Can you hook a grill propane tank to your house stove?

As long as your house stove is not running off of natural gas (a pipeline routed through your neighborhood with a big meter on the side of your house = natural gas). If your house has a big huge gas tank on the side of it, it is propane, and that is what those bottled gas things are that you buy at the gas station. Disconnect the gas line at the huge tank outside your house, and connect the small tank you got at the gas station directly to the line right there. I have done it myself before, and I am also a plumber with experience in working and installing gas lines. Joeman
