Theres about 430,000 btu's in a 20 lb propane tank. it your grill is 43,000 btu's it would last 20 uses.
The formula for the combustion of propane is: C2H6 + 5O2 --> 2CO2 + 3H2O So each mole of propane creates two moles of carbon dioxide. One mole of propane is 30 g, one mole of carbon dioxide is 44 g So each gram of propane creates (2x44)/30)= 2.93 g of carbon dioxide on combustion. In common terms a 20lb tank of p for a BBQ creates a bit less than 60 lb of carbon dioxide
The ratio of propane to oxygen is 1:5. So for every mole of propane, 5 moles of oxygen gas are required for the complete combustion of propane.Balanced equation:C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Ethanol molecules have the ability to form Hydrogen bonds with each other ( H from one molecule with O of another). Propane cannot form hydrogen bonds. Thus one needs more energy to break these bonds in order to evaporate.
Certainly. Simply use an adapter hose which your local dealer can fabricate for you or actually hard plumb a tee, a valve and a hose into your existing regulator that can be extended outside of the RV to a portable tank sitting on the ground. Either way the cost is likely under $60.00

If you are trying to decide whether you should purchase a gas grill or a charcoal grill, you can compare the advantages of buying each grill. Possibly, the biggest advantage of buying a charcoal grill is the smoky flavor that charcoal imparts on food as it burns. The propane used in gas grills adds very little flavor to grilled foods, but propane tends to be a more consistent heat source than charcoal, and the cost of using a propane grill is generally less than the cost of using a charcoal grill in the long run.
To figure this out, check the specifications for your grill. It should report the output of each burner in BTU (British Thermal Units) or kWh (kilowatt hours). One pound of propane contains 21500 BTU (around 6.3 kWh). An average grill might have burners with individual output of around 30000 BTU at full output. Therefore 1 lb of propane will, in theory, last for around (21500 / 30000) * 60 = around 43 minutes. The real time is probably somewhat less than this. If you run it at half output (good for a few sausages) it should last somewhat more than an hour.
Let the steak reach room temps for about 30 minutes before throwing on the grill. Grill for 2 minutes, turn 1/4 of the way for a crosshatch, grill for another 1:30 Turn over and grill for 3 minutes. Let rest while covered with foil for 10 minutes.
To my knowledge, most gas grills do not come with the propane tank. Most tanks can be bought for about 40.00, and filling it each time will set you back about 25.00(depending on the price of propane).
I think 5 minutes each flat side
Sear the steak (about ten seconds on each side) to start with, then 10 minutes on one side and 5 minutes on the other.
I would first season the steak. Turn on on burner leaving one side of the grill left in the off position. First sear the steak on both sides which locks in the juices and leaving those great looking grill marks. Then take your steak and set it on the side that does not have the burner on. Check the temperature of the grill, if it is sitting at 300 to 325 degrees...your looking good. now this is where personal preference comes into play. I like my steaks at a good mid-rare, so i would think 15 to 20 minutes or so should do it. But please check often and don't leave the grill if you don't have to, as things can change pretty quick and you don't want to over cook those great looking steaks.
I'd say on a hot grill, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
Depends on how well you want it cooked, but medium rare is approx. five minutes per side.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Rub mushrooms with a little olive oil and season. I like salt and garlic powder. Grill the mushrooms for about 6 minutes with small mushrooms and 8 minutes for larger ones.
You can start by putting the steak on the center of the coals or right above the burner. Once you place the porterhouse steak on the grill, you should hear a sizzling sound. If you don't hear the sound, it indicates that the grill isn't hot enough to grill the steak. Porterhouse steaks are best cooked if they are turned over a minmum number of times. Each side of the steak must be cooked for about 10 minutes. You can use a thermometer to actually check if the meat is done. You can check a steak temperature chart to know about it.
Before you begin, first you need to preheat the grill for about 15 to 20 minutes at the temperature of 600 degrees. Next, grill the meat for about 5 minutes and then turn the other side over. The outside part of the steak sshould be dark in color but see its not charred. Once you sear both sides of the steak, transfer the meat to the cooler area of the grill and keep grilling for another 5 minutes. Try to avoid flipping the steak over and over. To obtain the nice looking crisscross grill marks on the sides of the steak, just make a one fourth turn of the steak halfway through the grilling time for each side of the meat. Once you take the NY Steak off the grill, place aa teaspoon of butter on each stake and let the cooked meat sit for about five minutes before serving. Hope this helps.
