Gasmate BBQ to bayonet connection
Permalink  

Hi All

First trip in new van starts on the 24th.

Small problem.

I have purchased a Gasmate Cruiser BBQ.

It comes with a 1"-20 UNEF fitting which attaches to the Regulator on the end of the BBQ.

That's all OK, but the other end has the POL fitting which screws into the top of a LPG bottle.

As my van has a bayonet fitting I can not use it.

Is there an adaptor that will convert from POL to bayonet out there somewhere or do I have to get a special hose made up ??

I know I could lug another gas bottle around BUT...........

 

cheers

Kiwimagic.

That is a problem with that type of connection.
If you could connect it to the bayonet fitting on your van then ostensibly will be using 2 regulators which won't work very well.
As you say you can carry another gas bottle say a 2kg. one.

Regards Chris

Hi Kiwimagic I had the same problem with the Weber so I just bought a hose already made up without the regulator from a camping store and swapped it over, I can't remember how much it was but I don't think that it was too expensive.

I did like BB but also have a converter, see pics. Works great for me. I'm sure you could get a hose for your Gasemate.

I had my original fitting altered to a bayonet fitting to suit the then van. The later van didn't have a bayonet so I ordered a new LPG lead  from Gasmate.

I can now use either bottle or bayonet. Current van has bayonet. Great BBQ, easy to clean and heats up quickly. Would not buy any other.
