20 lb. 'cylinder' (MHs have tanks) is 4.7 gallons

91,000 btus per gallon.......427,700 btus per 20 lb cylinder

Fridge roughly 1200 btu/hr
Stove top burner roughly 4-6,000 btu/hr per burner
Oven roughly 6-8000 btu/hr
water heater roughly 10,000 btu/hr

We typically would go 6 weeks on 30 lb. cylinder with normal usage full time travel
