I have a side burner in a kitchen island that I want to hook up to an LP tank. There's no Weber gas grill involved, but there is a WSM in the diagram below, so I am hoping you guys can help. I know zero about LP gas safety. Here's the layout:
I want to run a 12' propane gas line from the side burner, straight down to the bottom of the island, then across to the LP tank drawer (under the big SS-box-enclosed drawer) then up to the top of a tank in the LP tank drawer. The gas line will follow the crude red line in the pic. I have some fuel line insulation (from a drag racing application) that I can install on the gas line from the side burner downward where the LP gas line passes closest to the firebox of the grill. Is that necessary? The LP tank drawer is vented. Should I install another vent in the island close to the ground in the same horizontal placement as the side burner on the back wall of the island that faces the back yard? Do I need a heat shield between the LP tank drawer and the grill? The entire island is made of metal frame and cement board.
Here is the hose and regulator:

Another question. Here is the connection of the LP line and the side burner:
Should I use plumber's tape or dope on this connection?
The island is long enough to do a test fit of the burner, hose and tank. I plan to do my leak testing at that point. Do I need to repeat the leak test when it is installed inside the island?
Thanks for your help.
TL;DR
1) Is the basic setup as diagrammed safe?
2) Are insulation for the fuel line, additional island vents, or a heat shield for the tank drawer needed?
3) Do I need tape or dope on the connection of the fuel line to the sideburner?
