A reader on the main AR site asks how long (ballpark) does a propane tank last in the Camp Chef. They did not specify the size (18 or 24, yet anyway) Also didn't specify cooking temp, let's assume a long 225F cook.

Thanks for any help we can offer a prospective Pit member!

In my Smoke Vault 18 I get about 40 hours out of a tank doing 225-250F.

I agree with x_90day_16928_justinkporterfield. A recent 10 hr cook I did at 250-270 used just over 1/4 tank. So figure ~40 hours for a full tank for low temps.
