I have read that aftermarket connectors for 20 lb. bottles do not work on these grills. Has anyone had success using one? I already own one that I've used on two other grills and don't want to buy a Weber hose if it is not necessary.

I am currently using my weber grill with the 20lb tank size. I bought an adapter hose that allows me to use the big 20lb tank and I can also use the small portable Coleman bottles. Go to your local hardware store and get an adapter hose. I did not modify my grill.

I used this hose to connect a portable table top propane barbeque to a bulk tank instead of the one pound bottles. All I needed was a splitter that connected to the bulk tank [$18.] I connected this hose to one port of the splitter for the barbeque and another to the other port the my two burner stove. With the extra length of these hoses I could tuck the tank out of the way under the table. As long as your grill has a regulator on it this should work fine. You could also contact Coleman for more specific information.

I am using the standard grill tank. I can't see why you couldn't use the 40# tank if the connections matched. The only time you are using propane is when you are using hot water. Depending upon your application a 20# tank might be large enough. It certainly is for me.

Hello,We use a 20 lb tank that fits most grills. All tanks now have a internal and external threads. Old style tanks had only internal threads. New ones have both. If you bought your tank recently at Walmart it should be the new style. Holly

Looking for the same thing for a different reason. I'm looking for a way to use those small portable tanks with one of those propane-powered weed burning torches. Would be much easier to walk the burner around with a portable tank attached than to drag around a 20-lb tank. Do any of you readers have information to help all of us with our situations? Thanks in advance!

does your fire pit use a 20 lb style connector or the one lb type? The auxiliary connection on this fits the one lb type. Adapters are available.

Yes - you have to buy adapter hose to go from the small bottle connector to the 20 lb bottle

Based on internet research, I think this should work. I read that this grill uses standard LP bottles, and that's what mine uses and I use this item.

Any standard adapter hose will work. I bought mine from Academy Sports. Make sure you get one at least 4' long. 5 or 6' would be better. That'll give you a little flexibility in moving the grill around without dragging the tank around. While I'm at it let me encourage you to get the handle to remove the grates and the wok pan and cast iron smoker/steamer... In fact you can't go wrong with any of the accessories as long as they are the 12" ones. Love my STOK!

Many of Webers items, like this one does 'not' work well in my large round kettle. I don't own the maxi, I have 3 of the others that were considered their large before they came out with this. I also bought their rib rack for the grill, that does not work and its too large for the kettle grill. They are both just sitting in their boxes. Hope this assists you in some way.

I've had no problem at all with the adapter, & use a 20# tank exclusively. I have the LXE road trip grill.

The black part of the gauge screws onto your tank and you screw your grill into the other end. It is "in series" or "in-line" with your propane hose.Also, this gauge works perfectly on my tank. Just make sure you screw it on tightly. I have experienced accurate readings and zero leaks. Highly recommend.

weber makes a model that is designed specifically to hook up to an in ground gas supply instead of using a propane bottle. i bought a weber and they packed up the in ground gas supply model. I had it half put together before i recognized that it was not the right model. i would not try and convert a propane bottle to in ground as the pressure and connections are different, so is the gas. so be sure you get the right type, bottled gas or in ground gas supply.

Kristen, the fittings on both ends are standardized fittings; the end that connects to the grill is the same as on a small gas bottle, the other end fits a twenty pound LP gas container. If this hose fits your needs, I recommend you buy it.

It should. I use a different grill that had a standard gas bottle to grill connection. My new RV has a quick connect like your trailer. This item worked fine when I replaced the old regulator with the new flow control. Important point is that this is a low pressure flow control for a low pressure quick connect.

Yes, See this: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/propane-steak-saver-adapter/24028It adapts a 1# cylinder to a grill fitting which is for a 20# bottle.
