Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was in a dilemma and couldn't choose between this 4ft hose and the 6ft one from Weber to go with my Weber Q1200 I just picked up. I was nervous about getting this one because all the upvoted reviews said it blew up or doesn't allow enough propane. THIS IS NOT TRUE ( at least for me it isn't ) I think the problem most of the reviews were having is personal error. (No offense, I had no idea how to use propane until I did a little research myself) When you use propane, most people don't know you have to PREP THE LINE. Here's what I mean: (a sort of "how to") First open the lid to your grill. (So that the propane doesn't accidentally fill up within the grill) First make sure the propane tank and your grills propane adjustment knob are in the OFF position. (Just double check to be safe) Screw the hose into the tank and the grill snugly (but don't wrench on it and over tighten it) With the GRILL propane knob in the OFF position, SLOWLY open the propane canaster valve. Now the most important part, WAIT at least 60 seconds before turning your to grill on to allow the line to completely fill with propane and pressurize. (Probably the wrong wording but that's what it eluded to online.) Go ahead and turn the propane to the grill burns on. (The propane adjustment knob on your grill) Now and only now should you try to light the grill. That's it. No explodeing hoses or lack of propane flow. Hope that helps! ALSO this propane hose is rated to the exact same psi as the Weber hose. It is essentially the same thing. I'm not trying to bash Weber products, I just didn't need a 6ft hose and wanted to save $10.00. Also some of the reviewers posted pictures of a hose that looks like very old packaging. Maybe char-broil fixed their hoses and this is a newer version that I received. Who knows? If this was helpful please give it an up vote.
