Well, a rule of thumb from backpacking is that the 1/2 pound canisters will give you 1-2 hours burn time on high (15KBtu).  So double that for 1-pounders, and maybe double that again for idling.

 

I use the 20-pounders of propane for my frame.  They last a long time, but are guaranteed to run out just when you need them not to.  Always have spares.

 

This is what I ordered:

 

http://www.amazon.com/GasOne-Butane-Fuel-Canister-Pack/dp/B0022BUT2O/ref=pd_sim_468_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=51qfN8iORsL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1ESE1BH672E8Q2X2FFEV

 

8oz.  You talk about larger ones, but the burner I ordered is very small.  Wouldn't it be tricky to try to hook up larger canisters?  Those beans will take several hours to cook, simmering on low.  From what I'm reading here, I probably should plan on having at the ready two of these smaller canisters per pot of beans.  And probably should go ahead and order more now.

 

Right?
