Another trick I've used when really cold inside is to use a fan to direct the heat onto the propane cylinder. From a safe distance...
This was with a 200,000 btu heater.

I'm thinking about buying another Mr. Heater. Maybe they will raise the temperature quicker and the tanks will warm up each other .
That might work.

If you use a bigger tank it will be able to run a bigger heater without freeing up. I run 40lb tanks mostly, they are about the biggest tanks I want to pick up and load in and out of my truck.

Only downside is you can't just take it for a swap at the gas station, got to take it and get it refilled. Normally getting refill is cheaper though, just more work.
