Using grill controllers on a propane cooker

So first off, thanks. This is my first post, though I have stalked this forum for answers for years. It is a great resource, and I really appreciate it.

After years of extract brewing and the occasional rube goldberg style all grain brewing events, I am finally building out an all grain rig. Question is about the propane controls. I have a Bayou Classic BG12 and a Camp Chef SHPRL. Both came mated with 10 PSI regulators. Right now I have the tank run to a propane manifold that attaches each regulated line separately. But I have an idea, that I could use the controllers off a gas grill, mounted on the front of the rig to fine tune the flame. There are lots of dealers out there that sell the controllers, but I what little I have found about them seems to indicate they very low pressure rated (5 PSI).

Anyone tried this? Here's the sort of thing I have in mind:

Nothing at that link.

I have three of these on my rig: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370509578574&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Work awesome.

I use these needle valves available from Bayou Classic

Needle Valve



They allow me great control to keep a steady boil going without wasting propane.

Trying the link again http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024E62CU/ref=asc_df_B0024E62CU1606780?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=dealt4486-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B0024E62CU The product was a Camco 57274 RV Control Valve with Quick Connect.

I was looking at a couple of different needle valves including the one you posted Wayne1. Is that a mounting nut under the knob? Or did you have to strap it on from behind the control panel somehow?

thanks again

No mounting nut.

The black pipe that carries the propane to each of the control valves holds them in place. I then run flex tubing to each of my burners.

Makes sense, I will try that. Thanks to everyone who replied. I'll post some pictures when done.
