Performer Stainless Propane Question
« on: June 12, 2015, 05:35:30 AM »
I just bought a green SS Performer on Craigslist. In pretty decent shape, just missing the rack on the bottom and the 5lb propane tank. I have found the tank online, but was wondering if a normal 20lb propane tank would work the same or if the regulators/valves are different.

Also, if anyone would know where to find that bottom rack?

New to all this, so bear with me.

Welcome to the WKC.

Yes a 20lb tank will work with the regulator but depending on the fitting you have, might need to swap it for an "ACME" nut.

@Hoosier I have a rack if you want it , I've also made one out of wood as a replacement , I also want to build one out of expanded metal mesh thought that would look cool . Any way you have options :)

Mine came with a 2olb tank and a longer hose, i didn't like it sitting on the bottom rack as i move mine in and out of my C-van, so i swapped it for the 5lb tank from a friend and have a new one sitting here to fill when i get a chance.
