I tried googling it but I couldn't come up with anything. How many hours so you guys think I'll get out of a regular BBQ sized propane tank at 60,0000 BTUs?
 
there's alot of factors we are playing with here

Whatare you using it for

How hard are you running it?

what size is the burner you are using (they have a btu/hour somewhere in specs)
 
It depends. Are you planning on running it at full blast during the entire process? I doubt that you will unless you want some scorched wort and big boil-off.
 
About 97K BTU/hr per gallon propane. Like others said, it depends on how high you run it and for how long.
