Crawfish boil- Propane question

owning two tanks is the way to go.

You dont waste any propane so you're prolly save
money with a two tank system.

eta: the only person who knows how much propane your burner uses is you.

I've got another tank that's easily accessable (it's my buddy's) I just needed to know if I need to make the call. My burner is brand new, so I'm not sure how much propane it's going to use.

Thanks

How much propane am I likely to go through?

Ask Hank Hill at Strickland Propane.

I usually use a tank of propane for every 2 or so sacks of c-fish.

I think your mistaken. You could get 5 sacks easily out of a tank. I think you could do as many as 8.

Depends so much on the burner.

I boil my large pot with a burner that was made from one of those gas hot water heater elements.
It can boil it in a damn hurry, even in the wind, but it absolutely eats propane. I can do about 150 pounds on a tank.

My small burner will last forever. Just one of those run of the mill burners you see everywhere. I would imagine it would go all day if you were patient enough to deal with it.
