What does it mean for car camping?

At the full 12,000 BTU, a 1 lb propane cylinder (about 21,600 BTU) lasts roughly 1.8 hours; at typical 60 percent cooking throttle, about 3 hours.

Use it outdoors only: never run a stove, griddle or heater inside a tent or a closed car, because carbon monoxide builds up fast and is odourless.
