I admire everyone who has been able to get this thing started. The unit doesn't allow you to push in the knob once it hits Hi. Help please?

I know! The instructions are not very clear but if you move it to approximately 9:00 position (marked Hi) press in and hit the ignition, it will start. Hold the control knob in for a while and you will see it start to glow... it may "pop n' spit" a bit but it will calm down shortly. If a windy day keep the knob depressed a bit longer, release; and don't leave it until it a couple minutes. Make sure it is really going before you trust it. If you are like me (bald)... wear a hat, it really throws out the heat when you are close.

How many hours will one full tank run with this unit on medium setting?

A 20lb tank has ~430,000 BTUs. So 430,000/46,000(heater on full blast) = 9+ hours.

can this be used on a covered porch or screen porch?

Use an electric heater for covered porch. The risk of fire and / or carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly vented or if the unit is inadvertently left on is too high.

Does this come with a warranty?

I cannot find it in the manual. I bought it assuming it came with 1 year warranty. Support is through Amazon since it's Amazon BAsics.
