Does it matter if I use an 11 pound or 20 pound propane tank with this unit?

I do not think it will matter. So long as you have the proper connection, it should be fine. The only thing that might be different is how far you can place the tank from the burner. The hose angle might eat up some of the distance you would otherwise get if the connection was lower.

As long as it is the standard threaded connection, any size tank would work. I routinely hook up to 100# tank of brew club brewing days.

The smaller tank has less volume of gas, propane is liquid that "boils" to a gas that is the actual fuel. In colder weather smaller tanks have a hard time keeping up with high output. Even a 20 lb. tank won't run burner well if it is really cold. Summer or with a hot work light pointed right at the tank then no reason not to use the smaller tank.

You should not have an issue. Just the shorter burn time the lower capacity tank provides.

What do you want to do? This hose is to connect to a tank of 20 lbs and to the stove. I have a Coleman propane stove and buy a 20 lbs propane tank to stop buying 1 lb propane can.

Using the proper hose and regulator most grills that use 1lb tanks can be adapted to use 20lb tanks.

Without going online to review the difference, I can't tell you the difference. I can just tell you I love my lxe. The one pound propane tank lasts for about 10-12 grillings for 2 people. I usually cook on medium at the highest, pull out the sides so they don't get too hot. Easy to maneuver and easy to clean.

No you can not use a 20lb tank. We live in a condo and we love it. A one pound tank works great for us.

The manual says to only use the recommended tanks and says that it's not safe to use others. That doesn't mean that you "can't" use another tank with it, but it probably means that it's inadvisable and likely invalidates the warranty. I have not tried to hook anything other than 1-lb. propane tank to it (Ace Hardware brand), so I can't say for sure what is possible. I can only say that I wouldn't try to do it because I'm pretty squeamish about possible leaks using hardware that's no recommended by the manufacturer.

You can actually actually get the adapter hose for the grill to 20lb tank anywhere. I bought mine from Walmart. Amazon has them, etc. Just make sure you are getting the hose that goes from a small bottle to normal propane, length as desired. I got a longer one so I could stow the 20lb bottle away.

Yes, I purchased a 5 foot hose with adapter and connected my stove to a 20lbs. tank with no problems. My family goes camping often and my sister also uses this method for week long camping vacations. The small propane tanks don't last long enough and packing/buying multiples is inconvenient and just not cost effective. The stove performs just fine and the extra length allows me to place the tank a safe distance. I purchased the high pressure adapter hose here on Amazon (Coleman High-Pressure Propane Hose and Adapter). Hope this helps...

If your grill works with the standard 20# propane tanks you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot (or numerous other places), then it will work with this tank also. If your grill does *not* work with the standard 20# tanks currently for sale, then it also won't work with this tank.Basically, this is just like those standard tanks, only smaller (and therefore holding less propane). The connections are the same. Compatibility is the same. Hope that helps!

Absolutely. I use mine with a 20 lb. tank at home and the smaller portable tanks when I'm camping. Works great either /both ways.

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "larger," but since the device is giving you an estimate of how much propane is left in a tank, I suspect the size would not matter. The device needs to be placed as low on the tank as possible. If you can do that part, I think you would be ok. Good luck!

Yes, it works perfectly if you are planning to to use a 20 lbs tank. The construction of the hose is solid and the adaptor mates perfectly to the grill. Enjoy.

As long as your tank has the right hand male acme thread to match the female acme thread in the hose it will work. The average size of a common 20 pound tank that you can exchange almost anywhere now is about 5 gallons the next size up is a 30 pound tank and they don't recommend you using this hose on that size tank because of the difference in output pressure ratings.

A fire wouldn't last long with a 1 lb canister. And you'd need a hose to connect to it so the propane isn't right next to the fire! Yikes! We use the 20 lb. tank with a hose connected to the fire pit. It lasts several nights. So handy to have where wood fires are not allowed.

I am currently using my weber grill with the 20lb tank size. I bought an adapter hose that allows me to use the big 20lb tank and I can also use the small portable Coleman bottles. Go to your local hardware store and get an adapter hose. I did not modify my grill.

Yes. I have a smaller tank which I use for picnics which is easier to handle instead of the 20lb. tank which I use mainly home. You just have to ensure that both have the same hose connection.

40 lb tank works much better as the 20 lb tank can freeze up if you run it continuously.
