According to the Propex website specs, the HS2000 uses 13kg propane in
91.5 hours (1/3 lb. per hour) and 1.4 amps continuous. I am not sure
how many pounds the westy tank holds, but a typical BBQ tank is 20lbs
and 5 gallons. The westy is 3 gal. So, lets say there is 10lbs. That
would give you 30 hours of continuous heat.

Someone else want to do the math on the battery drain?
