Some people flag down the gas trucks when they see them, but a friend of mine told me about a gas truck that pretty much stays put. . .so I always buy from him now.
If you are coming from Landmark on Al Markhiya, drive toward the Villagio. You'll go under the D-ring flyover. At the next light turn right.
The gas guy is always parked in front of a very small grocery store (more like a mini-mart) on your left. You'll drive by him and will then need to turn around at the first stoplight - it's the stoplight at which you would turn left if wanted to go to Compass Int'l School.
After you have turned around you'll see him on your right.
I strongly suggest that you purchase two tanks so you always have one ready. It is SO worth the money. Tanks, as I recall, run about QR450 for two (with the gas). Sometimes the gas truck guys will sell the adaptors and hose; if they do then go ahead and get it all from them. I have heard that Carrefour sometimes sells them, but I never had any luck getting it there.
It's worth noting that the gas in Qatar burns MUCH MUCH hotter than the propane in the U.S. We pretty much keep our grill on "low" because anything higher is blazing hot.

Good luck - and welcome to Qatar!
