Interesting. I run on about a 10' hose (with about another 10' from the RV port to the bottles). When I first did the mod, I felt like my BabyQ was taking longer to heat up, but I could still get it up to 500 degrees it just seemed to take longer, I just suspected it was not running as efficiently as when on a throwaway bottle. After a little Googling I discovered a common problem with the BabyQ was that the holes in the burner tube get easily clogged with grease and that has a big effect on heat. I was not convinced that this would be the cause, as it still seemed to run better on a throwaway, but I did it anyway. There are a number of methods online for cleaning the tube (soaking, wire brush, drilling etc). I decided to drill out all the holes after soaking the tube for a half hour. The smallest drill bit I had was a perfect fit (I did not want too big and enlarge the holes). I drilled out all the holes, and many were really gummed up and even took some force to get the drill thru the clogs. In the end when I reinstalled the tube I was amazed that it seemed like it was running off the RV as well as it did on a throwaway. May be coincidence but it might be worth a look.
