16.4 oz is equal to 10,000 BTU. For example if using a Coleman one burner stove (for camping or when your power goes out) 10,000 BTU lasts up to 9 hours when u put burner on low and 2-3 hrs if using high level. hope this helps. I've been chking into this cause with last weeks recent nor'easter Albert of CT had no power for 6-1/2 days, and w/Hurricane Irene in Aug, had no power for 5+days. so been doing research so I'll be prepared for the next power outage.

That depends on what climate zone you are in and how badly the house leaks. Best to perform and individual Heat Loss calculation for each job rather than adhere to inexact rules of thumb as you are doing by asking this question.

Roughly, yes. Actually it is slightly more. A cubic foot of natural gas has approximately 1000 btus of heat energy when burned. Figures range as high as 1017 btu/cu.ft. based on the proportions of the mixed gases, primarily methane and propane, which have different heating values. The more propane the more heat in a cubic foot. A generalization made by gas distributors is that a hundred cubic feet [ccf] is equal to one therm [ 100,000 btu] of heat.

They are two different fuels with different properties, ie, natural gas = 1000 BTU/hour per cubic foot, Propane = 2500 BTU/hour per cubic foot (vapor). Most burners can be converted by simply changing to the recommended burner nozzles. Additionally the pressure regulator and /or fuel valve may need to be changed.
