Re: Propane adaptor for hooking up small-cylinder appliances to a 20# tank?

Or save a bunch of money and have it refilled.

appropriate).

Is this flexibility possible, without going to a machine shop? Is it
illegal or dangerous? We are new to this.

Another idea..is it possible and practical to refill the small
disposable cylinders from our 20-pound tank?

Thanks for any help with this.

Go to your local Walmart and buy an adaptor hose ready made.  I did and use it
lots.  Much nicer then the little cans that you can also buy there.  When the
20 lb tank runs all just exchange it at most any Walmart, gas station, or
Lowes.
