VERY low pressure at outdoor stove.

I have a 5 year old Keystone Cougar X-Lite 31AQB. We have used the outdoor stove at the back several times. Works(ed) well. This past weekend we used the camper for the first time this year and the flame barely came out. Pulled the valve apart to make sure there was nothing (web or bug) in it. Super clean and ball valve seemed in working condition. Checked the line for a leak, did not find anything. Checked to make sure there was not a leak at the regulator, did find a loose-ish line going into the tank, replaced both lines to the tanks and the regulator. Pulled the stove components apart, blew out everything with air, all seems clean and in working order. Still no pressure at the rear stove and I can barely get a flame to lite. Any idea what may be wrong?

Are your other propane appliances working normally?

Does your stove have a quick disconnect fitting? Mine is very finicky. You have to make sure it is all the way in and collar in the home position before turning on the valve, a two hand job for sure. Just a thought

Most gas appliances have a tiny orifice to control the gas flow. They tend to get plugged by any dirt.

Low gas Pressure

When you turn on the propane tank valve, turn it on slowly. If you hear a click, you turned it on too fast. If too fast, the pressure controller detects a leak and throttles back as a safety feature. If this throttling happens, shut off the valve and loosen the connection until the pressure is released. This resets the safety throttle. Then open the valve very slowly and you will be good to go.
