Weber 41455 20 Pound Tank Adapter Hose for Use with Weber Q and Go-Anywhere Gas Grill

Bought the Weber Q for Christmas. Tried to grill that day. Weber Q doesn't put out enough heat. Seems like the propane doesn't flow well enough in the cold.

Something just isn't right with either my Weber 200 or the adapter hose. I heeded all the advice and went right for the hose instead of using the blue tanks.

Anyway, this setup is wayyy underpowered. And I'm not sure what's at fault. So to help troubleshoot I'm going to buy a blue tank and hook it up to see if the flow is any better. I read the instructions on the hose about waiting a minute to turn it out, etc, etc.

I can hold my hand over the flames for well over a minute, this thing just isn't getting hot enough. And the blue flames coming from the burners are barely visible, and when the wind blows they just about go out.

I was looking forward to having the Weber 200 as my secondary grill (to the Weber Performer) and taking it camping and tailgating. So I hope it's not the grill that is severly underpowered.

As someone else said - this should be slamdunk but it isn't. One star rating until I can figure out what's going on here.

Will not work for long.. Goes into emergeny mode after a few weeks

Works good. Don't have to use the small tanks on the Weber Q grill which do not last long.

After replacing the regulator on my Weber Baby Q Grill I discovered the
Adapter hose flow was restricted by a defect & the grill never worked with
a 20# tank. Now I need a new hose.
