Smile tried it, did not work

I tried to make my Weber Baby Q100 compatible with my low flow 5er propane outlet. Bought all the stuff, followed the exact specs, components people specified. Tried to configure, the fittings would not work, not the right size. What did I do wrong? So, I just bought an 11 lb small propane tank and fill that along with my 30lb 5er tanks. Same low propane price, don't need the tiny containers that cost 3 buckazoids each. The Q100 is still portable which is a good thing as it is not only configured to work with the 5er. We can take it anywhere!

Jabber2Jake -
Did you remove the regulator from the Weber BabyQ100? In order to use your RV propane source (which is regulated) you need to take the regulator off the BBQ - otherwise it is regulated twice.

It is possible that you got the high pressure quick connect, or the NG quick connect parts. Visually they look the same, however, they are not interchangeable. You need to look for the "low pressure" quick connects, the most common manufacturer is MB Sturgis and it is the model 250 low pressure quick connect, both female and male.

I get all of my stuff from Calore Equipment:

http://caloreequipment.com/products/...cts-plugs.html

They handle the model 250 low pressure LP fittings, along with high pressure LP fittings for both LP and NG uses. If you went to a box store (hardware), you more than likely got the high pressure or the NG versions (that is what they stock for permanent mounting of home style gas grills) and while they do look the same, there are minute differences in the dimensions so that they can't be inadvertantly used in the wrong applications.

Don't care about converting

I am glad that the stuff I bought did not work, because now I have my BabyQ 100 that works with my 11 lb propane tank that will work anywhere. Super portable. And the propane tank can be filled along with my trailer's 30lb tanks at the same low price of refill. What's to dislike? I'm a happy camper!!! Can you convert your BabyQ and still take it to the beach...if your trailer is not tagged along? Just say'n!

Yes, I can . Simply take the regulator that you took off and put the female quick connect on it (like I did). Now the regulator "quick connects" back on and can be used with 1 lb tanks or with the adapter hose, any standard propane tank, 11 lb and up. I routinely throw the Q120 with the regulator re-attached via quick connects back into the truck for "off-site" picnics. Best of both worlds. I can quickly connect to the low-pressure port and utilize the much more "bountiful" twin 30lb tanks on the fiver, or, I can quick connect the regulator back on and use a 1 lb can (which takes up much less storage space than an 11 lb tank). I use the adapter hose at the sticks and bricks when I need the Q120 to augment my big Weber Sterling for large cookouts; allows use of the Q120 with one of my spare 20 lb tanks

Posted on my blog photos and video of my O-Grill hooked up to the Cougar Fifth Wheel

Had it done by guy who's propane supply shop was on Enchanted Trails Camping Resort property just west of Albuquerque off I40. He had all the right connectors and could custom make the hose. Really happy with it.
