Forge ??

I am looking to build a simple firebrick forge using a modified sidearm burner from Larry Zoeller. I am going to build one similar to the one on Larry's website. I already have the firebrick, regulator, guage, and propane lines. I attached a picture of what I have. My question is will I need any additional fittings to hook to the burner, or is what I have sufficient? Thanks.

Not much there to go on. I would recommend a quick, 90 degree shutoff valve at the tank connection. Screwing around with a multiturn valve while gas is leaking or flames are leaping is not smart.
Check all your connections with soapy water prior to lighting up.
