If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
Is there a regulator or valve inline in that hose? I don't think you want a regulator, as the grill gun has that built in... If not, maybe the internal diameter of the hose is too restrictive. I have a hose like you describe that I use to connect a 20 pound tank to the propane ignition on my Weber Performer, and get the same performance as I get with the 1 pound bottles. It's just a straight through hose though, but the burner on that grill probably doesn't need the gas your grill gun needs.
scottranda must just be too much of a restriction then. Maybe you should return the hose and get a kit to refill the 1# tanks from the 20# tank for use with the grill gun?

I'm assuming the hose has a regulator? It could be that the pressure safety switch in the regulator has been tripped. Try turning off the tank, then opening the hose to ensure that all propane has been released from the hose. Close the hose, then open the propane tank very, very slowly. This should reset the switch in the regulator. I have an outdoor propane firepit that has a very finnicky regulator and I have to be very careful of the speed at which I open the valve on the tank.
jfmorris My Blackstone 22" griddle normally uses the 1# tanks. The adapter hose to use a 20# tank does come with/require a regulator. Here is the one I use. It does require a regulator "reset" once in awhile if I open the valve on the 20# tank too quickly.
GolfGeezer I appreciate that the hose you have might be different. The hose I have from Weber for their GoAnywhere and Q series grills, which I also use with a Coleman stove and my Performer, has no regulator whatsoever.
GolfGeezer In my case, the hose screws into the regulator that comes with the Coleman stove or other device, just like the 1 pound tank would. Your hose includes a regulator that looks like the one I already have that screws into the side of the Coleman stove. I screw my hose into that regulator. The Performer has a regulator built in as part of the valve assembly.
Morning guys,
I have found that the new valves have a safety that will slow or stop the propane if there is not a hose connected, with that your hose may need to be tighten tighter, or even a low tank?
Take a air hose and blow out the gas hose. You have a restriction. It may be a manufacturing issue, an insect has crawled in and built a nest, or something else like a crushed area or liner displacement. If you have eliminated any regulator or flow restricter as the issue, then it is a restriction in the hose.

I wouldn't invest too much energy in trying to troubleshoot a gas hose. Like Donw suggested, you're probably looking at a either a manufacturing defect or an obstruction. Like questionable food: when in doubt, throw it out ... or in this case, exchange it.
I had something similar happen last year. Unfortunately, I don't remember everything I did to fix it.
What I do remember is that newer tanks sense a quick change in pressure and shut off the flow of gas, (or reduce the flow). If your grill gun is "instant on", that may be the problem. If possible, try slowly opening the gas flow on the gun and see if that helps.
Another thing I have a very hazy memory is that there is a screw on the side of the tank valve that also has something to do with the problem. I looked but couldn't find the video that I remember.
Another thought is do you have anything else you can connect the tank to using the hose? If it still doesn't work properly, then it's most likely the hose.
