Which aux propane tank for Weber Q?

Thanks for the ideas! I had thought about using the quick connect from the 5'r but I would worry about the trip hazard and burying the hose. I have a Q1200 because of it's size and weight.

The Weber Q series grills are designed to be run from a high pressure tank (or canister) source so any low pressure quick disconnect propane feed is unsuitable unless you remove the grill's regulator and invest in a hose with the proper fittings at each end to run the grill directly off a low pressure quick disconnect feed. I have several friends who do this and it works quite well but I instead chose to leave my Q120 as is and T off one of the trailer's tongue mounted tanks, using that high pressure feed to run the grill, sometimes even split the feed a second time with a Marshall T so I could also run a stand alone two burner Coleman camp stove which is also a high pressure device. However, since I always park my Q120 on the campsite picnic table it grew old having to set it all up each time and constantly try to remember to not trip over the hose running out to the grill from the trailer. :M These days I just take along a 5 lb tank to power the grill and although we use the grill almost every day when camping I usually only have to refill it once each season. I also always have on hand a couple of 16.4 oz canisters for running our camp stove (which runs "forever" on just one canister) so they also serve as spares should the 5 pounder ever run dry. JMO, but sometimes "simpler is better". :)
