You need Camco Single Stage Propane Regulator - 200,000 Btu/Hr part # CAM59013 to run your dryer with a 30 lb tank. Although your dryer may have it's own regulator so you may want to check that. This regulator is rated for 200,000 Btu/hr so you may also want to check to see if this will be sufficient for your particular dryer.

I’m dumping my propane supplier (too expensive) for my Kenmore dryer. Will the CAM 59013 regulator be suitable to use with a 30 gallon propane tank I will buy?

@BillW Yes, the Camco 59013 regulator can work with a 30-gallon propane tank for your Kenmore dryer, as long as a couple basic requirements are met. This regulator is designed to take the high pressure coming from a propane tank and step it down to about 11 inches of water column, which is the standard low pressure most propane dryers are built to use. It is also rated for up to 200,000 BTUs, which is far more than a typical residential propane dryer needs, so capacity should not be an issue.
