I mount it under the icebox for travel and then deploy it in front of the door when heating. I wanted to allow plenty of overhead room for convection currents, so I didn't mount it permanently under the icebox. The flex hose makes this easy.
Ah I see, with that space you have down there I can see that work.
I know you didn't go to in depth on the modification front but could one assume the regulator that was removed was a threaded component and then one would be just be tasked with plumbing up a new regulated propane supply or was there more to it? I don't have one of these LB's but I'm weighing out my options for adding various catalytic heaters to the rig and also weather to look into adding a quick connect to the propane source.
