Recommended Adapters Needed To Use Small Propane Bottle With Aussie Portable Grill

Question:

Hi! Text taken from your description: On the other side were going to have the connection point for the propane system, this is a quick disconnect right here, this attaches directly to a regulated RV LP gas system .inch Can this BBQ connect to the Coleman propane cylinder? If so, what adapter do I need. A photo would be appreciated. Thank you!

The Aussie grill has a 1/4 inch NPT quick connect adapter. The grill has a 12,000 BTU stainless steel burner. I did some research and found that one of the small 16.4 ounce bottles has about 22,000 BTUs of propane so you could expect to get about an hour and a half from one of those.

To be able to use a small propane bottle like the 16.4 ounce propane throwaways you will first need an adapter like part # CAM59213. One end attaches to the propane bottle.

To connect the # 277-000091 grill you will then need a hose like part # CAM57629. This has the adapter that screws onto the # CAM59213 and the other end is a quick-connect that will fit the grill quick-connect.

I have attached a couple photos and have noted how these items are attached so you can use the smaller propane bottles. If you are going to use a 20-lb propane tank for the grill you will not need the # CAM59213.

I have the Aussie grille, connected with a 20 ft. quick connect hose, to my Travel Trailer's Propane connector. However I cannot get the grille to stay lit. There's plenty of propane on the front of the trailer, I can run my hot water heater and it lights just fine, same with the stove. But when I try to lite the grille, if it lights at all the flame is very weak and will on ly stay lit for about 3 minutes.

I'm not certain what could be preventing the grill from staying lit. The Aussie unit doesn't feature an integrated regulator - so there should just be one regulator on your line (sometimes these grills already have a regulator so when hooked up to another one the pressure ends up being too low). I would just try to make sure your connections are all secure, especially at the grill itself.

@ChrisR Yeah all of that is correct. It acts like there are 2 regulators and it's not getting enough gas...only thats not the case as there is only the regulator that is on the trailer itself. Leak test came back fine so I'm not loosing it anywhere prior to the burner.
