Were looking for a portable propane grill to use with the outlet port on our 190. Any suggestions? ------------- 2018 Sequoia--2018 RP 190 |

Diehard Weber Q person, now the 17" Blackstone. Can do it all. Everything is adaptable. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I'm a Traeger fan. Needs 110 volts but can use an inverter also. Only uses power to run the auger. I have the new Ranger which is a tabletop. Also have a tailgater model available. ------------- 2019 RPOD 190 2017 Chev Colorado 4 X 4 Yellow Lab and English Springer Spaniel |

I use a webber Q , and a 17 inch blackstone. I suppose you could buy the grill top option on the blackstone if you wanted to do a 2 for 1, but I already had the Q. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

That gives me a built-in bias toward Weber grills of any kind. Any idea what a Weber Q is made of? There's absolutely nothing on the Weber web page. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

The Weber Qs.
The lid and cook box are made of cast aluminum. The cooking grates are cast iron, porcelain enameled. The burner is stainless. I had a Weber Q for 13 years, best grill I ever owned. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Well thanks everyone. I've decided to stick with my little portable rectangular Weber charcoal grill for now. Then I can use the charcoal to start the campfire. That pellet Davey Crocket looks like an awesome grill, but a lot to haul around in a Pod. I have the Genesis for home use, but ever since I got a Traeger, the Genesis is gathering dust. Thanks again. ------------- 2018 Sequoia--2018 RP 190 |

Disregard the above post--- upon further consideration of carry a bag of charcoal and a grill, I took some advice from a few here and bought a Weber Q1200. Now the question is, do you run it off a separate propane tank, or with a hose from a quick connect fitting on the camper? ------------- 2018 Sequoia--2018 RP 190 |

If is has a pressure regulator then to run it off the quick connect fitting you have to remove the regulator because the propane at the quick connector is already regulated at the pod's propane tank connector hose. if the grill doesn't have a regulator then it'll work with the quick connect, just need the hose.

Thanks
That hose with quick connection seems to be hard to find. ------------- 2018 Sequoia--2018 RP 190 |

The parts are all available at Amazon. Remember you have to modify your regulator to use the low pressure port. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

modify the regulator as in “removing it “? What other modification can be made. Do most propane grillers here use the Pod tank, or the small portable tanks? ------------- 2018 Sequoia--2018 RP 190 |

Tom, this is getting a bit confusing. Not all of us have a low pressure port. You can't use a regulated grill on the low pressure port, you can't regulate it twice. I have an adapter that allows me to connect multiple devices to my tank. I can use low and high pressure, small and big tanks. I like that. If you have a grill with a regulator, you need to modify it to connect to the low pressure port you have, that's it. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

So sorry to confuse you Mike. As I mentioned earlier, I have a Webber Q grill. They come with a regulator. And yes, the Pod has a regulator and I do understand that I can’t run gas through two regulators. You have mentioned “modifying the regulator “ and lm not clear about what that means. Do you mean removing i the regulator from the grill? That’s all.

| Also looking for clarification here - the blackstone looks like a really cool unit. My pod doesnt have a quick-connect so will be adding one. Not sure what I need to remove on the blackstone to be able to tie into supply lines on the rpod. |

Tom A, yes you need to modify Q for a low pressure port, my friend. Check YouTube. Yes that means removing the grill components. Qs are easily adaptable. Good luck with adding a low pressure line then modifying everyting to remove the regulator.
Ben Herman - why would you add a low pressure line, when you have a regulated grill and you just need to add a port adapter to give you high pressure line. Makes no sense. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Thx Mike - I'll crawl under there in the morning (too hot back in the alley right now) and see what I'm dealing with. I'm pretty handy but no experience with the whys and hows of lp systems.

I use a CAMCO 59123, 4 port T with 2 hoses, check it out, connects directly to your existing propane tank, no mods. Allows you to run propane devices with regs and an extra tank. I like it because I deal only with the tank. It stays connected and does not effect normal ops. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Thx - as Murphy would have it, I just modded my pod a few weeks ago to add a 2nd tank on the tongue. Would have been easy to do this then. But I didn't know about the burning desire I'd develop for the Blackstone 17 griddle (lol).

Yeah, I have extra tank I carry in bed of truck, no mods. I get home my tank moves to the pergola for BBQs, or out in shop to run heater, I like options. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I just found a nice Coleman Roadtrip LXE, new in box on Craigslist for $100. All I need now is a 10' hose so I can connect it to the camper. |
