Low pressure camp stove?

[DJ252]

I know that TTs use low pressure propane systems and why.

I know there are adaptors that can be had to hookup to the quick connect but results are less than optimal, if used on a high pressure device.

I know there are adaptors that hook straight to the tanks on the tongue but that isn't what I want.

I've seen it said that Camp Chef stoves can be modded to work but I think that is only the older versions. There is a vid of a new one that didn't work.

I've found 1 (one), from an Australian company, that makes a single model of camp stove for low pressure.

There are replacements available for the small 2 burners, that used to be frequent in outside kitchens but they're for a "built in" application.

I really just want a normal camp stove, that will work from the quick connect.

This can't really be as much of a unicorn as it seems, can it?

OK, I'm not a propane expert even though I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express. As far a I know all propane and natural gas appliances run on low pressure, whether for your RV or house. The only way I could see somethin not working on a quick connect to the trailer is if the regulator to reduce to low pressure is built inside. I know some fire pits may have that problem.

Do you have a link to that Camp Chef that could not be modified?

I looked for the vid of the camp chef mod fail but not finding it.

Here is an article describing different pressures but its several years old.

Low Pressure Propane Camp Stove

Here is a vid of the mods a guy had to do to get it to work.

There has to be a better way.

There are plenty of adapters for Blackstone's. I wonder if that would fit the CampChef. Otherwise I'd get a different brand.

Or they sell adapters/hoses to connect to standard 20lbs tanks. Maybe you can work out something with that.

"There are plenty of adapters for Blackstone's."

Yes, grills don't seem to be a problem.

Its the camp stoves that do and I'd like it hook to the quick connect, not a spare tank.

This is the only one that says it'll do what I want but I'd rather buy local.

I've got nothing against the Aussies, I imagine they build premium gear but I don't imagine parts would be easily come by here in the US.

Weird formatting of that message for some reason and it dropped a youtube link.

Our 3 burner Camp Chef has worked flawlessly off of our trailer's LP connection. Bought the hose from a Camp Chef dealer and never looked back. Just have to remember to pack the other hoae when we go tenting it.

How old is your stove?

I know they made a change on the igniter of the Everest, (doesn't mean they changed anything else) in the last yr. or so and you can see the extent the guy in the first vid had to go through.

I guess I could reach out to them, see what they say.

Found that camp chef fail vid. The problem appears to be, as many on the subject already know, is dbl. regulation. He didn't buy the right hose. If works on the camp chef fire ring but not the stove.

But, here is Camp Chef's quick connect adapter hose. Note the exception.

"Excludes Mountain Series cooking systems"

RV connection hose and More | Camp Chef

Here is their Everest 2X. Note the new regulator.

"This is an updated product with a new regulator."

Everest 2X and More | Camp Chef

On the front page of its manual, it describes it as a high pressure stove.

The Teton 2X doesn't. I'll give them a call, see what is what.

Here is a propane adaptor store.

I'll give them a call too.

X2. All camp stoves run off of low pressure via some type of regulator. Pressure in a propane cylinder is ~240 psi. Without a regulator the camp stove would be a "blow torch". There are plenty of fittings and connectors available to accommodate a camp stove to run off of the RV low pressure system.

Well, I just got off the phone with Coleman. No dice.

Camp Chef, no folding camp stoves. Only the angle iron things and the free standing.

Propanegear. Only the angle iron types and freestanding. Grills and Griddles are no problem Folding camp stoves are.

So, whatever you guys got to work, you either went through a bunch of rigging I was trying to avoid, or they've changed things. And for sure, Camp Chef, HAS changed things.

almost all stoves require low pressure which is why they all come with a PROPRIETARY low pressure adaptor to hook them to 20# or 1# propane canisters...

your solution would be to unscrew the low pressure adaptor on your current stove whichever that may be and screw in a pigtail that hooks to the low-pressure quick-connect hose on the side of your trailer.

I did just that. It took several trips to a couple of hardware stores and cutting a hose but I got my Roadtrip Coleman stove/grill to work just fine from my quick-connect trailer hose.

I eventually found the right pipe fittings for the original Coleman low pressure adaptor to make it whole again for fitting directly to a 20# or even a 1# tank.

I then did the same thing for my Blackstone grill... that is modify it's adaptor hose to work on my trailer pigtail OR a 20# high pressure tank

There are so many different pipe thread connections on the various brands of stoves that it would be impossible to have a universal adapter, so you MUST make your own. Probably a legal/liability angle involved to make it commercially unviable to be done.

If it wasn't raining currently I would send you some pictures of my home-made Coleman adapter. Unfortunately, back when I did this, Coleman did NOT sell their adapters separately... I had to work on my ONLY low-pressure Coleman adapter.... same with Blackstone.

PM me and I will send you pictures if I hear from you.

"PM me and I will send you pictures if I hear from you."

Thanks a bunch. I may take you up on that but I need to nose around on my own for a while first. I have the case of an old Coleman gas stove and could maybe fashion that to house a new drop in 2 burner.

I get the proprietary thing and companies wanting to avoid liability, so there must be something to it, for them to not want to sell an accessory.

Sometimes you just have to use ingenuity. This is my "rig" for Coleman stoves and grills.

Thanks. Its not that I'm afraid of a "project". Its just that I have more than enough of them right now.

Will that fit a new Coleman?

It will fit any Coleman product that uses this type of brass connector.

Low pressure camp stove recommendations

The Coleman Road Trip LXE will work using your rig propane outlet because you can remove the regulator on the BBQ. The Blackstone 22” is also compatible for the same reason.

Yes and neither of those are stoves.

I use a camp chef dual burner stove and I just replaced the stock propane line with regulator with a straight 8-foot line with no regulator, that has the quick connect fitting on the RV end. Works great. I may have called camp chef to verify it would work, but not sure, was many years ago.

 

[GDelage]

Go to Amazon and search camp chef stove RV quick connect adapter and you will get all kinds of hits to use with a camp chef stove. The propane regulator is built into the one pound bottle hookups you just remove that and screw the adaptor to the stove and your good to go. Anything with a regulator is low pressure the reason people fail trying to do this is they don't know or forget the propane to the quick connect is already regulated and with two regulators you will not get enough gas to run your grill stove or whatever. I did this with my Coleman grill and intend to do it with the Blackstone I just purchased works great.
