Okay, I will do my best to ask this as clearly as I can. I have a Master Forge upright propane smoker that I really enjoy. But I need to add a needle valve for doing jerky and snack sticks. I bought the M5HPR-30 from Bayou Classics from Home Depot. I saw that one in a few posts and it seemed easy.
But I do have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. How do I now attach it to my smoker. Obviously the one end goes to my propane tank. And the other end goes to the smoker. But the OEM hose on my smoker isn't threaded on, it is crimped on permanently. So how do I connect the 3/8" OD flared fitting to my smoker? I'm guessing there are multiple ways, and could use some advice on what's easy. I assume one option is to cut off the OEM hose and use a barbed 3/8" flared male threaded adapter and hose clamp? Does such a thing exist? Is there another way?
Thanks!
