I would tend to think that the problem is actually the need to very slowly open the valve. With the volume of the empty hose it will take a bit of time to fill it to the point that it doesn't kick the safety off on the valve. Another problem I found when I had a SOB was that the quick disconnect on the bottom of the trailer was supplied from the propane regulator on the rig, then it ran to another regulator on the grill. This caused a very low flow of gas through the hose. The flame on my Weber Baby-Q was less than half the height that it was on the small bottle. So I ended up bringing my spare 20 pounder. I had the same problem as yours and took my compressor and blew out the hose, but that night I read a post on here about opening the valve very slowly and have never had a problem since... Dave
