Parts Needed to Connect 20-lb Propane Tank to 2 Camp Stoves

Question:

I run a kind of intense camp kitchen set up. Weve got 2 camp stoves that we run at once - 1 of them has an oven which is awesome but not the point and weve been using a standard propane tank for the oven/stove combo and a 1 lb disposable tank on the other stove. Were wanting to see if theres a way we can run both stoves off of the big standard propane tank? Thanks in advance -

If you're just using a standard 20-lb or 30-lb propane tank you could use something like the Camco Propane "Y" Adapter w/ Handwheel - Male P.O.L. x (2) 1"-20 Male # CAM59893, which will connect to the POL fitting on the container.

After that it gets a little more complicated, but assuming that these appliances have their own regulators, you could then just use something like the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Hose for Small Appliance - Disposable Cylinder Ports - 5' # 100284-60-MBS to connect to your appliances.

If you can tell me what type of connectors are on the appliances and if they've got regulators on them already, I can help you locate the correct hoses and let you know if you need any other parts. I've also linked a helpful article on propane fittings that I recommend having a look at.
