How many hours will a 1 lb container of propane last in a 10,000 btu heater?

Question

Assuming the heater runs at maximum capacity (10,000 btus).

Is there any conversion available that I can do other calculations(e.g. ho long 20 lbs of propane will last for a 30,000 btu heater)

Hope this makes sense! Tahnks for your help!

Answer 1

Propane has a BTU Rating of about 15,000 per pound. Most propane cylinders are either 16.4oz or 14.0 oz, meaning that, approximately speaking, you will go through a cylinder in 75-90 minutes. This is if the heater is in the full on position, consuming all 10,000 BTU's per hour.

Answer 2

I would guess a 2 or 3 hours.

Answer 3

I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
