Ok, i feel foolish. I attempted to reinstall the Princess stove in Tallulah Belle today but cannot find any sign of where the propane inlet is on this stove. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? There is NOTHING on the back of underside to give any indication of where the propane inlet is supposed to go. Thanks in advance!

On mine I think a length of copper tube ran across the top of the oven "roof" from behind the stove, but under the cooktop surface - so it was sort of between the burner bases, if that makes sense. It connected to the bar that all the control knobs and burners are attached to. (Sort of a closed tube.) The connection was at one end.

The inlet is a brass flare fitting on the left near the front of the stove. (to the left of the burner control, the small brass nipple) It's screwed into the stove manifold that the burner controls attach to:  Sorry for the rust. |

Ok I found the tapped opening that the nipple fits into. It is on the right( looked on from above) of the burner manifold. I just got home from having a new piece of 3/8 copper tubing flared and fittings installed and so the Princess will be functional tonight!
