No more than any 4-burner gas grill would if you were using all 4 burners.

The regulator is a standard .5 PSI gas grill regulator so its fuel consumption is pretty much exactly the same. It puts the heat into the steel instead of ambient air.

Now if you do the mod with the 5 and 10 PSI regulators, yeah - you'll tear through fuel. And you're past the unit's operational guidelines so you're also burning fuel less efficiently (the air gates into the bars are only going to open as much as they'd need to efficiently run .5 PSI). So if you start pumping 3-4 PSI into those bars, you'll get more heat but you'll be running really rich and really inefficiently because even with wide open air gates at the front of the bars, there's only so much air that can be drawn through the opening.

Raw sugar and olive oil I presume?

That's what it looks like to me.

I would use butter

My local Wal Mart had four in stock and now they have three. They’re priced at $247. I bought a five piece set of a scraper, two spatulas, and two squirt bottles. Now I need a cover and a few other things.

It’s been years since I bought a propane tank. What’s the price on a new one and refills?

New tanks are about $50. Refills are usually around $20.

It's all exchange now. Around here about $25

Did you get a cover or anything? Would suggest you set something on the griddle to prop up the cover, especially when it rains. Found out yesterday the cover isn't especially waterproof, and water will pool in the griddle unless there's something creating a runoff slope.

You have to have a tank to exchange, so you have to pay for the first one. My Lowe's has them for $49.

Not yet. Saw one on Amazon.

This one looks alright.

That's what I got, and it's pretty heavy duty. Just make sure you prop it up so rain runs off rather than pooling on the steel. I'm just using a milk jug right now.

Unless you're cooking for 20, what's the point of this thing?

You can do hibachi at home with this thing.
