Low pressure propane outlet - useless?

The low pressure outlets are very useful.

Just remove the regulator from a Weber, Coleman or other brand BBQ and get a hose and fittings or buy a kit. Our hose is 20' and allows us to set up on a picnic table well away from the TT.

We also use a single burner cooktop as seen in the photo. Again, simply removed the regulator and got some hose and fittings. We use it for pots and the frying pan which can't be done on the Weber.

We never cook inside on the stove and get a lot of use from our Weber BBQ and the cooktop. We have a campfire in a can that we also run off the low pressure outlet.

Thanks for this and all the responses. This re enforces what I initially thought, which was that you cannot use a low pressure port without some type of modification to the destination equipment.

Of course my issue is that I like to also use my appliances as they were intended, using high pressure. There are times when I want to use my grill, or gas firepit, or fish fryer on a 20lb. bottle, or even a 1lb. bottle for portability.

So it seems I would have to modify all my equipment to use both. It appears it certainly can be done. But my initial comment suggesting it was "useless" was for "out of the box" solutions or off the shelf equipment. You guys (and gals) are a different breed I believe. You have no problem modifying gas accessories. I have no problem with it either. But I can't even imagine telling some of the people I camp with to attempt this as a solution. And I think they are in the majority.

depends on what you have. both my grills and also my firepit came set up for either low or high pressure input as purchased. normally low pressure but they both came with an external regulator and pigtail hose to hook to a high pressure source.

So, out of the box they work with both.
