The 'liquid propane' that is required for this- is a portable propane tank (such as a 20# tank for a grill?) adequate? If so,can you use a 40# tank?

I am using the standard grill tank. I can't see why you couldn't use the 40# tank if the connections matched. The only time you are using propane is when you are using hot water. Depending upon your application a 20# tank might be large enough. It certainly is for me.

You can use any size propane tank. I used a #20 tank for camping because it is a good size easy handling. I had additional hoses attached for use of my camp stove and lantern with no problem.

I just took the 20# tank off my BBQ pit and hooked it right up. Don't see why you couldn't use a larger tank cause I think they would be the same pressure.

Any size propane tank will work, it is just a matter of having the right adapters to connect. My unit had the typical connector you would find on a barbeque grill but I use an adapter for the 1 lb can, available at most hardware stores. Other than that just make sure you hook the hoses up correctly (I had the water in hooked to the water out on the first try).

Yes the 20# tank is adequate and will give you plenty of use before having to be replaced

Uses the same 20 lb tank as any other gas grill. Look up barbecue gas tanks on Amazon.

In principle it should work. .The Propane GasGenie was tested on standard 20lb propane tanks.If you can let me know more about the RV propane tank you are using I will be able to help you better. If you would like to try it I will happily refund your money if you find there is a problem. Regards I believe you will be OK. I suggest that you go ahead and buy one. Bearing in mind my offer of a refund if you are not happy. But when you are on the move it might be an idea to remove it from the tank so the sloshing of the liquid does not confuse the sensors. Then replace it when you are static again.

This heater requires at least a 100 pound propane tank for use. It cannot be used with a 20 lb. BBQ tank.

Both the people I know who actually own this grill have gotten themselves the adapter (with hose) that lets you use refillable "20 pound" (and other sizes) propane tanks. There is plenty of room on the bottom rack for a tank this size. This way only the fairly compact (and flexible) hose is dangling from the connection port behind the timer. (And, by the way, WHY did they make timer only capable of 99 minutes time?)

Yes, it works fine. It comes with a (10ft?) hose and regulator that'll work with a grill sized tank.

You can actually actually get the adapter hose for the grill to 20lb tank anywhere. I bought mine from Walmart. Amazon has them, etc. Just make sure you are getting the hose that goes from a small bottle to normal propane, length as desired. I got a longer one so I could stow the 20lb bottle away.

Yes, you can use any size bottle or canister of propane. It's about how long it will last for what you need it to do. Anyway the answer is yes. BIG BOB out!

I bought this camp chef and then set it in a back yard fire pit that I made from bricks. I ran the hose through a pvc and then to a little shed where I keep the propane tank. it worked out very nice. I went to a shop that recertifies the tanks and makes hoses. they made me a hose the length I needed. that's the way it would go just to be safe. let the pros do it. I would bet there is a similar shop near you somewhere. hope that helped.

Yes - I use the propane tank from my grill. I use this unit to brew beer - it works great.

We used our approximately 5 pound propane bottle with ours. I don't know what size your bottle is but my husband says you can use any size propane bottle with a grill.

If you leave the grill in one place, you can hook up a larger propane tank, I guess they are 20 lb ones, that the typical gas grill uses. I went to Ace with a small bottle and told the guy what I wanted to do, I recall several parts were involved, about $25 expense. But the one tank will light your grill several times a week for many years.

Christian, This heater is the very best we've owned, but it will not operate on a 20lb. portable tank in my opinion. We had tried a 40lb. tank from the local propane dealer many years ago with a different heater and it worked, but not well.....took an entire day to heat the pool and used so much propane [because of the lower pressure of a portable] that it was totally consumed in two days' time. We have a large [permanent] 80lb. unit now like the ones that people use for small home heaters and propane cooking stoves.....one fill lasts almost all Season and the heater runs like a champ.

Well if you are located in the US then your standard BBQ style propane tank is the most common. You can pick them up at most grocery stores/ convenience store. There is only 1 type of propane I know of, LP or Liquid Propane. That's what they fill the bottles with. Go pick one up and you will be fine.

As others have said, You'd have to get the big tank. It comes with a hose & regulator(which is necessary), which will only connect to the big tank. I've seen emergency adapters that will allow you to connect the regulator to a canister but, this campfire would go through a canister way too fast. You wouldn't be happy.

I don't believe so,this particular model is to be used with propane tank. However, you may want to research h NatureI don't think so,this model is to be used with LP tank. However,if you bought this model by mistake,you may look into a conversion kitNatural Gas conversion kit though.

You must buy a portable gas canister or a large (20 lb.) tank which needs a special adaptor. I've only used my Cuisinart one time, but I expect several uses before my small propane canister runs out of fuel.
