Hi folks, I picked up a used 4-burner + oven RV stove that I plan to incorporate into an outdoor kitchen at our seasonal campsite (the TT's galley only has a 2-burner cooktop, and the outdoor kitchen will encourage the DW to come out for longer periods ). The plan is to build a cabinet/stand for it and connect it o a 20lb portable LP tank.
In making the LP connection, the gas line must enter the rear of the unit and run past the 2 left burners to connect to the gas manifold at the front of the range. The fitting at the manifold is a standard 3/8" flare, which is the most common fitting on a standard flexible BBQ gas line.
I'm wondering if using a stainless steel braided gas line like this one might be a suitable option?

Is a SS line sufficiently heat-proof for this application or should I plan on using solid copper tubing from the stove's manifold to a connection with a standard BBQ hose & regulator outside the unit (ie in the cabinet beside the stove)?
Thanks in advance.
