Hi...What kind, model, brand, etc propane BBQ grill is needed to tap into R-Pod’s outside aux propane connector. Evidentialy, it’s not going to be cheap. Thanks ------------- Leonard🌵 2017/179 2017 Ram 1500 |

my pod came with an aussie SS grill and hose with a quick coupler. Apparently they dont make them anymore. it looks identical to the smoke hollow at the link below for $75 There are lots of choices for grills and the connect is easy, just a standard quick coupler for propane. looks like a chuck for an air hose that inserts. link to hose:https://www.amazon.com/KIBOW-Propane-Connect-Shutoff-Pressure/dp/B074BGP6T7/ref=sr_1_14_sspa?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1523366819&sr=1-14-spons&keywords=propane+hose&psc=1  https://www.amazon.com/Smoke-Hollow-205-Stainless-tailgating/dp/B00ENJRK3E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1523366574&sr=8-4&keywords=aussie+grill&dpID=412-7m4S4LL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch ------------- TexMan 2015 182g 2018 Sequoia http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9122&title=texman-182g-mods - TexManMods |

As I recall that aux propane line is after the regulator and thus is low pressure. If it is you can use a Weber Q, they make an adapter that replaces the grill regulator so your low pressure propane can run directly to grill. Many great grills to choose from, I'm a Weber Q fan. If the line were high pressure, you could hook grill directly to it. Weber also sells gas lines. I don't have a newer Pod, so I added an adapter that allows me to run my grill off the on board tank. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Thanks texman & mcarter. I bought a new Weber “Go Anywhere” at a garage, before knowing anything about low or high pressures. I thought it would be a simple plug and play routine until I tried to find the right hose connection. Okay, back to the 1lb bottles. ------------- Leonard🌵 2017/179 2017 Ram 1500 |

| Those little cans of propane last a long time. As has been discussed on this forum, don't try to refill them. |

If you do a search for "convert high pressure grill to low pressure" you will find videos and walk throughs for nearly any grill.. It's neither expensive, or difficult. ------------- |

furpod. Thanks for replying. Are you saying that an item such as Camco’s 57274 control valve is not a regulator, and that the low pressure from the R-Pod supply will not be further reduced. 😎 ------------- Leonard🌵 2017/179 2017 Ram 1500 |

Reading the description, that appears to be a control valve only. So, no it doesn't have a regulator built in. BUT.. replacing that isn't what I was talking about. You can remove the regulator from a grill designed for use on bottles, and replace it with a quick connect or threaded connection as needed. like so.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_-5ysjTiU ------------- |

Yes it does not make a difference what grill you get. All you need to do is remove the regulator that comes with the grill and buy a series of connectors (one quick snap at the RPOD end and another at the grill along with a long hose. When I researched it I think it came to around $45. Decided against it as I wanted the freedom to move the grill anywhere I wanted depending on the wind so we carry the 1 lb canisters (which last 3-4 grillings). But someone posted the parts needed on this forum you can buy at Amazon about a year ago

Weber makes the hose and nipple you need in one kit, that replaces the regulator, it's about a 15 min chore. The only consideration is the grill no longer has a regulator and so can't be used on a high pressure line. Kit is on Amazon, $32 plus shipping. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I have. I am getting rid of mine this season. Mine caught on fire last fall. I had plenty of water in the "moat" underneath, so I don't want to take any chances with it. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |
