What elevation are you at? That's probably not it as I don't think you're that high. (elevation guys) But they do say it may be an issue at 7000 ft and above?
Most likely your jets are getting plugged, or you have a defective unit.
I might have to look into getting an adapter. Thanks for the endorsement.

I am at about 150-200' lol The adapter is super awesome....
Make sure you have a hemostat or curved needle nose pliers to hold the pressure release valve open on the small bottle as you fill.
Jamie from Enigmatic Nomadics has a good video on the process. I will see if i can maybe procure a can of air cleaner from the office and try to clean it some.

My guess is the problem is the hose or filter (hopefully filter , cheapest part).

Some types of rubber will break down with the high pressure propane.
Do you shut it off at the tank and let the pressure burn off or at the heater , leaving the hose pressurized ?

There is gas in the tank , the heater works fine on the 1# tanks..... the only thing left is the hose or filter!
stay tuned

Damn it, the hose and filter are both new(er) last year... I guess maybe I can buy a hose at a UN-named big box store and return the old one...

Try the filter first.
They are a "replace once a year" item (depending on amount of use).
What are they now ? $10 , probably good to carry a spare anyway..............
stay tuned
