BTU's

There are 91,504 BTU's in a gallon of propane. If you have a 30 Lb tank, thats around 7 gallons or 640,528 BTU of heat per bottle. Now if you have a 35,000 BTU furnace, (Typical) you can run it about 18.3 hours, continously. If you have a 6000 BTU Cat heater, you can run it 106 hours per bottle. Your mileage may vary, for obvious reasons.
