Does this grill work with a propane tank or does it have to be plumbed to a gas line?

Ours hooks up to propane tank. If you are using propane just make sure you buy model that is "LP" that stands for liquid propane. The model you are asking about is LP.

This grill works with a regular, refillable tank. It should be noted however, that the built in version of this grill does NOT have space underneath for the tank. There are fittings and plumbing included with the grill so the tank can be concealed in an adjoining space to where the grill will be installed. This was not readily apparent to me when I ordered this grill online. As a result, we ended up making a few modifications to our new patio to accomodate this grill. After that, I can honestly say this is the best grill I Have ever owned.

The grill is set up for either source. Mine has worked flawlessly for three years.

Mine required a gas line, but you can buy them ready for a propane tank. Great product !

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.

I installed it myself and had the propane people connect it to the tank. I also had the propane people add the pressure reducer. I dug the trench for the propane line to the tank myself. The fire inspector OKed the job.

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

Yes it comes with the necessary hardware (including the regulator) to connect it to a standard propane tank like you would have for a grill.

Yes you would need a hose to connect the propane tank. I use a hose with 5 # & 10# tanks.

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 are correct it has to be connected to a gas source. A propane tank could be off to the side somewhere out of range for the camera eye or using a 12 foot hose. It could also be hard piped. All of these should be done by a licensed gas professional.

I'm not certain, but I used a standard propane tank that they sell for use with grills so I think yours should be the same as far as connecting. I just open the valve all the way and it works ok for me, so I don't think the regulator should pose a problem either.

The grill works with natural gas and is actually "converted" to work with propane. You just remove the propane bits and done.

It has standard pipe fittings for natural gas, but you should be able to add the correct fittings to hook up to propane. Try Home depot for fittings.

Natural gas would come from a line you have in your house from the utility company.and if you don't have a line in the house,you would have to use a propane heater and the tank is supplied by the propane company.

We use a tank. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a gas line. However, the little concealment door would need some jimmy-rigging.

The Chef's Mate does fine with a 5 gal. propane tank and low pressure regulator. I did need to call upon a plumber to assure the connection of grill to tank was done properly.

As listed previously the grill will function normally except for the side burner. There will be some open screw holes and you will not have a shelve to put stuff on. Be sure that if you do not put the side burner on that you cap the gas line. Enjoy the grill it works great.

Ours is connecting to a propane tank. It runs great on propane. We wanted it off the natural gas grid because of failures last year. How long it will run depends on the size of the tank and the tank needs to be in gallons.
