Default How do I convert Gas Grill to run off house propane tank???

When we renovated our house, we had our builder put in a propane
fitting on our deck to hook a gas grill to. We recently purchased and
put together a Charbroil grill and are having problems trying to figure
out how to connect it to our deck fitting. I've been told that we
should remove the regulator (grill has side burner and the grill &
burner lines come to a "T" and then into the regulator). Hubby is
disabled so this project is up to me. I've found a pipe that fits over
the regulator end to give me mechanical advantage but haven't been able
to figure out how to hold the "T" firmly and am not sure whether it
turns clockwise or counterclockwise. Any suggestions? Or should I
haul the grill to a gas place and have them do it? (nearest gas co. is
over 50 miles away).


Before you do anything, make sure your grill is suitable for propane. My
Weber grill (natural gas) requires a different burner & valves for bottled
LP gas. One of the two gases burns hotter, I think it's LP.

I don't know if natural gas and propane fittings are different, but I would
not be surprised if they are.
