does the regulator accept 20lb (BBQ size) propane tanks?

Absolutely! We really love ours anywhere we go, anytime of the year. We got a tank stabilizer, though, so the tank wouldn't br so prone to tipping.

YesBought a new tank at Sam's with a gauge to monitor tank volumeThe cover for the pit is great for storing and hauling

Yes, that's what I am using. Works great! Recommend paying the extra and get the matching cover, keeps the rocks from spilling, holds the hose wrapped around the base, and a handle to carry the whole thing.

Yes. That is what I usually use. No problem. Excellent fire pit. Have been around several I wasn't impressed with. We have really enjoyed this one. Some people have complained about the top and the handle. I may have designed them differently but they work just fine.

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?)

It should. I have it hooked up from a 20 pound tank to a fire bowl (same size as a typical camping grill propane intake.)

As in your house propane/large tank or a tank/small 20 lbs ? in close reading you find this to be a propane grill with a regulator provided to connect to a small propane tanks. if you were going to connect it to your house tank or a large tank, it is best to consult with your local propane contractor/delivery service.

Will work with a bbq tank with the right adapter. check at your local hardware store. You will also need a regulator, also available at your local hardware

It does not say on the regulator whether it is 10 or 20 psi. It is made in China and has no psi marking. I use it with a standard 20lb propane tank. I have brought 8 gallons of water to boil in 20 minutes.

Yes, I use it with a 20lb propane tank, the same as used for a propane grill. You will need to buy a hose that has the correct connection for the stove, and and adapter to connect the hose to the tank.

I don't know the difference. All I know is that it works fine with a standard 20 lb exchangeable propane tank.

No, it requires a regulated gas supply down to a low pressure in inches of water, not tank pressure. Look at a Mr. Heater Buddy heater, they have an internal pressure regulator and are designed to connect directly to a tank such as a small cylinder or a 20 lb grill size tank or larger.

Yes. I use a 20 lb and 40 lb tank (switch out) and have had no problems. I use heater for supplemental heating. I assume because the smaller tanks will lose pressure faster is why they state only a 100 lb tank. I found you need to make sure you have a proper regulator (low pressure).

I think it is ok for 20 lb CO2 tank. I have a 10 lb CO2 used tank bought it from local CO2 supplier in Dallas. I did not have problem to connect this regulator at all. Only need Teflon tapes and a wrench, no leaking whatsoever.

Yes, it states propane gauge & BBQ propane gauge. I tried it on our big 50. Gal tank and it did work so I bought two more for gifts

I am using the standard grill tank. I can't see why you couldn't use the 40# tank if the connections matched. The only time you are using propane is when you are using hot water. Depending upon your application a 20# tank might be large enough. It certainly is for me.

I wouldn't say no problems! Some places have a minimum amount they sell and it's 20 lbs. where I live in norther ca. 90% of the places that sell propane won't fill my tank because of that minimum. Unless you want to buy their minimum amount.

Hello, Amazon asked that I give you my knowledge on this. I have 5, 20, 40 lb propane tanks and the regulators work on each of those. The screw type is the same for all 3 of my tanks. I also bought an adapter that allows me to fill up the 16 oz bottles from my bigger tanks. Haven't heard of a 30lb tank before but would guess it has the same screw thread pattern as all the others. Good Luck, Davis

yes. Whenever I have used this heater in my hot house ,I have always used a 20 gal. propane tank and it works very well.

Usually there will be a regulator on your natural gas meter on the side of your house or at your propane tank outside your home depending on which type of a gas you are using. So yes it does need a regulator , but if your house is running propane or natural gas it already has a regulator in place. I installed my eccotemp FVI-12-LP to a 20lb propane tank using a regulator from a propane shop rated for the water heater btu . Also you can't use those plastic handled hoses that you see on BBQ or rv tank connections because they contain a check valve that will cut the flow of gas to your heater when you fire it up. The check valve thinks there is a gas leak because of the high demand of the water heater, its a safety feature for bbqs. Hope that helps.
