Product Description
You can BBQ all night long without changing a tank using this 46-inch long high-pressure hose. This is a very popular hose because this hose connects appliances that are designed for disposable cylinders to a 5-20 pounds refillable LP type tanks giving users much longer run times and convience.
Amazon.com Review
Turn a portable gas grill into a standard barbecue that goes the distance with this convenient adapter hose. Perfect for grilling on the go, portables aren't always the best way to go for all-night entertaining. They run on small propane cylinders that can be difficult to dispose of and last no more than a couple of hours. However, thanks to Weber you can have your portability and endurance too. Weber's handy adaptor hose allows you to connect with standard 20-pound tanks of propane for extended cooking times and easy refilling. --Mary Park

 doesn't work well for me January 24, 2006

the small screw on tanks work very well. But when using the adapter hose on a 20 lB tank the flame is too weak to grill, especially when the outside temp is in the 40s or lower.
I've tried slowly turning on the tank valve waiting a bit before lighting the grill, but the flame is still too low. I'll have to wait til summer before I can use the 20# tank with adapter hose again.
EDIT: After trying the procedure below I'm up and cooking again with full force even with it being 35 degress outside.
BYPASS INSTRUCTIONS
GAS GO ANYWHERE, WEBER Q + BABY Q
Since 1995, all regulators on gas barbecues have a safety device which restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate the safety device without having a gas leak. Typically, this occurs if you open the LP tank valve too rapidly, or if the valve + regulator assembly is in a slightly open position when opening the LP tank valve.
Your must remember when you are grilling you should always do the tank valve first and then the valve + regulator assembly when you start grilling or stop grilling. Never turn off the valve + regulator assembly before the tank. Gas is trapped in the valve + regulator assembly and adapter hose and the next time you turn on the tank, that residual gas in the line will back up and trigger the safety device.
Also, when you start grilling, you should open the tank valve V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y, about turn at a time until it is all the way open before you turn on your valve + regulator assembly to light the grill even is it takes 30 seconds to a full minute. If you've just had your tank refilled, it has a lot more pressure in it at first than after you use it for awhile. That may trigger the safety device sometimes, too. These conditions can be recurring. If it happens again, then you will need to go through the reset procedure again.
If you do activate the gas regulator safety device, the barbecue will only reach temperatures between 250 and 300 degrees, even with the valve + regulator assembly on the HIGH setting.
TO RESET THE GAS REGULATOR SAFETY DEVICE:
Open the barbecue lid.
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn valve + regulator assembly to the OFF position.
3. Wait at least 5 minutes if the barbecue had been lit
4. Disconnect the adapter hose from the LP tank.
5. Turn valve + regulator assembly to the HIGH position.
6. Wait at least 2 minutes, then turn valve + regulator assembly to the OFF position.
7. Re-connect the adapter hose to the LP tank.
RE-LIGHTING THE BARBECUE:
Open the barbecue lid.
1. SLOWLY open the LP tank valve 1/4 turns at a time all the way open.
2. With the lid open, turn valve + regulator assembly to the HIGH position.
3. Ignite the grill by pushing the crossover ignition button.
4. After the burner is lit, close the lid.
5. The barbecue should reach 500 to 550 degrees in 10-15 minutes.
WHEN YOU ARE DONE GRILLING:
Turn off the LP tank valve first
Turn valve + regulator assembly to the OFF position.

 Useful, but... September 25, 2004

This product is vulnerable to animals chewing through it. Squirrels destroyed mine, and I read someone else's review that said theirs was destroyed by squirrels or raccoons. The splatter from the fat of the meat that I'm grilling gets on the hose and attracts animals. I could wash it every time I grill, or I could disconnect it and bring it inside, but I think insteat there ought to be some tough coating or metal layer built into it to stop animals.
The grill (Weber Baby Q) is awesome, but I'd recommend not investing in this hose if you're living in an area with squirrels or racoons. Just buy the smaller tanks and suck up the extra cost, 'coz it'll be cheaper than replacing these hoses.
 Great addtion to a great grill August 16, 2005

I'm very pleased that I purchased the 20 lbs tank adapter hose for my Weber Q grill. The Q is our primary grill. We've always used portable grills in this way, but we love the Q so well, we use it much more than other portables we've owned. Also, the Q takes the smaller 14.1 ounce propane tank normally used for torches rather than the 16 ounce camping tanks. It really didn't make practical and economic sense to keep using the small tanks on a grill with the Q's capacity. But still I purchased this item with some trepidation. I'd read AMAZON reviews reporting that squirrels will eat through the grease splattered hose. My property is in an Oak & Hickory grove, so I have squirrels in over abundance. These guys have been known to augment their diets with my garden plants, but gnawing greasy hose sounds much more like mouse & rat behavior. I took a chance. So far no trouble. I'm using a home- built grill table with a 2 X 3 granite top and a generic grill- to- floor length vinyl grill cover. (The weber Q cover only encloses the top of the grill) These might be a factors. A little Capsaicin , (the element in peppers that makes them hot, fond in products like "Squirrel Away"), might help the folks with gnawing issues. The 4" hose is quite long enough to reach from the grill port, under the table to my tank with ease and installation is very simple. I bought the adapter and my very first 20 lbs propane tank the same day and I was grilling that evening. I do agree that it would only improve the adapter if the hose were enclosed in say, metal mesh. But that would undoubtedly increase the price. I think at the current price point the 20 pound hose adapter is a great addition that grants me more use and enjoyment of a great grill. I still think it was worth the risk of rodent interference to get this adapter compared to the cost of 14.1 ounce propane tanks over time. But I admit to hedging my bet, If the hose gets oily, I'm keeping a shaker of cayenne pepper handy to sprinkle on it just in case.....

I bought the Charbroil Model#4623 46" adapter hose from Home Depot for $17 (also at Lowe's @ same price). It is the same hose as Weber but much cheaper. I matched both hoses together and both were identical down to the tags and warnings, the only difference was the packaging and price. The hose works well with 20 lb LP tanks and last way longer than the 14.1oz tanks.
Not enough heat (same as the others) February 12, 2007

I have had the same problems as those who comment below with this adapter hose. I can't grill using the adapter hose because there is not enough gas flowing to the grill. One day the hose would not work and I had an extra small blue tank (portable tank) and hooked that up and it worked fine (so its probably not the cold weather). Something is wrong with the hose. . . review below mentions waiting 60 seconds to turn the gas on the grill. I will go try that now and see if that works if it doesn't then don't waste your money on something that you can't use.
EDIT:
Used the directions below, and that seemed to make the hose work normally, I'll change my rating to 4 stars.
