Two details strike me here, one is the possibility that there are two regulators in the line between the large tank and the burner, the other is that the hose is too small for its length.
Two regulators would result it very little to no gas flow. Too small a hose for the length would also result in low pressure at the burner.
It is also possible, that the little campfire deals with the high-pressure/low-pressure issue by simply having a pinhole through which the high pressure propane has to squirt in order to restrict flow low enough for the burner, which is actually a low pressure device. If this is so, it must be connected to a high pressure line.
There is only one regulator. The Camco tee attaches directly to the tank before the MH regulator. The 17' line is high pressure until it gets to the campfire pit regulator.
About the time I hit the post button something came to mind. The throwayay appliance connector on the Camco has a small orifice. So, that might be restricting the flow. I could replace it with a quick disconnect which would give better flow. Does this idea have any credibility?
