Thanks
That hose with quick connection seems to be hard to find.

The parts are all available at Amazon. Remember you have to modify your regulator to use the low pressure port.

modify the regulator as in “removing it “?
What other modification can be made.

Do most propane grillers here use the Pod tank, or the small portable tanks?

Tom, this is getting a bit confusing. Not all of us have a low pressure port. You can't use a regulated grill on the low pressure port, you can't regulate it twice. I have an adapter that allows me to connect multiple devices to my tank. I can use low and high pressure, small and big tanks. I like that. If you have a grill with a regulator, you need to modify it to connect to the low pressure port you have, that's it.

So sorry to confuse you Mike. As I mentioned earlier, I have a Webber Q grill. They come with a regulator. And yes, the Pod has a regulator and I do understand that I can’t run gas through two regulators.   You have mentioned “modifying the regulator “ and lm not clear about what that means. Do you mean removing i the regulator from the grill? That’s all.

Also looking for clarification here - the blackstone looks like a really cool unit. My pod doesnt have a quick-connect so will be adding one. Not sure what I need to remove on the blackstone to be able to tie into supply lines on the rpod.

Tom A, yes you need to modify Q for a low pressure port, my friend. Check YouTube. Yes that means removing the grill components. Qs are easily adaptable. Good luck with adding a low pressure line then modifying everyting to remove the regulator.

Ben Herman - why would you add a low pressure line, when you have a regulated grill and you just need to add a port adapter to give you high pressure line. Makes no sense.

Thx Mike - I'll crawl under there in the morning (too hot back in the alley right now) and see what I'm dealing with. I'm pretty handy but no experience with the whys and hows of lp systems.

I use a CAMCO 59123, 4 port T with 2 hoses, check it out, connects directly to your existing propane tank, no mods. Allows you to run propane devices with regs and an extra tank. I like it because I deal only with the tank. It stays connected and does not effect normal ops.

Thx - as Murphy would have it, I just modded my pod a few weeks ago to add a 2nd tank on the tongue. Would have been easy to do this then. But I didn't know about the burning desire I'd develop for the Blackstone 17 griddle (lol).
