is there a way to hook a larger propane tank to a camping sized propane stove so I don't need to hassle with all those little green bottles?? Is a full size bbq grill a good cooking source instead of a campstove( 7-8 person camp) Thanks y'all Ajax

Yep and Yep. The biggest propane you'd probably want is a 100lb tank and unless you're a dedicated cooking camp, you'll be hard pressed to empty one of those. The standard ones are 20lb tanks I believe. The 100lb tanks are so big and bulky, you'll probably want something somewhere in between.

I just bought one of the bigger tanks to use instead of the little green ones. I also bought a hose that connects the tank to my Coleman stove. Works fine.

Google my friend, Google!

Yes, they make a nice adapter hose. One of the combination grill/stoves works pretty good as both. Like a Coleman Roadtrip grill with the optional cooking rings.

We use a big propane bubble with the ridgid "tree" that has a y connection for camp stove and propane lantern above.

Those distribution trees are one of the most convenient inventions known to man. A place for your lantern, a place for your grill, a place for your, uh, well, whatever, I guess. I never use the third hook up. It took me nineteen years of camping to get around to getting one of these, and I don't know what I'd do without it.

Yep, we have used ours for more than 10 years - it's a staple.

You can buy heavy propane rings and ranges that will hold heavy pots and hook to a hose.
A friend uses one in his kitchen.
Harbor freight has one with a small broiler built in.

The trees are a great to have. Put your lantern on top. When it's time for bed, don't turn off the lantern, turn off the propane at the tank. That will give you ten to fifteen minutes of light as the propane bleeds out of the tree. So you won't have to get settled in for the night, in the dark
