    Have a Char Broil X200 Grill2Go with regulator on control knob for 1 lb tanks but want to connect to R pod propane outlet. I think propane from pod is already regulated. Please advise what I need to operate on pod propane connection. Thanks

	One of these might work: https://www.etrailer.com/Propane/MB-Sturgis/100476-48-MBS.html#exp-productdetails=.reviews I prefer to use a small refillable bottle and hose, so I can use my tabletop grill at a greater distance from the trailer.

	As you stated, you have a grill with a regulator, and the pod propane connection is regulated. So a double regulated hook up will not work. Your choice is either remove the regulator from the grill and NEVER attach it to any other supply (it will be unregulated) or don't run it off the pod. Plenty of youtubes on this. I seen one that they put a quick disconnect on the grill regulator, so it's easy on, easy off. Me, I carry a blackstone (flat top) and a weber Q grill, and I run a tree off a 20 pound between them. I like to save my propane for the h/w, fridge, etc..

	+1. I originally thought I would want to connect to the rpod tank too but in reality the little 1 lb cylinders last quite awhile and provide a lot of flexibility. I do a fair amount of grilling and maybe go through a couple a year, not a big deal.

	I would agree that using the 1 pound propane cylinders is the better option. We thought about hooking into the Pod's propane tank, but the hassle and expense wasn't worth it in our case-you may decide otherwise. It is far more important to save the propane for the Rpod refrigerator, stove and heat and it's easy to carry a small cylinder for the grill my 2cents Vann

	I use the little refillable 11# (~1 gallon) tank...super easy to carry and lasts quite awhile...of course carrying a couple of one pounders for backup.
