Yeah if it's a little buddy then 4+hours on it. I got one of them last year and enjoyed it. I upgraded to the big buddy this year and am very happy with it. Fished the last two days for a total of 9 hours running it on low/med and I haven't ran out yet!  :thumbsup:

Ran mine yesterday.  Tank ran out, put a new tank in, hit the pilot, and 2 or 3 fireballs came out?  Dang near burned my shelter down.  Other than that, I love it!
