It may be simple, it may not. First question, are you sure its propane?
Do you have a propane tank somewhere? If you do, it is probably
regulated down to 6psi for home entry. That's probably why they said you
won't need the regulator on your Charbroil. Don't try to take the
Charbroil hose apart, you set yourself up for leaks. Best bet is to get
a hose set from a BBQ supply store or the gas company. That way it will
be long enough to keep the grill safely away from the house.
Whatever you do, check it for leaks (and not with a match).
Grill fires are not "fun."
