Been looking and looking, learning about high pressure vs. low pressure.

I'm finding some that say they will work, but there doesn't seem to be much.

We mostly cook outside. I've got two camp stoves and we can keep using the little canisters, but it would be nice to find one that will work.

This is a stove, not a grill.

My other question is for Blackstone users. These are flat top grills, only or can you cook in pots on them?
 
Assuming your RV is high pressure, what most people do is add a HP to LP in line for the external ports. This allows flexibility.

You will most likely have to source parts from an LP vendor, and have them install it for you to be safe.

I thought all RV’s were low pressure.

Travel trailers / 5th wheels have high pressure tanks connected to a low pressure regulator at the tank. This device often swaps between tanks and provides an indicator for flowing gas.

Motorhomes have a different setup, but its esentially the same. This is where high pressure *can* be available, although I don't know when it is used if ever.

Depending on what you are needing, you can get high or low pressure.
 
I would call the connection for an outside gas grill an 'extend-a-stay'. You can hook up the grill or add more LP tanks.

What device is that? My understanding is the system is low pressure, many camp stoves operate off high pressure. There in lies the issue.

But I think I’ve located a camp stove that runs on low pressure. Flame King.

I converted our Blackstone Grill / Griddle to run off of our main lp tank it is great. We use the grill as a grill and also an oven. It makes great pizzas and other baked goods. We also use pans on the griddle as a stove top and it works good for that as well.

I run my Blackstone off the onboard tank and I frequently place pans on the grill. It's not as efficient ( takes them longer to reach temperature) as directly over a flame, but sufficient.
 
When we were in our Georgetown, it had a connection near the back on the curbside that was low pressure. It ran a blackstone just fine. The only thing it would not operate was a fish cooker and a portable fire pit. They both require HLP. Ace, Bass Pro, or Cabelas all sell an adapter for the one pound canisters to a hose connection and an adapter to the twenty and forty pound tanks. We carried two ten foot hoses so we could position the blackstone easily.

All stoves are low pressure even if they have a high pressure hose.

What is considered a high pressure stove has a built-in pressure regulator.

The trick here is most RVS have two stage regulators. When you understand this you can see how running a "high pressure " stove on a low pressure line works.

Hope this opens possibilities for you.
