I struggled for hours with this, great video but one thing you have to mention... once connected turn gas on at the bottle then wait a minute for it to pressurize before lighting, otherwise you will get a low flame and it will burn out, also make sure to burn off excess gas before disconnect, hope it helps someone
I was getting tired of the green bottles and needed to know if I could use a big tank for my camp grill, and if so, what I would need to make that happen. This narrator seems like the kind of fella that knows his way around a propane tank, and related accessories. My question answered and this video was very helpful…I tell you h’wattt :)
You should make a direct link to the product on amazon in the description of the video. Somehow you get a cut when someone buys one of those things. I'd use your link.
Excellent and brief. I was in the hardware store yesterday and totally confused at the numerous hoses and adapters that claimed to work, some with regulators and some without. All with different size connections and none with instructions. I became frustrated and left. You said it right away, pointing to the regulator that is built in to the stove's 1 lb. propane connection.Thanks!
Mr. Hank. TOTALLY, TOTALLY Thank you for this video. This video is straight to the point with the info that is needed to make this conversion. And to Joshua B. thank you as well for that extra info.
If you wanna get warm When you're down on the farm Propane If you live in the sticks And your income is fixed Propane Its so high, its so high, its so high Propane When your grandma gets old You can't let her get cold Propane When your cousin, she's hot But your fingers are not Propane When your tank's out of gas And you're freezing your ass Propane When you think that you're stuck Here comes that ol' big truck Propane
"If your not cooking with propane your not cooking right." So true, grilled meat tastes so much better than on a electric stove, coal also adds a slight better taste to meat but propane is fine and lasts more. Now I need to buy this adapter and hose, great.
Kiraro The Kitsune it's all about instant cooking. when camping that's a big time saver. and there's no coals burning when you leave your site. but we all know charcoal tastes best.
I was wondering sir. Were you able to use your appliance without purchasing a regulator? I have a Coleman camping cook stove and want to use my 20lb tank instead of the 1lb green tanks which can get quite expensive. Thanks.
hey! thanks for the video! wondering if anyone in here has had a problem with this coleman setup? i just bought it and tested this method earlier, it seemed like the gas was stuck at the propane connection and did not go thru the tube to the regulator… and so could it be bc the tank valve looks super weathered and rusted?
I was hoping to see exactly how they hose attaches to the stove. The Coleman 285 has the propane attachment on the bottom. Do I just need them hose or some other piece with the hose? Thanks Bob
lol he sounds just like hank hill. 😄😄 thats my favorite cartoon. ima do this. im tired of buying the little green bottles. i like using the big propane tanks. it last between 6 to 8 months. depending on how much u cook. i BBQ ALOT.
hoohoohoblin do you have a video on converting a Classic Coleman camp stove with the red fuel tank to where it can be used as a propane burning stove? A friend of mine is burned out (pun intended) on the cost and hassle associated with the red tank and fuel. Thanks in advance!
Does someone know if standart camping stove regulator is enough for large tank? or I need to buy separate regulator for large tank? I can't find this on internet.. on this video it works, but I just want to make sure its safe
Go to the Outdoor section of Walmart, buy the hose by Coleman. Works with my Coleman stove series 5469 hooked up to a 30 lb bulk tank. Make sure to check your install with some soapy water b4 lighting up and ALWAYS follow the manufacturers' safety guidelines.
The gas regulator should work with a large tank. However, large tanks may have a different connection fitting than the stove regulator. So you may need to buy the correct adaptor. In my country, most camping stoves & small gas tanks use a 3/8" fitting or (rarer) Primus fitting. Bigger tanks (> 10 pounds) usually have a different fitting.
Did I miss something? I didn't see when you actually show "How to Connect a Camp Stove To A Big Propane Tank". Do you just remove the hose out the box and it's ready to connect? I saw in another video where the guy does some adjustments. Please help as I haven't bought the hose yet. Thanks for now.
The pressure regulator is in that brass metal arm screwed into the side of the camp stove and also attached to the gas hose. Those little camp stove pressure regulators often have problems, but you need them to match up hose fittings I guess.
