I get 3 or 4. Do keep a backup handy
Am using a turkey fryer burner and am wondering how long will a rank of propane last me?

Wayne1 said:It will depend on where you get the tank filled. The propane tank swap places only give you 15 lbs of propane in a 20 lb tank. If you take it to a facility that fills it for you, you can get a full 20 lbs and at least another brew out of the tank. It might even cost you less for the fill.
Out here, I see the swap tanks range from $16 to $20.00. That is for 15 lbs.
I just got my 20 lb tank filled with 20 lbs for $17.00 and my 40 lb tank filled for $32.00. The propane service I used also offers "buy three 20 lb fills and get the fourth one free". That brings the cost of the 20 lb fills to $12.75.
Only 15 pounds swapping out at Lowes? Crooks!
I have 2 tanks but that is not the point. I want them to be full when I pay for them to be full. That's the problem with this country. Everyone is trying to rip someone off! lol
I have a 20lb tank and I've used it for 5 all-grain brew in a bag batches, plus about half a summer's worth of cooking on the grill. I know some don't like this idea, but I get my hot water on demand from my furnace, so I use hot tap water to start with which is around 120 degrees so I can get a full boil of 7-8 gallons in about 10 minutes. Once I get it boiling, I turn the gas way back and play with the air mixture to the point where I can keep a rolling boil going with all blue flames. I just brewed on Sunday though and I know this was the last batch (the 5th) I will get out of the tank as towards the last 10 minutes of the boil I had the tank wide open and I barely had flames coming out...but it kept a rolling boil, so I got lucky.
I was around 40 minutes for 8 gallons in the wind.
its nice starting from 120 degrees but most likely you only need to go up to 160-170 degrees. I'm more interested in how fast i can get up to a full boil after I"m done sparging though i guess the temp of my wort after the sparge would be above 120. I'd love it if i could go from sparge to full boil in 10 minutes. would help brewday out a lot
