Works

Works perfectly

Works perfect for using a large 20 lb propane bottle on my Classic Coleman two burner stove.

So it works I cook outside even at home by choice. I use a Coleman two burner stove. I don’t like cooking inside much at all unless I have to. Using the little tanks for some reason unless your camping feels like a waste.So got this hose. First it’s kind of sharpe plastic that goes to the tank to spin it on like that flat plastic edge is sharp. Next it did either get clogged or I didn’t have the tank open enough not really sure. One review said to build up pressure in the line then burn the gas. So I tried that and it seemed to work but we will see. Have always wanted this hose but 27 bucks is too much in my opinion for a 5 ft hose you use to cook outside sometimes or if your like me as much as you can. 16 is a little more reasonable however I’m hoping I didn’t get what I paid for.Some reviews say it doesn’t work with Coleman stoves or two burners even though it’s from Coleman. Not sure how that works.So it seems to work but we will see. Like I said so far I cooked breakfast and coffee with it and it worked for the most part. Going to now clean up and see if it works for that. Clean up is heating the cast iron and steaming it in the house lol with hot water.So my biggest and only real complaint is you feel like you need a gloves to attach to a tank so you don’t cut your hand other wise I think it will work for me. I don’t mind having to clear the line if that is the case as things aren’t made the same as they use to be so i don’t expect much sorry Coleman nothing against you guys i. I have a lot of your stuff anyway that works.

This is the same hose that my father used when I was a kid and we took the portable gas grill to the camp site. The hose is well constructed, even though its less expensive than a lot of them . I have the Weber Q 1200, and the Weber branded hose is more expensive. The fitting ends are all brass. The plastic star handle that is on the tank side is a little thin, but you can easily use a wrench on that if it ever breaks so I am not too concerned about that. That used to be solid plastic it is not solid anymore.The side that connects to your portable units is the same across the board since that is universal. The tank side of this hose though threads into the female side of the tank valve, as opposed to the new ones that thread onto the outer more coarse threaded male side. I like this better myself, since it doesn't leak as easy and it is easier to get it tight, also since it is finer threaded. Not to worry though, the tank valves still have that connection since that is how the tanks are also filled. Just remember the threads are reversed though, so you turn it counter clockwise to tighten it.This hose pays for itself in no time flat. The little green canisters of propane are 1 pound, and cost way too much. The cheapest I have seen them were 6 bucks for a two pack at Walmart (3 bucks a piece). The most expensive place will fill my 20 pound tank for 21.99, which saves about $40 over using 20 canisters. Now, I live near an Indian reservation, and I can get that tank filled there for 11.99, which cuts the cost in half. You don't even have to use a whole 20 pound cylinder for this to pay for itself in savings.

Exactly what I was looking for

Last year I purchased a Cuisinart portable barbecue. Since it was primarily for use on my back porch with the option of taking on the road, I purchased the stand for it and a hose to hook it up to a 20 lb tank. At the time this hose was either rated better than the Cuisinart hose or had about the same rating but was cheaper. The first time I hooked it up, I did the leak check by spraying on soapy water and saw no leaks. I turned the gas on slowly as suggested in other reviews and had no problems with pressure. I never did take the barbecue anywhere and used it regularly until the gas ran out about 2 months ago. I used a couple of cylinders with no problems until I got a new tank. Stupidly, I did not do the leak check on tank #2, and since I was in the habit of leaving the tank valve open, the gas ran out within weeks. I figured I got a bad tank or wasn't careful screwing the hose into it. I took my time with tank #3 a couple of weeks ago, and it seemed to be screwed in straight and tightly, both to the barbecue and to the tank. Again, I stupidly did not do the leak check. Instead, I started closing the tank valve after each use. I was assuming any leak was likely to be happening from the coarse threads screwed into the tank rather than the finer threads screwed onto the barbecue's gas regulator. Seems I may have been wrong. Last night, with the barbecue going on the porch and me in the kitchen, I heard a pop and turned to discover flames shooting out of the hose. I ran out, turned off the gas, and found a flaming hole in the hose at the base of the metal where the coupler is crimped onto the hose. I will upload a picture with this review. With the gas off, the rubber was burning but easily extinguished. I sighed a sigh of relief that a disaster was averted. So, while this may be partly or even entirely my fault for not performing a leak check, I wanted to submit this review to warn others not to make that mistake. I suspect there are many people out there who go by feel and assume it's OK like I did. DON'T do that. ALWAYS CHECK for leaks. From the location of the burning hole, I suspect the hose was actually defective where the coupler was crimped onto it, and the problem wasn't that I screwed it in crookedly. Nonetheless, a leak check could have found the leak whether it was due to user error or a defect and averted a fire. Don't cut corners when it comes to your safety. Be careful out there!
