Bob,
I imagine you could splice a T into the copper propane lines that would
allow you to hook up a portable propane tank.... but why would you want to
do this? and.... remember the portables are not supposed to be used indoors
near an open flame.... that's because they have pressure relief valves that
could open... spewing propane out into the air!
Bill
