This will work if you have a propane grill port on your rPod: A search on Amazon for 'blackstone propane' will give the above, as well as several other options.

Hello and welcome! I am assuming by Blackstone, you are talking about a Blackstone griddle. It should come with what you need to connect to a disposable tank, but if you want to use a 20 lb cylinder, you need one of these: This is the link for the better quality steel wrapped hose. If you want to use it with your RPod's low pressure fitting, then someone else will need to provide the answer as I don't have a low pressure port in our 2016 RP179.

Just bought a Blackstone. What hoses/adaptors do I need?

My 2015 has a low pressure propane port under the rear bumper (garage model) and came with a grill. We don't use the grill, but have a Blackstone griddle. The small canisters don't last long with the Blackstone, so I got an adapter hose and run the griddle directly from the LP port.

FYI there is an adaptor for the low pressure supply for black stone grills. It does away with the regulator.

I can agree with that. Just want to make sure that the poster knows that the auxiliary LP port is not a complete waste.
We actually use both...the stove and the ever-ubiquitous baby Weber grill with its own tank of propane. Can sautée onions and peppers while grilling brats |

If your r-pod came with an outdoor stove that connects to that port, that's a fine use for it.
But the r-pods without the optional outdoor stove that come with that port mounted on the frame, by itself, well, thats a lot less useful without buying a dedicated appliance and connector or two. Much simpler to just buy an off-the-shelf camping stove and use that...or so it seems to me. Again, just my opinion. |

Our 195 has that port in conjunction with the outdoor stove (which slides out from the pass-through) and it works great (and is very handy).

Hey S/H, understand. I didn't want to do a dual tank conversion. I have plenty of space to carry a spare tank. My tongue weight is at 382, didn't want to go higher. Also I didn't want a low pressure grill, it's to single purpose. Also I wanted option to use other accessories to include grill. The coupler allows all that and is a 3 min install on existing tank.
