Weber 100 with Low Pressure LP hose

[Tachdriver]

Ok, I just saw a post earlier about ditching their RVQ. Mine came with it along with the hose that connects to the low pressure side of the LP plumbing, I love that feature and no I have not peeled any decals. lol.

What my question is that if I get the Weber 100 you can use a hose to connect to a LP bottle or the small bottles, but can you get an adapter that will go between the LP hose I already have and the new Weber 100?

That's how I used to run my Weber too on our old trailer. I used the Extend A Flow kit that came with the tee to take high pressure gas right off the tanks. It's a great way to go and the only reason I converted my Weber was because our new trailer has the low pressure quick connect that's common nowadays.

Agreed. I had removed the regulator and ran a hose direct to the MH for 1 trip. We did not like the restriction of the hose even though it is long. It is just really nice to be able to move the grill to where ever is a good spot with the small tank. Every time we setup it seemed there was a better place due to wind or sun than the hose would allow us.
In the overall cost of RVing, the price of small bottles vs. bulk propane will probably not matter. 🙂 We also have the Weber hose adapter to the 20lb. style bottle but that would seem like a pain to drag along unless you are doing a lot of cooking.
Lots of options to suit each persons usage.

hesitating for doing it now....
I already bought the hose for an other propane tank last year and
I would like the flexibility of having the weber where ever we want/need it

on the other hand,
I would like using the on board propane, not carrying an extra tank

Hello

I am running two regulators with no problems on a Weber BBQ. From what I understand the propane regulator on the RV runs at 11 inches and some of the BBQ regulators run at 5 or 6 can not rember exact number. So if the main is higher than the BBQ there should be no problem.

Hi Jim,
I've heard the same thing. I'm going to try it your way and see how it works.

Which part and how did you connect to the Weber leaving the regulator?
you saw no difference?
I am in the process of converting it to use the propane on the RV - lines are all there going to the back of the coach for the RVQ
I see most people remove the regulator but would prefer not messing with it if a good alternative was available.

There are other alternatives, but here's how I did mine. I ended up removing the regulator which takes about 5 seconds. You end up with the quick disconnect on both ends.

I was wrong its a sidekick grill, not sure if the fitting on that can be removed and put on the weber?

[falconman]

I ran a comparison on my Weber using both regulators and then just the one, removing the Weber regulator. While the BBQ would work when running thru both regulators, it did at a reduced heat based on the temp gauge on the lid. I don't remember the numbers but the difference was substantial.

I carry the portable 1 lb tank fill adaptor and 3 one lb propane tanks. The adaptor cost $15 to $20. I have 4 20lb tanks on my trailer and use this to fill my 1lb tanks. Works great and makes my Weber Q very portable. Also use the 1lb tanks with my torch to light my camp fires.

I believe you will need to remove the regulator from the Q100 to use the low pressure connection.

Correct, as your trailer will supply regulated (low pressure) gas from the port. The Weber is designed to handle high pressure straight from a tank or bottle, thus, it has a regulator too.

The idea is you only want one regulator in the chain or the pressure drop will be too great.

This question comes up so often and there are some excellent posts with parts list on what you have to do and what fittings you have to buy that I wish they would make the topic a "sticky". I'm getting ready to convert my Weber Q over as my new trailer has the quick connect port too, so I'll post the links when I find them.
