A BTU (British Thermal Unit) is the amount of energy required to raise 1 lb of water 1 degree Fahrenheit. You will usually see propane burners rated in BTU's, but what they mean is BTU's/hr. Here is a simple way to see how many BTUs you need for your pot size. Water density is 8.3 lb/gal. To raise 1 gallon of water (1 x 8.3 = 8.3 lbs) from 70 to 212 deg F in 1 hour you will need 8.3 x 142 = 1,178.6 BTUs.

The rule of thumb is this. Given a room with adequate insulation and typical ceilings (8 feet +/- 1 foot), each 10,000 Btu's of heat output from an efficient gas appliance will heat approximately 350 sq. ft. If the area to be heated has pitched or vaulted ceilings, poor insulation, or drastic air movement then the heating ability will be reduced. (Vented gas logs are not to be considered in this calculation as they are designed for appearance only. See similar questions...

British Thermal Units (BTUs) are the measurement of heat output. One BTU is the heat that will raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is approximately the amount of heat generated by burning one blue-tip kitchen match. There are approximately 3.4 BTUs per watt per hour. High bulb temperature usually does not affect the life of the lamp unless the temperature is extreme. See similar questions...

These may not be our most "Frequently Asked Questions," but they ought to be, because power and energy are Frequently Confused Concepts. Power is the rate of energy release at a given instant in time-how much energy is released per unit time at that instant. Energy is power integrated- added up-over time. Power is measured in watts, kilowatts, and horsepower. Energy is measured in joules (watt-seconds) or kilowatt-hours. See similar questions...

In order to provide an 'apples-to-apples' comparison of fuel costs, their units of measurement must be the same. Natural gas, electricity, propane and fuel oil are all measured differently: cubic feet (cf) of natural gas; kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity; gallons of propane; and gallons (gal) of fuel oil. Therefore, the units of measurement must be expressed as BTUs (British Thermal Units), the universal measurement of expended energy, also known simply as "heat. See similar questions...

Series 1 & 2 natural gas lanterns use 3451 BTUs per hour; series 3 natural gas lanterns use 4854 BTUs per hour. Series 1 & 2 propane gas lanterns use 2800 BTUs per hour; series 3 propane gas lanterns use 4854 BTUs per hour. See similar questions...

No. The amount of energy or Btus required to heat water is the same. A simple way of explaining this is when you boil a pot of hot water on your stove. If you were to boil two identical pots of water, but one is on high heat and the other on low heat, the amount of Btus required to boil the water is exactly the same. The only difference is the amount of time it takes for the water to boil. So think of the tankless water heater as the high heat and the tank water heater as the low heat. See similar questions...
