While I haven't bought an adapter like this and don't have a reason to, it's great to know. You may be saving some lives other than your own. Well done.

Thank you for this LIFE SAVING information. I recently made a set up like this for the same reason but have only briefly tested it. I really appreciate the video.

Not "dumb luck" but a Higher Power watching over you.

I was going to do this. Thank you!!!! Glad you're fine.

You saved my family's life we were going to do this today but something told me to look it up first

Thanks. I was thinking of doing the same thing 😅 I now realized the larger stoves in other vids i’m trying to learn from have a pipe attachment AWAY from the heat. Glad you’re safe!

Wow dude you are so lucky. Good to tell this story.

Are you not suppose to turn off the gas at source when not in use? Kind of makes sense that there will be a heat transfer when the connection is directly below a flame

Probably safer to buy one of the refill adapters and fill the 1 lb tanks off a 20 lb. Crimp connections in hoses don't react well to heat. Learned my lesson, was replacing air brake hoses on a truck. The truck was from a hatchery and they used a disinfectant that corroded everything. I cut the hose off and had the fitting in a vice and was heating it with a torch to try and extract the hose fitting from another fitting and the bit of hose blew out of the crimp like a speeding bullet. Was lucky I was not standing over it

I just bought one of those hoses and was going to do exactly what you did. THANK YOU!

Glad you were safe out of this experience!

I was thinking of constructing something similar. Great advice, I won’t try it then. :) those little coleman stoves are awesome.

That’s good to know and yet another reason I love wood stoves for heating/cooking vs pressurized propane. Great video.

Thanks for the tip buddy I'm looking for a burner myself. I will be making sure it has a heavy duty pressure line on it thanks again.

in other countries the burner plate connects directly to bigger size gas cylinder like 5lb, but they dont do that here in usa, i wonder why.

plus You needed a filter too to stop Oil from getting Into the burner but the best heaters stoves are them where the pressure regulator Is at the tank

Wow thank you glad your still here

Your warning has been much appreciated. The General rule of thumb is to do not have anything less than 12 inches from a double wall, fuel burning appliance that is not flame resistant. With a single wall, that extends to 24 inches. In my opinion, a 24 inch copper line would've served you fine for the feed line.

Thanks for the heads up man! Glad your totally fine after that!

I had the same failure using a buddy heater in a tent trailer... but the stove was on when the line let go. I woke up to a ball of fire, bailed out through the velcro panel in the tent side, reached in and shut off the heater and propane.

@@pattiannepascual the buddy heater has a built-in regulator so you need an adapter hose to run the larger tanks since they use different threading. Same is true on my Camp Chef stove/oven combo and anything else that has a regulator/attachment meant for the 1lb tanks

Be careful with the camper stove as well. People salvage them from campers but never install them the way they were in the camper with appropriate venting. There is usually a metal vent that is installed through the roof of the camper or out through the wall. The assess panel works as an vent also. Don’t cover it. Install camper units, stove, fridges and furnaces exactly as they were in the camper. Some setups have both the small chimney stack pipe with roof cap and the louvered vent at the back. Diy’ers often don’t salvage or use these vents when reinstalling stoves and fridges in cabins or workshops. This makes the new installation extremely dangerous. Open flame combustion can be very safe if installed properly. Additionally a (blow back prevention valve) is available at most hardware stores for gas lines. A propane line can suck flame back through the line to the tank in the event of a damaged line. This blow back valve prevents any pressure or flame from going in the opposite direction to the tank. Mandatory in many states and an inexpensive safety measure everywhere. Hope this helps. Retired inspector including propane installations. Be safe not sorry.

i prefer not to use direct bottle mount or rubber lines. I like the small square base ones, with hard line and regulator. You may have to prop the bottle at a 45 angle with a rock or digging out dirt, but this makes it very stable and you can feel if the hardline gets warm or not. rubber lines need a LOT of air clearance near the heat source

Thank you so much for sharing this tip! You could save a life!

