I am new to LP grills. Recently purchased a Weber q 2200. I travel towing a Casita trailer with 2, 20# LP tanks.
I cook most outside the trailer using a Camp Chef propane stove and the Weber q. Both propane cookers have regulators attached to them from the factory. My question is, will the propane delivered to the grill be reduced if I have a regulator on the propane line coming off the propane tank, as well as the one on the grill?
I have read conflicting opinions on the Casita forum.
I tried an experiment last night using 2 regulators. The flame on the q was reduced and the max air temp as measured with the Weber stock hood therm was approx 250F at max setting. I then removed the regulator close to the tank and ran a straight propane tube to the grill, this time the flame was larger and the temp rose to over 400F. I thought I figured it out until I read a statement saying that it is possible that in the 1st case one of the regulators may have automatically reduced the propane flow as it is designed to do.
I will repeat this experiment today, both with the q and the camp stove.
Your comments are appreciated.
