Can I hook up a 100lb propane tank to this? What extra equipment would I need? I would be using this in a chicken coop/lamb fold.

Well, the answer to your question is yes. You can hook the Mr. Heater two stage regulator with hose to your 100lb tank, but you will need the POL to Type 1 adapter to achieve this. On your two stage regulator/ hose you have a Type 1 female connection, so you need the POL to Type 1 male connector to complete what you are doing. You must be hooking your tank and hose to the Mr. Heater Big Buddy Heater with the quick disconnect connector also to do this unless your heater has a quick disconnect. The adapter that you will need is the GrillPro 11051 Universal Fit Pro. I hope this was helpful for you to complete your task and I'm here to help if you need me again. Take care and be safe.

Hello Michael, I thought it necessary to let you know that after using the Mr. Htr Quick disconnect hose with only a one stage regulator on it has become a problem. My Mr. Htr Big Buddy went crazy. I do believe that if it were not for a Higher Power, I could have been in a bad way, or had a bad fire. Now, I'm still using a 100# propane tank on my Mr. Htr Big Buddy with the same hose, but I had to buy another regulator. And yes, the regulator is a two stage regulator and I got it from Lowes. I truly hope all is well with you and that the same Higher Power has covered you with protection and blessings. I would love to hear from you in reply to this note to know that all is well with you.

Not directly. This unit makes it easy to connect an external propane tank to the RV. This pigtail looks just like the one on the firepit (it connects to a tank). The other hose goes from the RV tank to a threaded end that is the same as a 1 lb (disposable) propane tank. You could make it work if you purchased an adapter that adapts a 1lb tank to a refillable tank fitting ( Camco 59213 Female POL/ Male ACME X 1"-20 Male Propane Adapter).

With this you can hook it to an external propane tank. Coleman 2000005062 5-Ft. High-Pressure Hose & Adapter

This is a 2 stage regulator, and it has the POL fitting which should fit into the threads on a 100 lb tank. Based on that, it should work for you. I installed one of these on a 20 lb tank at my hunting cabin to run a 4 burner cooktop and an 18000 btu wall heater. It has worked well for about 3 years so far.

I'm installing mine in my travel trailer. This little drop-in has the same set up as my house range. It can be set up for a any propane tank.

Both the people I know who actually own this grill have gotten themselves the adapter (with hose) that lets you use refillable "20 pound" (and other sizes) propane tanks. There is plenty of room on the bottom rack for a tank this size. This way only the fairly compact (and flexible) hose is dangling from the connection port behind the timer. (And, by the way, WHY did they make timer only capable of 99 minutes time?)

You can get a big propane tank if you buy the hose/adapter for it as well. Otherwise, it will hold a small tank, sorry, I don't know the size of the small tanks, but you can get them at Home Depot in a 2 pack.

No. Must use propane tank. Very poor made unit. Fell apart after 2 days sitting outside. I would not buy again.

This unit comes ready to connect to no smaller than a 100lb. propane tank...it also can be switched over to hook up to your home's gas line. Either way, it MUST be installed by Professional Pool and Plumbing services...it also requires a permit/inspection by your town. It cost me over $1,100 just for the installation. Take a look at the manual for this unit at Pentair's website as well as call them at the number printed on the manual. Also check the codes for your town. Best to get ALL the info. before jumping in. God Bless!

With an adapter hose you can hook it to any size tank you want. I use mine with a 100lb propane tank. That gives me 600+hours of constant heat when the heater is operating on low setting.

I don't believe so,this particular model is to be used with propane tank. However, you may want to research h NatureI don't think so,this model is to be used with LP tank. However,if you bought this model by mistake,you may look into a conversion kitNatural Gas conversion kit though.

Holly you need to have atleast 100lbs of presure to opperate your heater properly.. the normal size of the copper tubing is atleast 1/2 inch.. your heater won't opperate on a regular lp tank like you would hook up to a grill.. plus you must have a regulator from the tank to the heater... good luck

Not sure I understand the question? I use it with a normal portable propane tank.

Yes you can Robert. You might need a different connection hose, but that is exactly what we did. We had our gas provider come out and connect a quick snap valve to our 100lb tank. Then they gave us a hose that works with that type of connection. Now all we have to do is snap it into the new connection and go. Works beautifully.

There is no approved method of using a large tank. I suppose a clever person could rig an an adapter but I do not condone this behavior. Also the heater is supported by the 1 lb bottle, and that would require additional rigging. All in all not worth going against the mfg's recommendations.

As per Mr Heater website certain heaters are not recommended for use with 100 pound tank. Answer is listed under FAQ on their website. Hope this helps.

You might be able to since it's a standard hook up. You might need adapters. I hook it it with a Coleman tower to a large tank.
