I know this will be dependent on heat settings. Does this thing burn through tanks like crazy?

Don't know yet. I've heard most people cook on low to medium for most things, so I kinda doubt it.

My local supercenter says they have limited stock. I’m going to go check here in a couple hours. Still wanting one after yesterday so it’s no longer an impulse buy right?

Correct!

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.
