Typically, coming out of the tank, there is a pressure regulator that lowers the propane pressure. All the built in appliances are designed to operate on this lower pressure.
The issue with connecting a propane grills is it typically already has a regulator on the grill but since the grill is seeing low pressure, there isn't enough pressure to open the 2nd regulator.
What you need is an adapter that eliminates the regulator on the grill. For safety reasons, they typically use different fittings.
It's fairly common to have a tap for outdoor propane appliances already built in and it wouldn't be hard to add one if you don't. It's nice because you don't have to haul around separate propane tanks just for the grill.
If you aren't familiar, I would suggest stopping by a propane place that sells fittings and such. Take the MH with you and ask them if they can set it up. They will likely have all the fittings and may have someone who can put it together for you (they may be willing to do it themselves).
