Outdoor kitchen stove propane connection

[PoppaT]

2016 Prime Time Crusader 295RST new to me. Outdoor kitchen stove has never been used (not connected to propane). I see the short hose on the stove with male quick connect. I see the five foot hose with female quick connect on one end and male on the other. Where does the male end of the hose connect?


Thanks for assisting this newbie.

Look under the rig in the area of the kitchen and see if there is a propane connection attached to the frame.

Yep... usually down on the frame area below the outdoor stove.
Should look something like this... (the coupler will only connect when the lever is at 90º to the line... once connected, then open lever)

Okay, located. Does it need to be connected/detached every trip? I don't see how I can route the propane line internally and leave it attached.

Two burner Atwood DV20. the right burner worked well, but the left one ignited internally and bubbled up the finish on the cover before I got it shut down. Need to research how to adjust that burner

Thanks for your help.

My brothers SOB (some other brand) had to be connected/disconnected every time they closed up the outdoor kitchen.

As for the burner bubbling up the finish on the cover... the burners are not intended to be lit or used with the cover closed or even partially open.

Maybe I misunderstood what you are saying?

Cover was open, right burner operational.
Left burner requires some adjustment. Instead of the burner, the gap in supply tubing (where it has an open 1/2" gap) ignited instead. The heat under the label caused the label to bubble. See attached photo

Ahh... OK... gotcha.

If I light one burner, then attempt to light the second burner - the first burner will greatly diminish (or extinguish). Even on high, it is almost impossible to operate both burners at the same time. Am I "over" regulated? Do I need to run a dedicated line from the tanks to the outdoor kitchen?

It sounds like that stove has its own regulator designed for high pressure propane and you are feeding it from the low pressure propane on the rig. I removed the regulator from the two burner stove I use to eliminate that problem something to check.
