If it were me, I would check for leaks by filling a spray bottle with heavy dish washing soap and water and spray EVERY line and connection to check for leaks. With the tank valve open but everything else turned off.
I recently replaced the rubber hose from my tank to my line with a flexible metal hose. I like metal better than rubber.
Or as suggested above, have a professional check it out. Don't want to find any leaks the hard way.
Good advice. I agree on the metal flex hose.
After checking for leaks, turn the stove burner to the "light" position and give it a couple of seconds, then light with a long lighter. The burners use the most gas so that will flush out the main line fast. Then light the smaller flames.
