I have a Buddy heater and use a bulk tank. The hose that connects the bulk tank to the heater is very stiff when it gets cold. I can't get it uncoiled. It limits where I can put the tank/heater (at least until it warms up a bit). How have others solved this issue. I have considered keeping the hose inside my bibs (worn like a belt) until I get situated and set up the shelter/heater, but this is a pain. I used to have another setup for connecting a bulk tank to a two-burner that didn't have this problem, though that hose had a pressure regulator on it, and I think the flexible hose was a relatively low pressure one. The Buddy hose doesn't have a regulator. I considered removing the connector and replacing the hose, but I thought that might be a little risky.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
