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.

The LP5500 unit is designed for use with a 20 lb. or 30 lb. tank, but can be utilized with a larger tank. To ensure the unit will properly attach to your larger LP tank, we recommend contacting a local plumber, or the propane company that supplied the tank. Generac does not offer a kit or parts to attach to any other tank, but your local plumber should be able to ensure your connections are proper and meet your local code. The regulator inlet pressure from an LP tank should be between 30 and 100 psi. Please note that any damage to the unit due to utilizing a larger tank will not be covered under warranty.

If connections are the same, yes. If it's larger than a 30lb tank it would not fit in rack on unit

No, you will need an adapter -- something along the lines of http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001H9K7WY to adapt the propane tank connection to 1/4" NPT.

if your appliance uses the small bottles that screw onto it then yes.. yes this is the hose you want to run the larger white propane tanks that are used on bbq's and rv's.. great addition to any propane appliance and the hose is long enough to have the bottle away from the heat source,,

I believe that a larger propane tank could be used with this grill if you had the correct adapter. The threads on the grill are for the smaller propane tanks used with lanterns and the like. I have an adapter that I can use with a large propane tank to connect a lantern head to it. That said, there is really no need to use a large propane tank given that the propane is only on for about 5 minutes to start the charcoal. I have also used the small propane tanks used for soldering and sweating pipe joints as they as typically a little cheaper than the ones designed for camping and can be found at any hardware store.

If you're going to hook it to a propane TANK then you need the adapter/hose. If you hook it up to a small cylinder which you typically find in the sporting goods section, no, it has the connector.

you'll need an adapter to go from the OPD connection on your bulk tank to the connector on the Coleman hose. I use a tee connector so I can connect two things to my bulk tank at the same time, i.e. propane light or heater.

As the other person stated, you cannot just connect a gas line to a device that is designed to burn propane. Appropriate chages would need to be made. You can contract the manufacturer to see if they have a kit to allow the change. Insofar as the actual piping work to make the connection, you can do this yourself if you are familiar with working with pipe fittings, copper tubing, flaring tools, etc. Just be careful and soap bubble test all of your connections.

Yes I used it with a large tank. You can find a camper to grill hose online.

No, it is set up for the disposable tanks. If you want to hook the grill up to a larger tank you must buy a longer hose w/adapter.

Yes you can. But you need to buy a hose adapter that screws into the grill.

You can but the stand will not hold/carry the larger tank. You will also need to use Weber Q Adapter Hose to reach the tank.

It is not a coupler bur more like an "adapter" if you want to extend the distance of your propane tank away from your grill by allowing you to add an extension propane hose. It WILL NOT connect to your propane tank, but will connect the extension propane hose to the short hose connected on your grill so that the tank can be remotely placed away from the fire. I bought it along with an extension hose simply because my propane tank sat (literally) under my 3rd burner!

No. It hooks up to the same 20# tanks that you would use on a gas grill or fish cooker.

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

I am sure you can, it uses standard LP connections. I use this with my RV and I just carry 4 extra regular (Grill size) LP tanks with me........ Each tank last about 14 hrs continuous and that is 4 good days at the bike rally!

Mine came with a hook up for propane tank. I can't say if you can use natural gas or not.

I used mine with the large barbecue style propane tank. I connected the tank to my Coleman Road Trip grill, a lantern and the coffee maker.
