UPDATE! Our regulator from propanegear.com went bad after about 6 months. After a few emails and no response, we decided to try some parts of Amazon. Not only did the parts work well, the adjustable regulator lets us really crank up the flow. WAY more than we need to, but it's nice to have the flexibility. It might also come in handy if we ever get a gas firepit. New links are below!
We likely could have gotten Propane Gear to replace the regulator if we'd sent more follow-up emails. But, I wanted to try less expensive parts from Amazon anyway.
Propane Gear is still a great way to go if you have no idea what connections you need, so we're leaving that part of the original article.
---------------------------------------------
Well over a year after getting our Blackstone Griddle (changinglanesrv.com/blackston..., we still LOVE it and cook on it all the time! But there was always one thing I dreaded about setting it up - the propane hose!
Finding a hose to reach from the propane tank on the RV and connect to the griddle was no problem. I found one on Amazon the first week we had the griddle. The host itself worked just fine and twelve feet was plenty of length to run down inside the propane bay and over to the Blackstone. However, what I didn't know at the time is, because the regulator is on the grill end of the hose, the hose is of the high-pressure variety and VERY stiff!
Uncoiling this stiff hose was always the longest part of the setup. To make the hose usable I would have to bend it in the opposite direction of the coil, running the whole length of the host several times. And, of course it just wanted to coil back up again. Finally, one day while unbending the hose, I got a little too aggressive and broke it! Time to cancel steak night and find another solution!

These are the parts we recently used from Amazon (see note at beginning of article).
✅ Gauge Master Premium Propane Splitter: amzn.to/31B5jvp
✅ GASPRO 4FT 20 PSI Adjustable High Pressure Propane Regulator with Hose: amzn.to/37dcDyx
This regulator and hose will allow me to connect a quick-disconnect fitting to a bracket on the RV frame later on for an even quicker setup.
NOTE: You are responsible for regulating the PSI down. At its full 20PSI, it's like a bonfire under our griddle and likely dangerous to leave that way. USE WITH CAUTION!
✅ Anderson Metals Brass Tube Fitting, Half-Union, 3/8″ Flare x 1/4″ Male Pipe: amzn.to/2H6zGjP
This is to connect the quick-disconnect to the hose from the regulator.
✅ GASPRO 1/4 Inch RV Propane Quick Connect Fitting: amzn.to/2H2VJbd
This connects to the regulator hose using the fitting above.
✅ MENSI 12FT Male/Female Quick-Connect RV Propane Hose for Blackstone Griddles: amzn.to/379rLg9

Chad thanks for the update.
Thank you for the update! I've been racking my heading trying to figure out the parts I need for this. Thank you.
So you get credit for purchase, can you update gaspro flexible HP hose link, get a whoops not found presently. Also waffling between camp chef 2 burner 60,000 and this black stone, have you run into any folks using the camp chef?
Thanks for the tip. Simplicity is king. Love the outtakes. Safe travels!
Your bloopers are the BEST on UA-cam!!! Another great video guys, thank you.....
This looks like a great modification. Thanks for sharing your video to make this improvement. Have a great day.
YES! life changer! our RV has an outdoor kitchen with the quick connect underneath. i just had to buy the blackstone quick adapter and now i cook out at the RV even when we are home! having the sink with hot water right next to me is priceless too!
Your health is most important, Tara. The videos can wait. Always enjoy the quick tip videos. Great video as always!
Totally agree.
Good mod, baked potatoes in the oven and steaks on the grill. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
That’s a cool idea. I like that you have one of your propane tanks on the right side of your camper. Both of mine are together on the left side.
I've been debating whether to do this or not with our Blackstone and watching this just enticed me a little more, especially having the direct links below to know I'm getting the correct parts. :) Thanks for sharing this video guys! Hope we see you guys out there soon!
Great tip, works well for my Blackstone and Weber. The quick release and fittings for both were easy to install and both works well. Thanks again!
Perfect timing for this video! I've been trying to figure out a better way to use my Blackstone as well.
