Portable fire pit propane usage & models
Any suggestions for a portable propane campfire? Also, how much propane would I use per hour for a small one (like Little Red Campfire or Heininger 5995. I don't want to deplete the tanks...

Outland from Costco Canada as well. had to switch to propane when the wife's asthma flared up a few years ago. Had one for most of three years now and would not go back.
Had it fired up for most of the rainy August long weekend. Running on low for two full days (noonish to late) killed a 20 lb bottle. As I said in an earlier email 20,000 btu = 1 lb roughly of consumption per hour. So, running a 35,000 btu unit on high will kill a 20 pounder in short order.
Whatever you get, think about some kind of container for it as the lava rock will shake out as most are open bottomed and might create a mess. I am getting a friend to make up a draw string bag to stick the whole thing in.
