Last year out on the Ice I saw a couple of guys who had converted the 18-20lb propane tanks to fit their colman lanterns, and heaters. I've looked all over, RV stores, Meijers, camping stores etc but cannot find them. anybody know where I can get such an aparatus?

Sure be cheaper filling one of those than buying the little 1lb bottles.

Cmon hard water!!!! :16suspect

I use a five foot propane extension hose with a five lb tank. Ordered the hose from Northern tool when I purchased the Mr buddy heater. I think Bass Pro carries the hose. Tim

Anybody have a lead on a Y??

I have 2 shapells and I want to put the tank outside and run a line in through either end when they are butted together.

I picked one up(Y) from Jays a few years ago. Seems like I have seen them around here, just can't remember where.

Try Van Dyke gas on 33 mile and Powell in Romeo.

Wal-Mart and Gander Moutian have "Y" adapters and hose kits. Gander Moutian even had a 11lb re-fillable propane tank you could buy.

Thanks Guys! I think I'll run down to Gander Mtn this weekend and check them out... Gotta hurry cause she's staying under 30 all week. :lol:

I knew I had seen them on the Ice, but the places I was looking were trying to tell me that would be ilegal, unsafe ect... People that don't fish worry me sometimes....

Thanks again, hope to see you on the ice shortly...

also, I have had good luck just checking with the "gas man". A couple years ago, I wanted a custom hose built and he made it for me for $8. Something to check into if you have a "mom & pop" gas (propane) distributor.

Last weekend, a salesman at gander told me to go to Lowes to get the smaller tanks...cheaper. I never made it there, so I don't know if they really have them.

You can go on E-bay also under propane and find fittings and hoses!

5' & 8' hoses to fit 20lb to heater can be found at most Meijers. I also bougt a "connection tree" a lantern screws on th etop (if you want) and it has two connections for hoses.
I used this set-up in the U.P. at duck camp and love it! used the lantern every night and ran a two burner stove and ran a muddy heater each night and did this for 4 days. Still had a 1/4 tank left (20lber).
Man, I save the money compared to 1 lbers!!!
