So I wanted this for some instant heat warm up to about 64* in the shop and then use my Mr B Buddy to maintain since it is indoor space okay with a window cracked for air intake.As in a previous thread Mr Big takes too long to get it up and we are not below frosty yet.
Well Amazon did not have this one listed, went to my BBS and not in stock but could order it and ship to home or closest store.
I went direct to Mr Heater, price was better then the BBS by a couple $ and ships for free to the house ground.

Plus 4600lb of Krups steel in here at night as a heat/cold sink cause it will be out during the day if working in here during the day.
Life isnt bad at moms, just adapt, but then what may I need it for in the future???

I bought 2 new prefilled 20lb tanks and monitored there time on low, 4K BTUs. Mr Heater specs say I should get 110 hours on that setting. I got just less then 60 hours. Then had them refilled at the local place, they fill to full and the internal safety valve prevents anymore from going in.
115 hours aprox on each of them on low of 2 I had filled there.
Then at a gas station and has the AmeriGas exchange bottles, AmeriGas sign ses "net weight 15lbs". Exchange price is $23.00 my fill place is $1.00lb and weighs the bottle b4 so you only pay for what they put in, last bottle had 2lb in it. They have a "buddy" card, every 5th bottle is free, so that comes out to what? $15 or 16$ for the first 4 each if 20lbs in each.

Check with your local gas company. Here ZI can get 20lber filled for 5.00 at 2 places and another it is 6.00. The hardware will fill them amd they weigh them so you pay for what they put in but it is more than at the gas company

LP

I dont understand, here in WI, Metro areas homes have NG piped to them, not LP.
The homes that have LP are rural and out of the pipe line of NG area, and a private supplier for there LP.

If it's in a tank it's LP (propane). If it comes in from the street it's natural gas. If it comes from some other source, change your diet.

I think I might be in a rural area as my nearest neighbor is over a mile away.LOL I heat and cook with LP which I have a 500 gal tank foor. I have an outdoor wood furnace which I heat with in the winter months and it also heats our hot water. I heat my workshop off of this also and it will drive you out if you run the thermostate up on high. What is rally nice about this heat is there are no open flames to worry about. A couple years ago I painted a tractor in Jan when the temp outside was -20 and I run the shop temp up to 90 and held it all night to bake the paint on

Ya I know that!!! I dont think Sawmill did, or has a secret source for LP.
