Outdoor grill hookup questions

[CallMeChris]

I picked up a 2013 Jayco X23B recently and it had a mounting bracket for a grill on the side and a quick connect for the gas underneath. I've been shopping around for something to put there and had a cousin that gave me a stove he used on an old popup camper they had...score! haha Anyways, it mounts right up but the hose is about 2" too short and it has a screw type connector where my camper has the quick connect. Is it possible for me to find like a 6" adapter? What are my options to make this work?


Here is the stove

Incorrect. The OP's grill is a Wedgewood / Atwood D-20WHP 10,000 BTU High Pressure Outdoor Stove designed specifically for the Fleetwood / Coleman Grand Tour series of popup campers that (as I described) were plumbed with dual regulators, allowing this stove to be fed with a regulated high pressure feed of ~ 16 p.s.i. This stove does not have a regulator, instead each stove burner is jetted to run directly from this regulated high pressure feed. And no, this is not the same stove as any sold at Wally World, in fact has been discontinued, available only in the used market.

The grill you have in your pictures has a high pressure regulator and connectors for propane bottles. You cannot use this setup with your quick connect system which is low pressure. Go to your local RV dealer and you can get a low pressure hook up for your grill. The pressure regulator you get with a long hose (to keep the grill away from the RV) and low pressure quick connect will work fine. Keep the high pressure regulator and hose set up in case you want to use your grill away from your RV.

I had the same situation with my TT. We had a small grill that used the high pressure propane bottles that we purchase at Wal-Mart many years ago for $20. We purchased a new TT with an outdoor kitchen with the same gas connections you have. I purchased the conversion regulator and quick connect hose from my RV dealer for about $55 and the grill works both ways with no problems.

By the way, Wal-Mart still sells this table top grill today.

"A little more involved" is an understatement. :R Not one respondent has recognized this is a high pressure stove, likely a Wedgewood from a Fleetwood / Coleman Grand Tour series popup camper which was designed to run directly from a regulated high pressure feed and has no regulator at all. That DIY stove surround is a dead giveaway that the original owner replaced it, just as I did with my own ...





This stove is "special" in that it requires a regulated propane feed of ~ 16 p.s.i. which Fleetwood achieved by double regulating the trailer's propane tank feed using 2 separate regulators, the first of which regulated tank pressure (80 to 200 p.s.i.) down to ~ 16 p.s.i. and running that out to the curb side of the trailer, terminating the hose with a 1"-20 threaded fitting, the same fitting used on 16.4 oz propane canisters.



Back at the trailer tongue that regulated high pressure feed was then fed also to a second regulator that reduced pressure to low pressure - 11" water column or ~ 0.5 p.s.i. and was then fed to all interior gas devices.



This stove will not work properly on tank pressure (80 - 200 p.s.i.) nor will it work on low pressure (0.5 p.s.i.) and you therefore won't find any commercially available hose that will connect this high pressure stove to an incompatible low pressure feed. Connect it directly to a tank or canister and you'll have flames 2' high :E , connect it directly to a low pressure feed and there'll be little to no flame at all. Bottom line - you have a stove that was purpose designed for the Fleetood / Coleman Grand Tour series of popup campers that is incompatible with any gas feed you have on your trailer.

My TT came with this kind of grill. Turned out to be a gimmick. It now sits in the attic of my shed - with it's too short hose connection and bumper mounting bracket. You are correct about the quick connect being low pressure. Mine struggled to cook hot dogs. Tried a flank steak and finally took it off and cooked over charcoal. Good luck with it, but I think you will be disappointed in the performance.

You can get the quick disconnect propane hose in a longer length from Amazon and other places. Then you just need to remove the old hose and go to the hardware store to find the right fittings to adapt from the underside of the stove to the new hose.

It will probably involve a threaded fitting of some size that screws into the burner tubes and male quick disconnect that connects to that fitting.

FWIW, I've had an outside stove on both my old hybrid and my new TT and never had any issues with cooking that close to the trailer. How much can you really cook with a two burner cook top anyway? Boil some water or fry some eggs? It's not like you are doing a 14 hour whole hog smoke with it (wish I could).

Remember your not hooking that hose up with the Coleman bottle. Your removing the regulator. You use the regulator on the trailer

Hama, the link in your first post has quick connect on both ends....I was looking for screw end to quick connect end but I don't think that will fix my problem until I figure out for sure the pressure.

I have seen many people using their attached grill and it sets off their smoke detector, since it is right by the door/window.

The link is in my first post. That's what you need

Go to Amazon and type in Propane or Propane Fittings, quit a selection, I was looking at them this morning. Also, our local Suburban Propane distributor has a good selection of fittings and makes hoses to suit you.

I think it can. Also smoke,splashes from cooking and other thing will make it dirty or discolor. Others will chime in. People do it. I'm just not a fan

[Glowrdr]

Can't help much with the hose (although I'm sure there's something to make it work) - but I've got a Dutchmen that has a 2 burner stove that slides out of the side. You should be fine using that.

Isn't that what the stoves and mounts are made for? And this has been used outside of a popup a lot...could it hurt my hard side even though it didn't mess with the popup?
