Yes. There is a high pressure regulator w/ shut-off at the tank still that came with my turkey-fryer burner. I leave that wide open all the time and turn the tank valve off when not in use. So on brew day I just open the tank valve, then when I'm ready to fire up a burner I just turn the control knob a little and click the igniter.
I got the flow-control valves (it looks like the better search term would be "needle valve" instead of flow control valve - my bad) from our junk-drawer at work because we have tons of brass valves, etc. since we do a lot with hydraulics. I don't recall the brand but it looked something like this before I put diff knobs on it:

Before buying one I would make sure you can panel mount it.
Edit: another possibility?:
