does it use the 20 lb. propane tank? Do I have to buy the adapter gas hose?

It actually uses the long skinny propane tanks found in the tool section in a Home Depot or Lowe's, not the short fat camping propane tank used by Coleman grill stoves. The propane tanks are usually used to attach to a welding tool.

You need to buy the gas adapter hose. Out of the box it works with the small 1lb campling stove and lantern tanks.

I have done it. You just have to have the adapter hose. Any adapter propane hose will work.

It does not need any adapter to attach to a 20# propane tank. It will connect to the left handed threads in the OPD.

Yes, we use ours camping and hook it up to a standard 20lb. propane tank....Works great!

All the canister portable/disposable propane bottles fit inside. Additionally you can get an adapter cable that connects to a 20lb propane tank - there is a grommeted hold in the bottom that the hose can feed through. Most I talked to, including me, have purchased the 20lb tank to portable canister adapter to re-fill the portable canisters. A canister seems to lasts a couple of full evenings.

yes you can use 20lb tank with this heater depending on amount of time required to heat area

No, that doesn't come with it, however you shouldn't need it if you have a regular 20# lpg tank. If you look at the picture for the product on amazon, and then you look at the red regulator, look on the left side of it. That's a male connector that actually threads to the inside of the nozzle on the propane tank. Most people don't realize that almost all propane tanks have 2 sets of threads. 1 set of big thick threads on the outside (that's what the female coupling you asked about would use, similar to what a grill uses), then a second set of finer threads on the inside of that very same nozzle. Some fill stations use those threads. I'll put it this way, I had a propane tank, and nothing else, and the kit from amazon included everything I needed to setup the fire pit (even including the teflon tape). Nothing else will need to be purchased as long as you have a propane tank in good condition. Hope this helps!

My best answer is I don't know, although there is 5' adaptor hose also available on Amazon that reviewers indicate will connect to a 20lb propane tank. As we bought this to use only when we are Airstreaming, we opted to just use the Coleman canisters you can buy at your local hardware or camping store. We get about 2.5 hours of cook time from one canister. And, we are very pleased with the grill!!

I think the answer is yes. One end of this hose connects to the heater where the "disposable" bottle (used to) connect and the other end connects to a conventional 20lb tank.

If you get the Ice house version then everything comes with it to hook to a 20 pound tank. That version is specifically designer for smaller tanks. The other versions are threaded for gas line and you need to adapt it to fit a propane hose. It isn't difficult but it will cost anywhere between $30 to $50 in parts. I would recommend the ice house unless you plan on useing natural gas or a 100 pound tank.

If you're going to hook it to a propane TANK then you need the adapter/hose. If you hook it up to a small cylinder which you typically find in the sporting goods section, no, it has the connector.

What do you want to do? This hose is to connect to a tank of 20 lbs and to the stove. I have a Coleman propane stove and buy a 20 lbs propane tank to stop buying 1 lb propane can.

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!

Yes it comes with a propane hose which can connect to 20Lb, 30lb or 40lb propane bottle just fine. Have not tried it on a larger propane bottle but I would think there would be no problem connecting to larger bottles/tanks with the proper connecting valves.

Yes, it works perfectly if you are planning to to use a 20 lbs tank. The construction of the hose is solid and the adaptor mates perfectly to the grill. Enjoy.

This has happened to me also. The adapter hose you have is clogged. It may have received some dirt before/during assembly or your 20 lb gas tank has dirty gas. The hose will slowly fill allowing just enough gas to start, then it goes out. You have two options: 1) Find a propane dealer that can blow out the hose adapter for you: or 2) Buy a new hose from a sporting goods store or Wal-Mart. I took option 2.

It only runs on Propane. There are after market conversion kits. I don't know if they'll work on this unit, you'll have to research that. I have 5 20lb propane tanks. It got me through almost 2 weeks of no power during super storm Sandy last year. I went to home depot once for tank exchange.
