Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try that eventually. When I was on the phone with Weber customer service after I got my performer, they'd told me that the hose wouldn't work. Between the Weber propane firepit and the gas grill, it seems like I always have a big bottle around.

Between the Weber propane firepit and the gas grill, it seems like I always have a big bottle around.There have been some troubles reported with the Q grills when converting over to a large tank.Maybe Weber has gotten gun-shy from that experience.The problems were the Weber regulator, the length of hose (shorter = better) and the particular OPD valve involved.
Get this one instead. I bought 5 of them. You don't need a regulator as the the hose will be connected to your existing regulator. ADAPTER HOSE LP 4FT by BAYOU CLASSIC MfrPartNo MCRI https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M26G432?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
If you have a smaller tank such as a 5-10lb would be even better for portability purposes. Got tired of refilling the 1lb tanks so i just got an adapter for my performers. It only takes about 8 seconds to attach it and maybe less than 5 seconds to disconnect.
