How Long does propane last

[Krysia@No98]

Ha ha ha, I think everyone worries about me a little, it's part of my charm 

(are you coming to the Flame off next year?)

[AnnaSpanna]

Sadly I will not be going to Flame Off next year - oh woe is me....

.....as I will be on a cruise going through the Caribbean over that weekend, on my way up the western seaboard of america to Alaska. The hardship. Am obviously gutted.

Going to Flame On in Oct though!!!!

(sorry for usurping the thread - but I will probably use a lot of propane between now and then - approx 6 kg per month on my HH)

[Krysia@No98]

There's nothing like a tangent!!

Oh it's a shame that you're not coming to the flame off.  My family is looking at going to new york about the same time I have told them if the two clash that I'm going to the flame off.  We shall see if they have grasped this when it comes to booking the dates.

So does that mean that you are going to go through the Panama canal?

but I don't have a kiln log 

Is that like a Yule Log? 

I took a full 13kg down to Cornwall and used it for six weeks - for about five hours a day for seven days a week. It was very very light at the end of that and just about to run out. That's about 210 hours. It did really well, that bottle of propane. But I have to say that some bottles seem to do better than others. Dunno why. Always good to have a spare though as there's nothing worse than a run out bottle. Also you can take your time getting the other one refilled.

Sadly it has far less chocolate in it.

What torch were you using Sal

(It's great to see you back)

[Redhotsal]

Thank you!
Single oxycon and minor burner.

[Krysia@No98]

so in effect when I come to upgrading my torch I will be saving some money on gas... Interesting

[AnnaSpanna]

yeah yeah just keep justifying the upgrade on any other grounds but that you know you want one! the fact that it will take 2 yrs of full time propane use on a minor to warrant upgrading it on the "money saving issue"! Just upgrade - you'll buy the propane no matter what torch you have 

And yes I will go through the panama canal and am just so excited! (Although I watched team america the other night and had a bizarre nightmare of being blown up by durkha durkha puppet terrorists as I went through.... most surreal)

[Krysia@No98]

ha ha ha, I had a dream a few weeks ago where I was helping Michael Rosenbum (Smallville) who needed help installing a ventilation system for his 'plants' and I was helping him using a Lego diagram...  It's amazing what cheese before bed time will do.

I have decided that I am going to wait to get my new torch until the flame off.  I think I know which one I want but I want to play with a few torches first just to clarify in my mind that I am definitely getting the right one!

It does sound very exciting

Martin was saying that there is a new torch coming out soon! Sounded good, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called!

[Krysia@No98]

ooooOOOOooooo!
