You just  can't run it on gas=20
without special fittings

You can hook it to a barbecue tank.  Remove  the tank, regulator and feed
line from your barbecue, then the end of the hose  from your barbecue setup will
connect to the propane input of the fridge.   No electric service is needed
for propane operation unless you want to test the  cooling fan and its
thermostat.  I do this all the time when bench testing  fridges in the workshop.