The directions for mine literally says that I can’t use the internal regulator with a big tank and that I can only use the smaller ones. You should definitely be using an external regulator with that. I’m trying to figure out how to adapt mine
Man I've been boondocking out of my prius for 5 months now. I consume so many 16oz cylinders. It really adds up over time. I might be insane to carry the big tank though. The Texan in me says it can be safe but idk.
I know you can refill those 16 ounce cylinders from a big propane tank as well. I’m not exactly sure how to do it, but people have done RUclips videos about that, so you could bring a bunch of little tanks and just refill them whenever you can get to a big tank.
I'm trying not to use the 1-pound cannisters but the 15-pound container is running out quickly. I've been turning it off. It was okay with the cannisters, but when I light it now the flame sputters.and I can't get a full flame on either burner. I'm new to camp stoves and propane so feel free to be condescending. 😉
I would like to get rid of that stupid regulator pipe. I've gone through 3 of them in the last couple of years. At $16/ea I've spent almost as much on replacements as the stove!
I opened the stove and it was easy as swapping the fitting to a1/4 to 3/8th Npt reducing coupler that will allow you to hook it to a low pressure gas grill regulator. I couldn't find an off the shelf fitting it may not exist.
How do you make a old propane camp stove adapt to a 20 pound bbq tank. I bought the hose to do it and it doesn’t fit the regulator on my stove. I’ve got a new regulator on order hoping that it will fix my problem. I don’t want to get rid of my stove cause I bought it used off of a hiker for 25 bucks. And it works perfectly fine on the little bottles
I have a weber performer and it has a propane ignition to light my charcoal. Finally sold my gas grill and now I have $75 burning a hole in my pocket. Might pick this adapter up!
What would we do without Hank - the expert in all things propane? The little bottles can be refilled with an adapter made for that purpose. However the cost difference in using a 20 # tank exclusively is enough to warrant the purchase of the hose. BTW, someone should tell Dale that his old lady has been rattling box springs with John Redcorn.
I think I may have a bad hose. First... Stove works fine with 1 lb bottle. Hooked up this hose to the 20 lb tank and stove. Can see hose pressurize when I turn valve on tank, but so little gas is coming thru, that won't light. Tried a brand new tank, and still would not work. Got to be a problem with hose... so back to Amazon for another.
problem is the pressure from the large tank, the stove regulator shuts down the gas flow. try opening the tank valve very slightly, about 1/8 turn seems to work
And incidently you have to have the colman brand adapter hose or it won't work. I'm not the only one who tried using a different brand then Coleman and ended up not working. I got one Walmart sold and recommended for the Mr Heater vent free heater. I'm guessing there's a clearance difference in the two.
Just ordered the Coleman propane hose connector item you showed, from Amazon. Price was just under $20.00 plus sales tax. Free Prime 2 day delivery. Thanks. Now, I need to find a local tank supplier 98264 to get a better price tank and first fill. Will use the stove for emergency cooking when we have power outages or when I don't want splatter in the kitchen but only outside on the balcony. Don't want any hint of carbon monoxide.
Can this hose also be used on the Coleman gladiator high pressure stoves ? does anyone know as I am in the Uk I have the stove and the hose just a bit unsure of using it.
any idea how to take the regulator off the stove if hooking into an RV gas quick connect from the side of the camper? LP is alreadt coming from the regulator on the rig...
I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but is that your normal voice or are you trying to sound like Hank Hill from King of the Hill? Your voice your zeal for propane this is awesome! and exactly the info I ws looking for, so thank you.
Dude I was not expecting to hear you sound like frkn Hank Hill. You're a legend

Dude thanks. I was struggling haha
Thank you!
To burn off the excess gas, I close the valve on the tank first and let the flame extinguish itself, right, then close the valve on the stove?
@@Sr_iRL yes sir!
My grill doesn't have a regulator so after buying this hose how do I regulate the gas?

Hi, what part is connecting the hose and the stove? May I know what do you call that? I need to buy that thing thanks! :)
My stove came with that piece.
Maybe the perfect video

Can it safely connect to a 40# tank?

Easy peasy! Thanks brother!

When I turn my gas all the way my regulartor closes on my coleman stove. But if I open my gas a tiny bit it works just fine
So the hose with the regulator is not necessary?
Propane is better than electric but imo the older liquid fuel colemans are the ultimate👌 propane is just a bit cheaper lol
