Propane Outdoor Appliance Upgrade - Curt Sprenger - 11-14-2006 14:20
'Bird Upgrade...Additional Outdoor Propane Appliances...
We will be camping over Thanksgiving. Eight units will attend this camp
out. I'm on the hook to deep fry several turkeys. Have wanted multiple
propane outlets to operate additional appliances, so today, installed
two additional propane outlets at the 'Bird propane tank, and had two
12' hoses made up to connect the appliances. Will probable add a third
outlet as there is room to add it. I did the same thing on our previous
'Bird and it worked great. This set up eliminates hauling the smaller
propane tanks/bottles and makes good use of the 'Bird 35 gallon propane
capacity. I'll take pictures if anyone is interested in seeing this set up.

I have set up a manifold system for the LP, that allows me to power 2
grills, an outdoor heater and fake campfire, all from the one coach LP outlet.
Unregulated LP comes from the BB quick connect via a 6 ft hose to a manifold
I lay on the ground. Based upon the LP appliances I have, I use two
regulators on the manifold - one regulator works for the two grills and heater,
the
campfire required a different regulator. From regular 1, I have piped 3
quick connects, and from regulator 2, one quick connect of a different size.
I use 20 foot extension hoses to reach the LP appliances wherever I place
them. By having the one hose setup with different size ends (quick connects),
I cannot connect the higher pressure LP from the one (campfire) regulator to
the grills or heater.
I use safety connections that do not allow the LP to escape from the hoses
(20 ft of LP is a LOT) when disconnected, but I am also careful to shut off the
LP at the coach and let the LP burn off at the appliances before
disconnecting.
I hope this helps. It is a bit hard to describe. I can take some pictures,
but not until next week due to my schedule.

Curt:
Great idea. I browsed the pictures. It looks like unregulated gas to the
regulators on the appliances. Is that correct?

Curt,
Very nice job. I wish my tank looked that new. It's great to see
you didn't use teflon tape on the joints. That is a no-no on gas
connections, but I sometimes see it non-pofessional work.
In case someone might not know, small pieces of the tape can flake
off and get into the regulators and gas valves and cause
malfunctions. The worst case is that the safety shutoff could get
stuck open.
