If you understand how the hose works which apparently you may not, this simple test will tell you if the valve in the hose is operating properly.
A wooden matchstick is the perfect size to be able to push against and completely depress the valve in the Grill end of the hose to release the gas. The weber standard connector used on small propane heaters as well has a long metal tubular "pin" that accomplishes the same thing.
What this test will not tell you is which END of the hose is not working. But it is clear proof that it is the hose. NOT the propane canister...it ran my generator and was full, or the valve on the Weber (it worked with the Coleman Canister.
If you have a better more accurate test please post it here.
