Default I need grilling advice....quick question

I just got a grill:

http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colem...d=27110&brand=

It uses the small 16 ounce propane tanks. I'm in a condo and this sucker is tiny, throws 20,000 BTU's and I can fold it away. While using it no one can see it on my porch past the gate I have up on the porch.

How long should on of those tanks last? I cook for like 20 minutes at a time.

Last night I made shrimp, salmon and asparagus. It was so damn good, I make that stuff on the stove but it came out 10 times better. Man I can’t wait to use it again.

You can get adapters that will let you use a 20lb cylinder, and then run a hose to the grill..

The little tank will last right until you need it most. Murphy's law.

Get a total of 3 of them, and when you empty the second one, refill those two. That way, you aren't constantly running to get them filled and you have at least one backup when you need it.

i have a small grill on my boat that runs those green tanks, not sre how many oz they are but prob 20-30 maybe, grill is small, it will cook 4 burgers and a few dogs at a time. with the above said i can usually get a full weekend out of one bottle which id say is atleast 20 min per meal times 3-4 meals over 2 days.
so id say atleast an hour or more.
i keep 3 on my boat at all times.
