Does this work on standard bbq tanks? Are they all 20lbs, or are their 40 lb tanks that are common as well.

To my knowledge it only works on the 20 lb tanks, as it is actually a weight scale. 40 lbs would be past the capacity weight limit.

Mine are the standard BBQ size I think 25 pound I have two tanks for a travel trailer and it works great

This gauge has been calibrated to work on the standard 20lb. propane tanks which are 40lb. when full.

Many tanks are now filled with 15lbs propane so 15lbs + avg 17lbs Tare Weight is usually around 32lbs. A full 20lbs propane fill is usually around 37lbs. Check the label to see if it is a 15lb or 20lb fill. A 15lb fill will start this gauge at 3/4 full marker. A 20lb fill will start tis gauge at the full marker.

This gauge is designed and calibrated for 20 lbs. bottles. According to a WARNING sticker on the back of the gauge: "Do not lift any object other than a 20 lbs. propane tank." Yes, 20 lbs. tanks are the common/standard size used on most gas grills.

It is calibrated for 20lb propane tanks which is the standard size for BBQ pits. Same ones you see outside your local stores.

You can actually actually get the adapter hose for the grill to 20lb tank anywhere. I bought mine from Walmart. Amazon has them, etc. Just make sure you are getting the hose that goes from a small bottle to normal propane, length as desired. I got a longer one so I could stow the 20lb bottle away.

i have filled the small one pounds size so you should be able to fill 20#tanks with this tank but will not fill it up all the way full look on ebay they should have a connector. the bad thing is the big tank has to be upside down for the gas to come out. hope this helps

Sorry, I'm using a regular 20lb tank and I have yet to run out. I've had it for quite a while.

20 lb tank is fine. I think you can burn a couple lbs an hour, but it heats up so fast I always turn it off after a 1/2 hr and back on later.

I'm not sure I understand your question. The grill does not come with an LP tank. LP tanks for grills have a standardized size. A standard 20-lb LP tank is approximately 17-1/2" tall by 12-1/8" in diameter.

I use the same size that works with the propane barbecue that I have that way if one runs out I can grab it from the other tank. I also use an exchange that only exchanges that size

No you can not use a 20lb tank. We live in a condo and we love it. A one pound tank works great for us.

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?)

When my 20-lb tank on my grill runs out, instead of going out to fill it and ruining my meal, I just screw this adapter on and then I grab a 1-lb can of propane and screw it onto the other end and I am able to keep on cooking and then fill my 20-lb can later. I hope I have been of help to you.

Absolutely. I use mine with a 20 lb. tank at home and the smaller portable tanks when I'm camping. Works great either /both ways.

Yes, we use ours camping and hook it up to a standard 20lb. propane tank....Works great!

Hi Clyde: It takes the small propane tank (16.4 fl oz.) which actually lasts a very long time. There is an adaptor you can buy for the big, regular propane tank. I have really enjoyed this bbq, it cooks very well and is easy to clean. Good luck.

The manual says to only use the recommended tanks and says that it's not safe to use others. That doesn't mean that you "can't" use another tank with it, but it probably means that it's inadvisable and likely invalidates the warranty. I have not tried to hook anything other than 1-lb. propane tank to it (Ace Hardware brand), so I can't say for sure what is possible. I can only say that I wouldn't try to do it because I'm pretty squeamish about possible leaks using hardware that's no recommended by the manufacturer.

I just got this generator. I ran it from the 20 lb tank, and i looked at the 100 lb tanks at Costco and they had the same connector, so they would work fine. The larger tanks would work if they have the same connector but you would need a hose extension.

yes it does. I have used mine on a 20lb tank which is what everyone calls a 15lb. and I just got a 100lb tank for it.

I have the item installed in my motor home. Very easy to install. The 5 foot hose allows me to hook up a standard 20 pound propane tank and run the stove, water heater, etc. without even opening the valve from the main propane tank. If your threads are the same on the 40 pound tank as a standard 20 pound you could hook the second tank in. Otherwise just put a 20 pound tank attached to the 40 pound tank you are using. The tee is installed between your forty pound tank and the pressure regulator servicing the trailer so pressure is regulated entering the trailer.
