Title: Using 1 gas bottle (3.7kg) to feed 2 cookers
Post by: Xoe01 on November 15, 2013, 06:27:51 PM: Hi
I have a great kitchen in my camel bushman plus camper trailer, but I want to make it better.

I have a smev 3 burner cooktop that is connected up to a 3.7kg gas bottle on the side of the trailer, but I want to buy a little everdure neo buddy for cooking steaks/sausages etc outside of the annex, but I want to have it hooked up to the same gas bottle?

Can this be done and what piece do I need?? I'm sure it's basic question... But.... ????

I've attached a picture of the current gas bottle set-up.....(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/15/jyga9ezu.jpg)

I am currently working on the same set-up with the same BBQ and I was looking at putting a tee under your existing cooktop connection to a bayonett point at the end of the kitchen. On the BBQ I am putting a 3/8 female x flare 90' on the existing BBQ point and then connection a 3/8 x 1200mm long bayonett hose into the end of the kitchen when needed to BBQ. Following are a few photos of my set up I am working on. I am doing the same at end of BBQ however to connect gas system to kitchen am doing it via another bayonet hose to the cooktop and BBQ point so I can disconnect when kitchen is closed. Hope this helps. Am doing all myself as I am a gasfitter (helps sometimes).

cheers marty
