is it OK to attach the Red Dragon to a gas ball used for a grill and tied to a dolly behind you?

As long as it's propane. The torch is calibrated for propane only. If you are using it for weeds to be honest you don't really want to be draging a gas tank on the ground and using a flame thrower at the same time. I would reccomend getting the backpack tank. If you are using the torch for another stationary use then the standard propane tank on a dolly will work. Aloha.

Hi Diane. We just got our Red Dragon back pack unit this week and used it for the first time yesterday. We started out with it connected to a grill tank attached to a dolly to get a feel for how the unit works. This worked out well for us just remember the hose will be a little short and you shouldn't have a problem. Make sure to strap the tank securely to the dolly.

Certainly. You can connect it to any consumer propane tank, as all are refilled at your local hardware store/fuel dealer from a universal coupling. Make sure all connections are clean (rust & debris free) & tight (not dented or dropped.) A bigger tank will allow you to cover larger areas between refueling. We've been using ours for a couple of seasons and cost savings are huge compared to chemicals. Also, nice to know we're not putting down cancer-causing agents where pets & people walk.

Yes...with this hose. http://www.amazon.com/Camco-57636-BBQ-Adapter-Hose/dp/B00192KZ2Q/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1380668569&sr=8-14&keywords=Olympian+gas+hose

Sure, but butcher them first . As for the pictured "kettle" that works fine on gas as well.

It COULD be used for that, but normally 100 lb cylinders do not have the external acme threads to which this attaches. You would need an adapter sold here on Amazon (search GrillPro 11051).

As some of the other comments here suggest it may not be the safest thing to do. However the maker of the kit sells replacement natural gas burners http://www.bayouclassicdepot.com/natural-gas-jet-burners.htm. If you feel like you need your burner connected to natural gas I would suggest contacting Bayou Classic to inquire about your options.

I've done it many times with no problem. I would imagine a gas burner would cause more damage than am electric burner.

Yes Stran, you can hook it with propane tank. I am using it in my hand made Tandoor and use my BBG grill tank in it

Not directly and it really shouldn't be hooked directly because it would possibly melt the exterior and blow up. You would need a extension black iron pipe to get it out of the appliance chamber so that it doesn't get the heat. The connection needs to be outside the cooking zone. You will also need an adaptor to go from the pipe 1/2"npt (national pipe thread) to the 3/8" that is supplied. You should be able to get this at either a place that sells gas appliances or bring the parts to a good hardware store.

No. It hooks up to your propane tank. It does get hot, the flames stay on the inside of the unit. I would not recommend children playing around it, we use it for a garage/man cave and that is the only thing with it is that the metal does get hot so I wouldn't let people touch it. But it vents on its own. Hope that helps.

Not necessary, When it is attached to your gas line connector it stabilizes it and with the grate over it, we have had no problems .

I have no problem using my attachment it works just fine. I have just about every attachment going for mine, I think its better than having a bunch of different gas powered machines around my garage. Jim

I have a gas stove and there is not a problem! The pot covers the burner and the handle is not in direct line of heat source. Also you will be cranking the handle while its over the flame. Mine works great nothing has fallen apart!!

Yes but you risk losing heat as the coals die. You'd do better with a grill you could add fuel to or a gas grill

Hi Karen, thank you very much for your question. For a properly operating gas grill, you should not have any issues. Occasionally the heat shield or the burners can slide out of position. Sliding everything back in as it should be will alleviate most issues. If there is damage to a burner we recommend replacing it or avoiding that side. Turning the grill down could be a solution as well.The 7" advisement is mainly aimed towards charcoal grills. You want to knock the pile of properly prepared hot coals down. You don't want flaming coals at all. I hope this helps! Have a great day, Jamie Hi Karen, thank you very much for your question. For a properly operating gas grill, you should not have any issues.

I'd say "Yes, but ..." The cable is rated to 700 degrees "for short periods"; flames and coals can be hotter, so you have to be careful where the cable runs. We have a Weber gas grill with a very heavy lid, and they say to avoid pinching it between hot surfaces without insulation. Some grills have an access hole; I'd use that if available, otherwise wrap part of the cable in something fireproof.

I would think that would probably help even out the heat. Just be mindful of the propane hose as I have noticed it gets pretty warm were it attaches to the bottom under the burner. They also make a folding grate for the smaller grill. I have not tried it on the big red campfire as yet.