Love the idea of the quick tips! Thanks for the instructions on quick disconnect on propane :) !
You guys are just a wealth of information, great video!
Definitely we always get great info from them!
Our last Motorhome came with a quick disconnect already installed, and made it very easy. Our new Motorhome is 100% Diesel, so, back to the little bottles (pain). Keep the tips vids coming :-).
Love you two thanks again for all you help!
Hey, again, I thoroughly enjoy each new video. I'm a grill nut and would use your set-up for sure when I do get my RV. Happy travels and best of health to both of you.
We are getting into grilling quite a bit as well! We have a Tembo Tusk Skottle, and are picking up a Green Mountain Smoker!
Got the Blackstone and set up after watching your original video and loved it but had the same hookup frustration. Perfect timing with this vid saving me the trouble of figuring out myself. Will follow your lead Chad, thanks!
BAM!! NAILED IT!👌 I have been trying to figure that set up out for a long time for my Blackstone. Thanks so much. I am excited about the simplicity also.
Yeah, great video and tips we will probably be doing the same!
My hubs and I were just talking about this and I said, “ Let’s see if Changing Lanes” has something and Bam! My news feed popped up with this video 😂😂 Great timing and great video!! ❤️❤️
Perfect timing Haha 👍
Good Morning from Texas. We were gifted a 17 inch Blackstone and your video allowed us to make our first experience totally worth it. I went to Propane Gear and got the adapters and was able to connect directly to our rigs quick disconnect. We made fajitas, and they were awesome. Just subscribed and we hope to run into you someday along the road.
Cool setup. Another good video. Thanks Chad and Tara.
I cant believe i just seen this! I thought i had watched everyone of your vids! Thank you and im ordering mine this week!
Thanks for the info and the updates. We have been wrestling with this for our Blackstone and our fire bowl!
Bloopers are GREAT!!!! Keep it up!!! O yea, good information!!
Great video. I've been looking for a way to hook my grill up to my onboard propane tanks and you just showed me how. Thanks and keep the great video's coming.
Same here! Always great info!
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your setup. I've got work to do!
I was looking for your video on the security system you used on the RV and found this. I have been looking for some propane gear. Thanks, guys for all of your videos and info. Tara, you health is the most important, videos can come when you feel better!! Blessings.
You guys are the best bar none!!!! Thank You
And PLEASE keep THE VIDEOS COMING..!!
Typically fuel lines are left hand threads and this is a safety feature so you can’t hook them up to oxygen or when torching. Great vid, this will help us when setting up our grill. Thanks you!
Great video. We love to grill and since I’m making a list of what we want for our RV.. you guys are helping so much with the information..
This was a great tip video. Thank you!
My rv came with a quick disconnect and I bought the blackstone 3 months ago . I have been wanting to get this and now thanks to you I know where to go and what I need thanks to chad / changing lanes
Another great video
Great video guys! I literally have been having the exact same issue and now I have a solution you guys are the best!👍
Holy Crap Batman... you just saved me a bunch of money and research. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for my Blackstone. I’m also going to use this set-up at home because I can’t stand those little green bottles... thanks again Chad and Tara...Pete
It’s funny we were just looking for something similar to that. Thank you👍
Chad and Tara, I have watched almost all of your videos and enjoy them all. Just letting you know I did just purchase an 8’ house with a 3/8 flare to go from my Rv to my black stone. Thanks again for the good info.
Thanks for watching! 😊 Welcome to our channel!
Another great video! To the point but informative. You should make an entire video of just bloopers. Looking forward to next weeks video
That's awesome. Thanks guys. Been a while since I've been able to respond. Was in a serious vehicle accident April 30th. Not able to type. But I'm alive.. Have been watching you though, keeps me calm.
Oh no! Hope you have a speedy recovery!!! 🏥👍🏼
We too went to propane gear to get the 12ft with disconnect for our Blackstone. Good stuff!
Hi Chad. I know this is an older video but wanted to let you know it was very helpful and informative!!
