It appears as my hose has melted behind the fitting that connects to the burner. The hose-fitting is barely attached to the hose now due to the melting around it..

Is this a standard fitting and hose size? The hose is 1/4" but I'm concerned about the fittings. Where can I buy a new hose to replace this hose?

No it's a gas fitting or should be. Home Depot probably but it's going to have the regulator on it.

Gonzales hardware or hutches ace will have what you need.

I put air compressor quick connects on all mine. Even used a hose from my compressor once.

When in a bind, you can get away with using tygon tubbing. I don't it before with no problems. Just have to watch how the heat hits it. Made a funnel/heat sheild out of a beer can.

Cut the hose and make sure it's a flush cut. Put a hose clamp then shove the hose back and tighten.

Usually most places will try to sell you the hose and regulator together. If you can go to Baldwin Taylor on Jefferson Hwy in Metairie they should be able to help you. Basil's hardware could probably help you as well.

Yea. You should be able to buy enough stuff at any hardware store to make up a new line.
