LPG extension hose for Blackstone

[doughpat]

Hi all,

I promise I've searched, but am having no luck! I've ordered two extension hoses now (from Amazon) for my Blackstone 17" and both of them have arrived with a 5/16" female end (the male end is fine -- goes to the quick connect).

I figured the first hose was just a mistake....but to have two hoses, both showing up with a 5/16" threaded female end? That makes me think I'M the problem. (What's that quote about "when it seems like everyone is the a-hole, you're the a-hole"?)

My understanding is that I need a 3/8" female threaded swivel end.

First I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And then bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Both of them even have a little grey tag that says 5/16".

Yet both of those Amazon listings says they are 3/8" female!

Am I missing something, did I just have two inaccurate sellers?

Looks like the adapter elbow is what I need...

Double checked, this is the one I actually bought.

That Blackstone adapter is available by itself for $13.

Or you can get the hose and adapter together.

Looks like 12' is the magic length.

Just be aware that the Blackstone uses a different adaptor than most other gas grills.

I have searched but found no posts on connecting the Blackstone to the low pressure outlet on the Airstream. My Weber can do it because it depends on the AS regulator. Is there a Blackstone that will do that. I do not want to either connect to the propane tank directly or carry an extra tank.

I believe it's the same for the new trailers that came with it, as it is for everyone that has added it to their trailer. I have the same line that supplies gas for the stove & water heater provide to the quick connect I use for the Blackstone, firepit. It uses the onboard regulator.

The Blackstone 17 inch and 22 inch portables both are easily hooked up to your LP hose from the trailer. All you need is the adapter (and hose which it sounds like you have already). The 17 inch has very uneven heating, the 22 inch is no great, but much better. My travel buddy who does most of the cooking, sold his 17 inch to a co-worker and now uses a Camp Chef with a griddle over one of the burners. I still have my 17 inch but haven't used it in quite a while, as he and his wife do most of the cooking and I supply the salad ;>)

If you don't have a hose, this one would work, as it is the adapter and a 12 ft hose

This connects on in place of the miniature regulator and tube that comes with the griddle for use with one pound bottles.

Just to be clear, there is no regulator required between the AS port and the Blackstone? The Blackstone comes with a regulator that would not be in place in this configuration.

Correct. The gas pressure at the AS port is already regulated by the trailer regulator.