Exactly what I am looking for!! Great video thanks!!
Simplicity is always the best!!
Less hassle and headache.
Very well done... I am getting ready to do a similar Y for a side burner... thanks for not waving your arms around like 95% of UA-camrs...
Love watching your videos. Thanks door all the great tips. Signed up for the fuel card by the way and gave credit to Changing Lanes. Can’t wait to start saving money on fuel.
Thanks, Eileen! 😊
Nice conversion, we really enjoy our quick disconnect. I wish we had a longer hose, but they're too expensive. However I checked there prices, and the 11 foot extension is much less than seen elsewhere. Thank you much. :)
our Flagstaff by forest river has the flexible hose and connection on the frame for the grill-it is great. love the vids. have fun
Thank you so much! I’ve been going crazy trying to solve the exact same problem with my Blackstone 22” and a quick connect. This is exactly what I need.
Be sure to see the updates in the description and comments area... Better and cheaper parts on Amazon. 👍🏼
Wow! Simple and Quick! Great tip! Thank you ! Thank you !
Brendan & Lena
Thanks a million. You just solved my Blackstone quick connect issue 🤔 Love it 💥
Thank you another great video i love the quick disconnect .i have one on my city water connection i did not know they had them for propane
New Grand Design Solitude 375RES-R purchased Jan 2020. We decided to use our Camp Chef grill with griddle plates in a similar way as is being used in this video with the Blackstone grill. We need pretty much the same set-up to make grill life easier. Thanks for all the great tips and links to the parts. Ordering now using your links. I find your videos super helpful, even though we've owned a different, smaller and lighter 5th wheel 7-years prior and are experienced. Y'alls tips, tricks, and helps ROCK!
Congrats on the new GDRV! 👍🏼
Cool option! I figured all campers had the quick connect under camper at a certain spot... Luckily the Fuzion has one under my outdoor tv compartment! I also got my gas line for the Blackstone from Propane Gear and am happy with it. Liking the quick tip videos guys!
To my neighbor Blackstone is an awesome grill and I will not cook anything else but thanks so much for recommending it you are the chef Ramsey of RV World
We bought the kit for our Blackstone and also our Weber Q from PropaneGear.com. They make some really great products! We run ours off the quick disconnect on our Grand Design Imagine.
Thanks for the update! Most folks don't follow up when something goes south.
Love you guys! Great information!
Awesome video guys thanks for the tip
Merry Christmas to all
My wife and I love your channel and those were some great ideas. I was half expecting to see Hank Hill make a short cameo.
Great quick tip video. Make more of these
Bought our Grand Design 351M in January and are going crazy being stuck at home. We were able to go for a three day trip to a local state park before the pandemic. I noticed under the kitchen slide there is a gas quick disconnect for the stove and fridge. Bought a Y adaptor on Amazon and a 24 foot hose to add on the 10 foot I already had. No need for a regulator since it uses the Rig regulator. Works great but I like your idea as well. Love your videos!
good set-up and safe 👍👍
GREAT video guys :) :) :)
Thsnks for the tip. Love you guys. Tara you look so pretty. Your hair is beautiful
We bought a Blackstone based on your "Blackstone/Coleman Showdown" video and absolutely love that thing! I have yet to try the onion volcano, though...
It's not as easy as they make it look! LOL
I replumbed some of the steel pipe for my quick connects under my trailer for a more sturdy mount. The valves shouldn't move or leak but with Murphy's Law, I feel better about any potential leak being on the exterior of my trailer. I may even add a more durable gas valve than the light weight ones that are normally used on these set ups. I am contemplating an interior quick connect for Mr. Heater vs a solid installation without any hoses.
Thanks Guys great job safe travels enjoy all your videos 👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🐶
Interesting gear workaround if your rig doesn't already have a Q.D. on the frame.
