Mod a grill using 1 lb propane tanks to work with RV propane

We own a small Smoke Hollow 205 Stainless Steel TableTop Propane Gas Grill that uses those 1 lb propane tanks and I was wondering if anyone has converted it over to use the propane line in my travel trailer. I have a quick connect port on the RV that I could use, but I think I'd need a new low pressure regulator for the grill. Has anyone done this?

  • What Gordon said... my little unit had the propane control as an integral part of the regulator. I use the Quick Connect ball valve to control propane flow.
  • I think it would be the same as any other grill originally intended for high pressure LP.

    Question is, on your grill is the flame control separate from the regulator or part of it?
  • After I posted the above I found this in a Q&A on etrailer.com (https://www.etrailer.com/question-299982.html)

    In spite of what this says below, I don't think this will work. Has anyone used this?

    Question:
    Hello, I have a smoke hallow 205 table top grill with the regulator throw away propane bottles. My question is can I put the 277 grill quick connect on my 205 smoke hallow? And if I can where can I order one? Thanks!,

    It sounds like you need MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose # 100476-120-MBS. One end goes into a female quick disconnect on the RV/trailer. The other end is a Male #600 (1"-20) disposable cylinder port that lets you hook up a small appliance or propane tree. This way you can power a grill, heater, or other accessory without needing to use a 1-lb throwaway cylinder.
