Can you use a 5 gallon propane tank on this model?

It's electric, not gas. However, there may be adaptors to convert, but I don't know.

Yes, but you need to buy the adapter hose, which is an accessory item. No. 6501. Jim

Yes, but it requires a purchase of an adapter which is only $15 at any hardware store.

Yes you would need a hose to connect the propane tank. I use a hose with 5 # & 10# tanks.

I would like to use the larger size propane tank with this grill. Is it safet to do that and were could I buy a supply line to connect the two?

No it will not fit the 5.5 gallon kit tank sold at Petsmart. I had that kit and bought this canopy for it. It is a little too long. It does however, fit the 5.5 gallon tanks sold at PetCo. I had to go buy the tank at PetCo to get this canopy to fit. It works great on the tank from PetCo. To be sure I took the canopy in to PetCo and placed it on one of their 5.5 gallon tanks. Fit like a glove!

This cook top can be hooked up to regular sized (5 gallon or more) propane tanks.

Your 3.5 gallon tank would be too small for this heater because I use it in my 5.5 gallon Top Fin tank and the length of this heater fits just perfectly in there vertically. It is safer to use this heater in a 5 gallon or more size tank but not less.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

You could use any size tank. I use the one my BBQ grill came with. Actually I bought a second one for the stove.

You can if you have the adapter to do so. You still need a propane hose with a regulator in it though

Yes, you can connect to larger propane, provided you have to buy a connector,which is sold separately

Not sure. I dont think so but I highly recommend to do it if you. The refilling of the smaller propane tanks is a hastle. I even bought 3 of these tanks so I could minimize the back and forth to get them refilled.

Hose is designed for 20 lb tank of propane. Don't know about 5 gallon tank.

You sure can. I added one to mine. Just make sure it is a heater for under a five gallon tank

It'll heat a 5 gallon tank just fine. Be sure to purchase a thermostat, if you don't have one already.

Yes you can. To save money you should find one that is made for 5 gallons or smaller. Basically you're paying for the size. If you get one made for 200 gallons you can use it too, it'll just heat up to its degree you set, (78-82F is ideal). But if you got a 5 gal one and tried to warm a 200 gal one it won't work because the power is too low and too small. So yes you can use this but for cost find something made for a 5-7gal.

No, you can't use the 5 gal air tank. The Discovery needs 2000 psi of air. That means you either need a scuba tank, the air pump made for it or a scuba air compressor to fill the gun to that pressure. Normal air compressors don't go over 150 psi ( pounds per square inch ) .

Yes - I use the propane tank from my grill. I use this unit to brew beer - it works great.