I'm saying he just might have mine. I'm kinda buggin out how close this just came.

Always use Teflon tape on the threads, and make sure you spray either soapy water or windex to check for leaks ALWAYS!!

I've also read that (I think dickinson marine but not 100% sure..If you want me to find it, just ask and I'll hunt it down) it's better that no type of tape be used near their burner. I think this was for the joint near the burner of their cosy cabin heater. Yes, I found that odd too, unless the heat at that point exceeds 268 degrees C, Teflon's limits.

That's funny. I got the same idea as you. Made my stove stand out of a few soup cans. Except mine failed while cooking. Cost me a fire extinguisher and lots of cleaning.

Look into refillable 1 pound tanks.

Hey man thanks so much for posting this! You might have saved my life! Thanks again

I was about to do this !! Thank you so much !!

Thank you.

Thanks

Damn my man. I'm in home Depot right now looking to do the igzact same thing you did. Buy one of these hoses to use for that igzact burner cause im sick of spending money on the little tanks. In my situation and what I WAS going to use it for.....I'm glad I so happen to come across this video, watching, standing in the isle with the hose in hand ready to buy. Fuuuu@# that. Good lookin out!

This is some seriously scarry info.

Damn! I was gonna do just that. I will not now. Thanks! Subbed.

Good for you to share.

Eeeek thanks I was wondering about doing that incase old man winter came with anger glad you said something 🥴🥴🥴🥴

I have one on them burners, I cook off of it, great information, that it gets hot all the way dowm

Thanks for the video. I was just looking into getting one of these. Maybe better to just get an adapter to refill to small bottles off the big tank. My setup is more for grid down situations, not regular use.

that Is what I discovered a few years ago, Nothing happened but I noticed how It was heating up the tank and decided that just Not right this also goes for them Butane heaters too so I bought a Stansport propane burnner that has the metal tube that extends away from the burnner, oh I use It Indoors so I must be carbon monoxide resistant.

Hard to say. The main problem seems to have been that the hose just got too damn hot, which probably would have happened with a regulator. OTOH, at a lower pressure, the hose might not have blown out.

Some propane regulators are designed to significantly reduce the flow of gas if it senses an excess flow of propane. It may not have stopped the hose from blowing off but it could have prevented a catastrophic release of propane. The keyword here is "reduce" as it doesn't completely stop the flow of propane, it only reduces the flow to a trickle.

"PROBLY" is not a word.

Look into the MSR pocket rocket deluxe. Why would you go to sleep with a stove like that (or any) lit?? Glad you survived. Now you need a T-Shirt saying "I survived by dumb luck'".

Same with refilling those tanks, you physically can try, especially with the variety of fittings you can find on eBay they will sell anything; however, that doesn’t mean you should do that. There is a reason there is another valve on these tanks because that is how they are filled. When you try to push gas past the inlet it freezes open I hope you’re not holding a cigarette because once your hand freezes to one of the tanks you aren’t going very far at all and it is spewing at a rate fast enough to cause anything to stick to it. The flatulence of this guess absolutely can be Ignited by the smallest spark including but not limited to lighters refrigerator compressors, automotive air-conditioning compressors especially can’t create sparks. I’m surprised they do not say to turn your air conditioning or heat off but instead they say teacher in the entire vehicle off this is the best idea but who wants to learn firsthand why they say not to do things? Someone has already won that Darwin award if you want to go on ahead for the sake of humanity prior to spreading your seed

This is scary, my ex girlfriend's ex boyfriend lit their hot water heater outside where the water heater is and the burner malfunctioned and he basically lit a blow torch and wasn't familiar with propane water heaters and didn't know, I guess he went back into the house and it was super loud, they run next door and got her dad and he immediately went out to the little room outside and he said the water heater was glowing and said it was like a freaking flame thrower. He replaced the burner and there's never been a problem since.

It was foolish to leave that stove unattended much less go to sleep with it on.

Scary
