Propane grill

If you have a grill that you use the one pound bottle with. When you convert it to use a portable hose from your 30 lb tank how do you regulate the heat, because you have to remove the regulater because that is the part the bottle screws into
  • The regulator on my Weber 2000 grill wasn't working so I modified it. I got a 5' hose w/ regulator to connect a 20# propane bottle to the grill, after removing the Weber's regulator.

    With that type grill, you need an adapter hose, $16.95 from Lowes or Home Depot. It's 4 feet of hose with a fitting for the 20 pound tank on one end and a fitting that screws into the 1 pound can receiver on the grill regulator.


    You can get them from Amazon too.

    The hose screws into the same port that the bottle does.

    There are a lot of different connections, adapters, and hoses available for propane tanks and grills. It is possible you just haven't found the correct adapter. If your local hardware store sells propane grills, they may have some different adapters you can look at.
  • The regulator and volume valve are two different things on my Coleman grill.
