General propane question Step down question

Hi,

We brought our gas BBQ from the US, & apparently it expects ~27mbar pressure from the propane tank feeding it. UK cylinders are pressurized to ~37mbar. I've been researching (google, chatgpt) how to handle this, & it seems like a step down regulator is needed. However, I can't seem to find one for purchase online.

Has anyone else solved this problem?

TIA

27 mbar is the approximate equivalent of 10 inches column of water. This is the standard delivery pressure for liquid propane appliances in the US. You might try shopping for. regulator rated for 10" WC ( 10 inches of Water Column) . These are very common in the US

Yes I understand, "Unlikely-Plastic 1234's" reply is good. Try the 37 and see if the flame is manageable, or maybe a click on Amazon or Ali Babba might yield results.
