of research and that's what it says and if you don't use all of it, you can blow it out and reuse later. That's why I bought this stove in a can. Loved the idea. All the others only burn 2hrs, but this one burns 4-6! AND it's reusable!

you don't have to, just get the adopter to use your regular propane tank. We love ours cause my sons really love to bar B Q's and this is the only way we can do it when they can't come home. Easy to pack away and you get the a great bargan. Back to your question yes you have too if you don't get the adopter for the proper amount of gas flow.

There is no adjustment of the heat. Once you fire it up, it is on. One propane canister lasted me 5 days of morning and evening use.

I use it most days.I have discovered that the burning smell comes when the belt slips to the left (because I hop on from the right). It takes quite a few uses before it begins to slip. I then adjust the belt and am good to go again.I have had the machine for a few years now and have adjusted it twice.Just make sure the belt is "true" each time you adjust and it should last a long time.I will say again--I love the small footprint of this machine, but because I use it so much I wish it had more padding.It will last a long time between adjustments if you adjust it right.

Yes I use mine all the time [in winter] indoors. It burns clean, no smell I use mine in a 25' x 35' room that is open to the rest of the house. Buy the butane by the case to get a better price.
