How long does a Big Buddy Propane Heater last?
With the 2 little propane tanks installed and heat setting on low of 4000 btu? How many hours will it run? Thanks..

5 minutes until someone asks to borrow it.
My experience: One Coleman 16 ounce bottle on low -- 4-5 hours. On medium, 2-3 hours. On high, both bottles get gone in 2-3 hours. On a 20# propane tank on med/high, around 40 hours.
Yesterday, I went on a trip with my TT to drop it off at a spot I'm dry camping on weekends. As soon as I found that the furnace cracked off, started burning dust and making warm air, the Big Buddy went to a friend tent camping. If given a safe RV furnace that exhausts combustion products to the outside versus having to vent and make sure the heater is in a fire-resistant spot, I'll take the added propane use of the RV furnace for safety reasons.
