I'm not sure if anyone can help.  We went camping this weekend, and there wasn't enough flame to come out of our stove to cook our meals - it took about 2 hours to cook burgers!  The flame just wouldn't get very hot.  We bought a new canister as the other one was a bit low, but it wasn't any better.

Could there be a problem with the hose (although we cut off both ends and re-threaded it), or the regulator?  We thought it may be the regulator, but thought if it was faulty it would cut off the gas rather than reduce the flow?

Anyone had this problem before who could advise?

Definitely sounds like regulator problems - it has been a common problem in caravans for a few years where gunge leaches out of the gas hose and drops into the regulator. The symptoms are almost exactly as described (been there, done that)!

i'd try a new reg first.
