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
Thanks, thats great info but if my math is right a 20lb tank probably won't last.
14 days is 336 hours, so 336 x 1200 but/hr is 403,200 btus, and thats just the fridge. Am I missing something? When you go 6 weeks on a 30lb tank are you running the fridge full time?
That's btus PER HOUR...........nothing runs continuously
Fridge only uses propane as needed.
