Has anybody used this with propane? I'm wondering how large of a tank I'd need to have to make it feasible. I don't have a lot of space or access.

Yes! Works great. I use a small 3 gallon style much like a BBQ. Lasts a long time. But depends on your habits. Remember to provide ventelation or turn it off if you go to bed or leave for a few days... The stove jets have to be swapped out and yhe oven burner adjusted, but I love my little stove..

I am in about the same boat. I just used a regular propane bottle. It hooked right up and I had no trouble with it at all. I was a little leary of it at first because It was the first time I had ever tried to do such a thing , but even regulating the flame was not that hard, and soon became confident turning on the gas and lighting the flame. I'd say go for it. I'm a 70 year old woman and if I can do it anyone ought to be better than me.

as my unit is natural gas there is no vent to install = probably not with propane either. I just mounted it on the wall, plumbed in a gas line to it and turned it on. I use it in my garage and have yet to go past the lowest setting on it = uses about $30 a month in gas. I love this puppy!

It isn't recommended. I have never tried it. I believe they have a model that works with the 5 gal propane tanks, but I remember it recommended only using the small canisters for this Red Dragon model.

I connected to a 60 gal propane tank. Check the connector before u buy !!They sold me 2 60 gal tanks with the wrong connectors & i had to buy separately! They do, however work fine.

Not sure I understand the question? I use it with a normal portable propane tank.

I wouldn't use anything larger than a 10 gallon tank (standard size for a BBQ). I use a 5 gallon and it works fine...I still have more than half a tank left from the summer and I use the stove in my summer kitchen for things like canning and cooking so our house stays cooler.

I run my 7500 watt gen set on natural gas. One time I did try using propane just to see how it would work with a 20 pound tank and it seemed to do well. Don't remember what the size of the hose but I think it was 3/8 inch.

Hi there. Can you give me some idea of how large the tank is? The Propane GasGenie picks up small temperature changes in the tank wall as the gas is used up. If the tank is very large the changes could be too small to detect. Regards Peter

Ken Charvoz is correct. I would strongly recommend you use this with natural gas rather than propane.

Yes I used it with a large tank. You can find a camper to grill hose online.

If you use the small tanks, make sure you have two available. My buddy works for Ashland propane so we use 50 lb tanks. When we cook for about 300 (wild game feast) we probably use about 8-10 lbs.

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 tank will actually do OK. It doesn't burn a lot of propane from my experience

I would like to use the larger size propane tank with this grill. Is it safet to do that and were could I buy a supply line to connect the two?

I use propane. There is a slide out drawer for the tank and hardware to connect in the unit.

This tank may work fine for supplying the fireplaces, but do you want the propane company to deliver fuel to your house (instead of needing to take this tank to a place yourself)? If so, then they may have certain requirements like a special connector for filling, so talk to them before buying this. This tank when filled weighs 150+ lbs, so it's not easy to throw in a truck and run.
