Facts. LP will be about 10 minutes faster at cooling startup. The BTU of the 120 element and the LP burner is about identical. The reason LP will be 10 minutes faster at start up, is because the LP flame is hot enough to go up the flue immediately. The 120 element has to reach operating temp and then transfer the heat to the flue tube. That is the 10 minutes. 120 or LP, either one will cool identically. DOUG
