No sure what the adjustable regulator From Malcolm is....

But the "Steak Saver" is a adapter that screws on to the top of a "disposable canister" ( it has 1 inch x 20 threads and is unique to itself)... THE steak save's other end has a "industry standard" (CGA 510) female coupling that ANY Adjustable fuel regulator (acetylene or propane) will connect to...

Whether you go with a adjustable regulator or a "pancake" style is up to you...

Since a steak saver can be had for about $16 (minimally + shipping)...

And a pancake regulator is about and fittings is about $20-30 its probably cheap a route to go... Tthe pancake regulator can be had in about 1/3 psi or 2 psi or 5 psi ( 1/3 or 2 psi should be plenty)...



As for a adjustable regulator (acetylene or propane for a bout $85 (+/-) ...

As for hoses all you need is a set of standard WELDING Hoses (twin hose) and you can separate them and use green hose side from torch to oxycon and red side from torch to "regulator"... No need to get "special hoses or make up weird hoses... Just be sure welding twin hose is "T" rated (for propane use)..



A lot will depend on your resources and what you expect in the end.... There is many options, I am only suggestion what I am familiar with and know to work...
