So, i had an idea that seemed simpler initially. like all my ideas..
I'm trying to run two SP baja burner stoves (because I have them) or another camp style stove, off propane. The idea being that I can mount them in a way that would allow me to take them out and cook outside, without too much hassle.
I like the baja burners because they have a shallow depth and shape underneath that will make them much easier to fit above my fridge, without having to move the whole counter higher, plus they look awesome. I thought about using some backpacking style stoves, and making a metal pan to mount them in, but i have enough projects..
Anyway i have a manchester van style tank under the van, and my biggest question is how to plumb the whole thing. I bought a colman hose adapter that gets me from the tank outlet to a disposible propane canister outlet, then an adapter to go from the disposible propane outlet to the snow peak (lindal valve they call it?) inlet.
So since im powering two stoves I have to run a splitter somewhere, should I do it right after the tank then do two disposable adapter hoses from there, into the snow peak style adapters?
and something else that would help me out, do i need to run a regulator? i'm kind of confused because i thought the stoves take care of that? and if so does it need to be mounted straight to the tank? or can I run it further down the line?
the stoves are being mounted above the fridge, which im trying to keep the cooling bits out in the open, should I be worried about the close proximity of propane lines to all the electronics? maybe make a sealed enclosure for the stove/propane line hookups?
A lot of questions, sorry, propanes not something i want to experiment with and hope it works!
