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.

∙ 15y ago59 YEARS AGO, THE UNIVERSITY IN lAWRENCE, Kansas TAUGHT US IN THE INDUSTRY THAT THERE WERE 36 CU FT PER GALLON AND 2580 BTU PER CU FT. tHAT WOULD GIVE YOU 92,880 BTU PER GALLON. i NOTICE HOWEVER, TODAY THEY SAY THERE IS 35.97 CU FT PER GAL AT 2546 BTU PER FT GIVING YOU A TOTAL OF 91600 BTU PER GALLON. hOW THINGS DO CHANGE!
