can I use a 16 gallon propane tank instead of 20? Will I blow myself up??

I would say as long as the connections are correct there shouldn't be a problem.

As long as the connecting fitting is the same you shouldn't have any problem.

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

I have no clue..we just use the normal gas tank. I'm sure you probably could tho.

Yes, this burner is ships set up to use a 20# propane tank. Due to the high output, something like ~210,000 BTU it does use propane quite quickly and can empty a full tank (running wide open) in the matter of an hour or two. I use mine for home brewing and love it. it takes about 2/3 of a tank to brew a 6 gallon batch. I also recommend you make a windscreen for the base out of sheet metal to increase efficiency.

The 20lb cylinder fits the unit You could use any size tank but you would have to alter the length of the hose. This would also limit moving the unit.

Yes. I have a smaller tank which I use for picnics which is easier to handle instead of the 20lb. tank which I use mainly home. You just have to ensure that both have the same hose connection.

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.

Yes it can. The 20 lb tank simply needs to be adequately full. The fuller it is the quicker it will fill the 1 lb cylinder. I would recommend trying to use a 20 lb tank at half full or more just to speed things up. It's important to follow the directions regarding temperature or you will have issues no matter how much you have in the tank since you must have the pressure difference to work well.

I am hoping you are not thinking of hitching this up to the natural gas supply in your house. I can't imagine you not blowing yourself up if you do. I would seek the advice of a certified plumber but my initial reaction is that the pressure of gas coming into your house from the street is far greater than what this unit can handle. If you mean gas from a large outside propane unit, that is probably doable, but again I would seek the advice of a professional. Gas is one thing I wouldn't fool around with.

I can never go above 2. Living in a RV and limited to 400 SQ ft, 5 would run me out besides using to much gas for no reason. A 25 lb TANK WOULD LAST ME FOR SEVERAL MONTHS as many in this park are using.

I checked my manual. It specifies using a 16.4 ounce disposable propane cylinder. There is no mention anywhere of whether a larger propane tank can be used. It does say not to change the regulator assembly and I'm thinking to use the larger tank you might have to. I would say no to that. And the smaller cylinder lasts quite awhile so I'm not sure why you would want to .

you can cook aprox. 1,5 h - 2.0 h on high heat with the 14oz portable propane canister. yes, you can connect it to a bigger LP tank, 5lb or more including 20 lb tank. all you need is an adapter hose like "Weber 6501 6' Adapter Hose For Weber Q Series & Gas Go-Anywhere" - http://www.amazon.com/Weber-6501-Adapter-Hose-Go-Anywhere/dp/B0012XXD4Y- - or something similar. happy grilling!

Sorry, I'm using a regular 20lb tank and I have yet to run out. I've had it for quite a while.

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.

yes you can operate it from a 20 pound or a 30 pounds or even larger but you need to order the hose and regulator that they sell with the Mr buddy heater you can order the hose and regulator separate just be aware that this heater depending on how cold it is will use up a 20 pound tank within 4 days if it is cold outside I put mine on a large tank with a regulator remember you definitely need the regulator if the tank does not have one hope this helped you

You can get a big propane tank if you buy the hose/adapter for it as well. Otherwise, it will hold a small tank, sorry, I don't know the size of the small tanks, but you can get them at Home Depot in a 2 pack.
