I got 3 1/2 hours of burn time yesterday, and of course it started to rain. At that point I was at about 1/2 the tank gone. So I would guess 7 - 8 hours per 20 pound tank on medium.

Looks nice. One wouldn't mistake it for a wood fire, but it is quite attractive. At night, it should look impressive.

Ok, i'm going to try to post a short video. I have a shareable link for google pictures i'm trying. As you'll see (maybe) this is the Outland fire bowl deluxe 19 inch 58,000 btu version. They make a 24 inch 65,000 version if you want huge. They also offer the premier model which is the 19 inch with a built in ignitor. This video was shot right when i lit it for the first time, so it was still brand new. Now that it has run for about an hour, the flames are really much bigger. I guess the pumice needs a slight break in period. So it gives off much more flame then it first did. 
New link added  try this one

A case of "your mileage may vary" fur?  The literature said between 8 and 11 hours, depending on low or high flame. Even at 8 hours, thats 2 good 4 hour fires for 12 - 13 bucks. Still cheaper, and definately less hassle than wood (i hope)
