Hooking up camp stove and BBQ to the quick connect propane outlet.

[santacruzer]

Wow...I was not aware Manchester came out with a 1# refillable canister. I have one of those adapters that allow you to refill one of the disposables from a 20# bottle, but it's a PITA to use and the valves sometimes leak. I stopped using it.

Never heard of them, if I ever empty the half dozen bottles we have I'll look into it. Good to know.

As the thread title suggests, the original question specifically included a camp stove (as well as a grill, a.k.a. BBQ).

"Grill, a.k.a. BBQ."

Now stop that Brian.

You know some reactionary Texan (like me) isn't gonna let that pass.

[Brian B-P]

I couldn't help it... we're talking about what everyone seems to agree can be called a "grill", but the original post specifically said "BBQ". Not passing any judgements here

[Jim Bennett]

Anything with a grill on it, and flame/coals heating it, meant to cook outdoors, has always been referred to as a BBQ by everyone I know, except for some in the southern US.

Yeah, the people who invented the term ...lol

A kayak is a canoe, but a canoe isn't a kayak.

No no no no. You do not want to offend the canoeing and kayaking crowds. A kayak is a kayak, not a canoe. A canoe is a canoe, not a kayak. Very different animals. Although some people do mix them up. We should stick with grills and bbq's. The terminology is much simpler.

[gbaglo]

In fact a kayak is a canoe.
I have the book, "The Canoe" by Kenneth Roberts and Philip Shackleton.
First chapter is "What is a Canoe?"
"In its original sense the word canoe simple means boat. It comes from the language of the Arawak people and was used to denote the vessel they built and used on the waters of the West Indies".
It goes on, but I'm not going to.
The hardcover 10"X12" book, published in 1983, is 280 pages on the history of the canoe. Full of colour and black and white illustrations. ISBN 0-7715-9582-4

[gbaglo]

Thanks for prompting me to drag the book out. Haven't looked at it for years.

[rbryan4]

Its official. Another thread that's gone off the rails. My apologies for my small part in it's demise. I hate it when that happens.

Blame it on Texas!

When you invite people over to your house for a barbecue, you cook the burgers on the grill. I grew up on Long Island and a barbecue and and grill were (and still are) the same thing. It took a bunch of years before I ever got down south for barbecue, where there is a difference grilling and BBQ'ing.

We ended up buying a small Charbroil grill from Camping World that runs on the little propane bottles. I gave up trying to find a grill I liked that would attach to the quick connect. I decided grilling on a table away from the trailer was safer than hanging something on the side. I bought the adapter to refill the small bottles, but the small refillable tanks look promising

It's the middle of January, great time to prepare for next years grilling, er barbecuing season.

[gbaglo]

We don't have a BBQ season. I grill and BBQ year round. Grilled prime rib steaks last Sat. and have a pork shoulder to BBQ this Sat.

Rest assured Bill that when I invite people over to my house for Barbecue, it won't be burgers on the grill. They'd shoot me if I promised Barbecue and delivered burgers.

True enough though that up north they use the term Barbecue to describe an activity rather than the food.

Which reminds me of ordering bacon and eggs and hash browns at a nearby pub. When the waitress brought my plate there was bacon and eggs and deep fried potato chunks. I pointed to the potatoes and said, "these are not hash browns, the menu says hash browns". She responded, "well, we call them hash browns".
To which I said, "you can call a hamburger a New York steak, but that doesn't make it a New York steak".
Never been back to that pub.
It's called Queen's Cross, by the way.

This may be really, really late, but for what it's worth.

In my continuing search for answers for my soon to begin escape trailer camping life I came across this thread on how to hook up camp stove and BBQ to quick connect propane outlet, and I assume it's for the low pressure propane outlet. And I found this product by Propane Gear called Coleman® Roadtrip RV Quick-Connect Kit *GEN 2*-12 Ft.

https://propanegear.com/coleman-road...t-gen-2-12-ft/

And an 8 ft one too at this link:

https://propanegear.com/coleman-road...it-gen-2-8-ft/

Its instruction says no tool is needed, simply plug one hose end into the grill and then connect the quick connect to the trailer propane (again assuming it's the low pressure propane) and that's it. Does it look like it will work? Not sure if anyone is still looking for a solution to directly hook up trailer low pressure propane to grill/BBQ but it looks like it should work if I didn't miss something.

There are a few portable appliances that normally run from high-pressure propane using an included regulator, and have the regulator attached by that style of screw-on connection, which are actually compatible with a 11"WC (standard low-pressure) supply, and have a suitable connector available. The Camp Chef oven is one; it's good to know that this Road Trip (but probably not Coleman stoves in general) is another, and what adapter works.

Although this adapter is made for the Coleman Road Trip grills, it is not a Coleman product; it is from Torjik. This one is their CONVERTA•C adapter; it appears that they also have a CONVERTA•Q adapter for Weber Q grills, but I believe that those Webers can be converted with readily available components.

This all sounds very complicated. We were thinking it would be easy to connect our bbq/camp stove/campfire pit to the quick connect. Guess I shouldn't have made assumptions and checked out the forum first. We are picking up our trailer in about 2 weeks and had ordered the quick connect. I don't think I'm handy enough to try and figure this out for 3 different propane items.From this conversation it seems most people are using the green propane cans or carrying another propane tank. I guess my question is now what do people use the propane quick connect for?
