I’ve been running my Big Buddy heater off a 20lb tank for several years now with a factory 4-6 foot hose ( can’t remember exact length) along with the filter. This year I needed to replace my propane tank as it was expired. Upon attempting to hook up the hose to the new tank, I discovered that the hose fitting ( male end ) will bottom out before any threads engage into tank valve fitting? Not sure if this is the case with all new propane tanks or “ just my luck”?! Fortunately I had another 10 foot hose ( Woods brand, I believe) that has a female end for the tank fitting. It was almost a cold day of icefishing. Just a heads up guys.
