Are there any small / compact propane grills that are intended to regulate off of a high pressure supply?

I can't seem to find any likely suspects.


Thanks.

Any BBQ that connects to a propane bottle directly runs on high pressure ... they have their own regulator. Even the little ones that run off the small green 1 lb propane tanks have their own regulator where the bottle screws in.

Harder to find, (for me) are ones that run off low pressure, but Google is your friend. :)

2027535 If you were talking to me, the number to the left if the product number in the catalog. The sink and counter combo..Bass Pro shop.

For the outside sink I mounted a kitchen tap to the top of a "Rubber Made" type container, mounted ball valves to the hot and cold water low point drains,cut an old fresh water hose in half and hooked them to the tap and ball valves. The sinks are two plastic wash tubs and I pour the dish water down the sewer hookup in the ground. I got this idea on this forum under do it yourself mods and it works great. As for the grill I prefer my Weber Q as apposed to the cheap grills that came with the trailer. The grill goes on a small plastic table with my Coleman stove, a ten pound propane tank with a distribution tree and hoses with a lantern on top makes for a great cook station.

hmm, sounds like what I'm looking to do. Do have a link to the DYI article?

Search "kitchen faucet in a box" under Do it yourself modifications and it was posted more than a year ago

As another idea, consider what I did for a grandson's "sensory table" that has a well for sand, rice, water, etc.

I bought a "Lifetime Products" plastic folding table at Lowe's and Rubbermaid snap lid containers (could you stainless steel sink, dish pan, roasting pan, etc.) Traced the outline of it on one side and sawed it out with a jigsaw. Avoided the mounting points and supports for the legs. To keep moisture out of the interior, I caulked around the cut edge.

I also used a plumber's pipe cutter to cut a few inches off the legs, then re-capped with the feet. But you probably won't want a table that low.

thanks, could you narrow that down for me, Bass Pro will return a mountain of links.

Frosty one 4 me, Bass Pro has a table and sink comb. you might like. ON sale now for 70. 2027535 is the no. Hubby wants one to use camping and on the deck.

My advice would be to go out a few times and see what you really want and need.

We bought a baby weber grill. They work as well as your bbq at home. They cool down fast also. It was the best buy. We also use a propane stove outside. We felt that these were more practical than a outdoor kitchen on the trailer or one of those outdoor kitchens you can buy. We can take them other places than just on ojr site. We bought a white fold up table that we store under the bed when travelling, to use with the stove and bbq.

What ever you decide on, make it your decision and enjoy!

If this is your first TT go camping in your backyard once or twice to see what sort of things you want to bring and where you want to place them. Plan your first couple of trips close to home that way you are familiar with the area and know the best places to grab any supplies you decide you want to have.

I agree with previous posters that recommend you rig up your own "outdoor kitchen" Attaching a low pressure grill to the side of the camper just doesn't sit well with me. There is the issue of grease, smoke and the possibility of a flare-up that could damage the side of the camper - or worse!

I made a chuck box many years ago when we were tent camping that is so handy that we continue to use it with our TT. It's just a storage box on adjustable legs with drop leaves to extend the top surface. We put a coleman stove on the top and the drop leaves make a work counter. The legs are independently adjustable so that it can be set up dead level on uneven ground.

I have made a number of mods to our TT with pix that I uploaded to a previous post. Here is a link to that post:

All my mods
