I have a 500 gallon tank for my house, how can I hook this to that? -like I see some gas grills, I'm guessing its not that difficult...

I had my propane company hook mine up. I highly recommend you do the same. I have a high pressure line from the tank to the regulator that goes to the house. The generator has its own regulator,so they tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator at the house, and installed a valve that was tamper proof. I then had them install a quick connector to the valve. I bought a 12 ft. high pressure hose for the generator and installed the other half of quick connect to it. It works great! Just so you know....... this kind of hookup will void your warranty.

Hi, Good post you have here, and I'm almost ready to go out and buy this Cuisinart bbq grill. About the propane tank filling up thingy: you really don't need to guess anymore about how much gas is left in your tank. At Walmart, H. Depot, Harbor Freight, etc. you can get a small gauge hookup that you just quickly screw into your tank-to-grill hoses, and just keep tabs on the amount of gas you have left by looking at the glass gauge. I think it's around $15-19. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Yes. I had my gas co. hook mine to my 250 gal. propane underground tank. They tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator next to my house and installed a tamper resistant valve with a quick connect on it. I have run it this way. Works fine. Would highly recommend you get your gas co. to do this. They need to see if the high pressure line is big enough. To hook it up this way also voids the warranty.

Need a Tee from your onboard tank to accept the female tank fitting from the campfire. RV dealer should be able to facilitate that. I would use a longer hose also.

Not without getting a kit for that from the vendor. But you do want to ask yourself why and where you'd hook it up. I find it's a lot safer to use a propane bottle setup because it lets me move the fryer to a place farther away from the house. I have a natural gas hookup for the grill, but that's right next to the house. With the fryer there's also the mess issue. I find it's better to use the fryer away from the patio so it doesn't leave oil spots all over the flagstone.

It does not come with the regulator or hose necessary for hookup. I already had the items from a previous propane unit I was replacing. If you are hooking up to a portable propane tank, the regulator on the tank may or may not be sufficient. If you are hooking up to a bulk tank, you probably already have a regulator installed where the propane line enters the house. Again, this may or may not be sufficient. The best thing to do is get in touch with a local propane supplier to find out what is necessary and LEGAL in your state. As a side note, the unit also does not contain the floor mount kit to leave it on the floor rather than mounting it to the wall. No big deal for me, but I believed it was included when I ordered it. Over all this is a wonderful unit and I am very happy with it.

I am not sure. I'm sorry I cannot be much help but I would suggest starting with your propane provider or local plumbing store. you are fortunate to have the big tank to draw on. the little 20 pounders don't last too long and very expensive. good luck in your search!

I believe so. You can purchase a conversion kit that allows you to hook it up to a larger tank. I am not sure of the specs that may be necessary.But you will find others on here who have done it easily. That done - perfect set up!

Perhaps. I do not know what Weber grill you possess. I have this system because I have a "low pressure" grill that hooks directly to my RV propane tank. Most grills are high pressure. If I had to guess and it is only a guess, better explore some other options.

Is it possible that you have a regulator on the tank and at the grill? If so remove one. Never alter gas fittings, they are made that way for a reason.

Will work with a bbq tank with the right adapter. check at your local hardware store. You will also need a regulator, also available at your local hardware

Sounds like you need an adaptor for your grill... Check Home Depot or Lowes.

Either you got the wrong one or your plumber is incorrect. Mine has a gray hose with the proper connector to hook to the gas outlet on my patio. Did yours come with all the parts to mount a propane tank underneath? If so, it is definitely a propane version. On mine the book mentions the tank mounting pieces but they did not come in the box.

I would think there are two issues here. First is how the line coming from the propane tank is hooked up to the back of the fireplace. And second is whether or not there's a minimum PSI that's needed for the fireplace and the regulator to work. If there's a minimum PSI needed then you may have to have a tank it's large enough to maintain that PSI. So that may dictate how large of a tank you need and whether or not you can just simply use a barbecue tank. My fireplace is hooked up to the same line that feeds my gas stove in the kitchen.

Yes, it can be hooked up to a propane tank you just need an adapter which you should be able to find at Home Depot

You can get a big propane tank if you buy the hose/adapter for it as well. Otherwise, it will hold a small tank, sorry, I don't know the size of the small tanks, but you can get them at Home Depot in a 2 pack.

The key is not tghe size of the tank but the regulator. We use a 25 gallon tank (the ones about 4 feet tall that you can get a home depot or lowes for about $100. We went to a propane place to get the regulator and told them we were using a heater this size. We also cook with the propane.
