Thanks Mike and Mark, I took that approach. It is stored in our closet for when I need it. I bought a 12 pound roll and ended up still needing/making the adapter that you mentioned Mark. Here is a link for anyone that runs across this thread:

I am still waiting on my regulator, but was able to use the one from my old weld-pak to get it up and running. It works great, I hope that I start using it enough that I need a 44 lb roll in the future.
