Our two week old Big Sky goes through a tank in about 4 days. Day temps have been in the low to mid 40's and night in the mid 30's. We are comfortable with the thermostat set at 71. The fireplace adds a toasty atmosphere. It's not necessary for warming at these temps, but it is nice. I sense that if the temps drop another 10 degrees some type of supplemental heat will be necessary.


During Hurricane Sandy we did not have access to a hookup, so we had to rely on our generator. We learned quickly that running the generator and furnace at the same time sucks propane rapidly. Actually the flow is too great for the tanks causing the propane to freeze up and quit flowing even before the tank is empty.
That propane usage is no better than our 06 3400 under the same conditions.We expected better.We expected a lot of things to be better and they are not.
