Is that what you do? Here's an adjustable bbq regulator for $22: http://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-...ef=pd_sim_lg_6

I'll consider one of these, although I'm still leaning towards the Smith. To me, knowing the tank pressure, while not necessary, as well as outlet pressure seems worth the extra $. That and the convenience of setting the outlet pressure with a dial gauge, more like plug and play. OTOH the $60 saved could buy some other needed items.