Oh, a tip...Don't say "BOOM" when you're working with propane! 😁👍
Awesome Setup ...! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✔✔✔😉
Off subject ...Tara your hair looks great ...glad you are feeling better 🎊
Nice video. Hope everything is good. 🤗
I sure like his technical videos, very informative from a analytical mind. I saved you a Beer too. 9:50
Love the Blackstone but we had a quick connect for our outside kitchen. I bought a 20' hose and the quick connect from them that replaces the regulator on the blackstone. Love your vids and this is the 1st time I was happy about my 5er. Most of the time I kick myself for not getting the toyhauler..LOL.
Your wife is so Vanna! Love you guys!
Awesome!
Our Fuzion came with a hard line under the RV and a quick connect on the curb side from the factory.
Ours has 2 tanks up front side by side and one of those automatic switches.
I do think adding that gas-off device is a good idea! Got to check mine and see if I can use 1 or need 2
Thanks for the info, this just maybe the solution I'm looking for.
Yea love the it takes too.
Nice work.
Great Tip! Thank Y’all!!
Well done!
Nice tip for all the gas grill folks out there. I'm a charcoal griller so we carry all the other stuff.
Charcoal , BY FAR, gives BETTER flavor when grilling... But let's "face it"... we all have gotten a bit lazier with the EASE of turning ON the gas/propane valve !!! :) :) I too am GUILTY of it :(
I also used propane gear to hook up my Blackstone. Love it rather than the little green bottles.
Very nice video. In the same situation right now.
This video will help me in convincing my wife. I’ve been jonesing for a Blackstone grill!
Those black stones are nice! We have a Tembo Tusk Skottle definitely different but we love it.
Nice video! My G.D. Reflection has a quik connector just under the basement door. Already installed from the manufacturer. I'm surprised that yours doesn't.
Thanks!
Actually just bought a similar setup for our BS while camping. Just got tired of buying those overpriced little green bottles. Great simple video!
Thanks. Good ideas and info.
Fantastic!!! Great hack ...
Excellent. Quick Tip
Thanks showing this tip a great video
I already contacted propane gear and they have a solution for our potable propane fire ring to connect to the low pressure connection on the side of our RV
👍
Great video. Very informative. I was a little disappointed that during a 10 minute video about propane there wasn't one reference to "King of the Hill"'. lol.
Thank you for sharing. Your RV may have one quick connect output already. That's been regulated and you can just use quick connect hose hook to your blackstone.
😂😂😂 Good video as always, but l o v e those outtakes!
Yeah they are so real and fun!
Nice, good job
Ordered the hose and attachment to connect to Treadstone before your vid was even over! I already have two quick connects spots outside, one at the outdoor kitchen to hook the kitchen cooktop to, and one at the back of the trailer...I guess in case I want to grill way back there because I smell bad or something...so all I needed was the hose and Treadstone attachment. I quit using the Treadstone because with the little green bottle it never got hot enough to work right. I can't wait to try it on a 30lb bottle! Hope the potatoes turned out OK, lol
Good luck! Hope it all works for you! 👍🏼
Great video! I'll check it out!
Nice RUBBER hose. Likely even more convenient in cold temperatures ! Synthetic hoses tend to be temporary and very unnatural to bend and of course cheap.
On our 381m there is a quick connect propane for the stove/fridge on the slideout. Maybe I’ll look into placing a disconnect wye on that fitting and then it can run off both propane tanks. I like the idea and appreciate the look at getting the blackstone hose
I'm surprised that you're camper did not come with a connection for propane like ours did on the bottom near the rear. Love the endings with the outtakes, and great video.
Our 2015 had connections, or newer 2017 dosen't so strange.
I have heard that the flexible propane hoses can break down inside and leach an oily substance into regulators and orifices causing problems. The stiff ones are stiff because they are made of something that can hold up to propane. This came from an RV tech. Just passing this along FYI.
A squirrel chewed on our propane line at 3 am. We woke up with that smell in and around the travel trailer. Lost all the propane and it was very cool, thank goodness I put in a small electric heater. It could have been a raccoon but either way it was no way to wake up.
