Answer 2

Type your answer here... there are around 91,600 BTUs in a gallon of propane. The standard BBQ sized bottle of propane contains 11 pounds of propane. Propane weighs about 4.2 pounds per gallon, so that 11 pounds of propane is about 2.5 gallons in its liquid state. That means there is 91,600 BTUs/Gal times 2.5 gallons so a BBQ sized tank of propane contains about 2.3 million BTUs. If your BBQ has a 50,000 BTU burner, on high heat, it will last a bit over 4 and half hours of run time.

Answer 3

There are approximately 21,600 BTU (British Thermal Units) in a pound of propane. Propane is a highly efficient fuel source commonly used for heating, cooking, and other applications due to its high energy content. Understanding the energy content of propane is important for calculating fuel efficiency and determining appropriate usage for various appliances.
