So I bought a Remington Propane tank top heater a couple weeks ago... I have been using it while drinking some beers on the deck when its cold as shite.

Its been working awesome... however, the hose running from regulator to heater slightly leaks after 3 weeks.

I am using on a open deck and was wondering if this is going to blow my arse up. I stopped using it for now.

I included a pic of where it leaks.

You're not going to blow up. I'm sure the vapor is regulated to 10-20 psig or so. Replace the hose or unscrew fitting and add teflon tape

Replace the hose with a woven stainless steel one. They stay way more flexible than the reinforced rubber hoses is my experience.

Leak check. Spray some soapy water on it. If it bubbles on fitting, try putting teflon tape on threads. If it's in the braid, replace hose. Gas is money.
You won't die either

If leaking at the crimp replace it with a longer braided hose

Actually have had the same problem the last few times I’ve boiled crawfish. I just mushed some foil around it.
