I have done this experimentally, and run a 70-watt light bulb successfully for up to a minute. Kinda hard to drive a car and throttle a propane bottle by hand at the same time though! 
Once I get the fancy regulator in and hooked up, then I can experiment with how big of a primary regulator I need, and if a 20lb BBQ bottle will be up to the task or not. |
Oh good, I thought you had the gas on in the vid.
I also found that 50,000BTU regs are not uncommon (which you may have, it's rating should be stamped on it somewhere)
I don't think you really need to re-regulate 11wc to 11wc, as long as your primary is up to the task you should be fine and dandy. Unless you want to run a high pressure reg as your primary I just don't see why you need it.
