So after an extraordinarily hot summer, the fall cool weather is definitely emerging. I went to fire up my Weber Flame LP firepit the other day, anticipating having a couple pops on the deck and relaxing by the fire, and a freakin' varmint ate a hole in the rubber hose! I've been in this house 10 years, with lots of grills rotating through, and never had that happen, until this year. Now I had my Genesis hose chewed up, which I replaced with a braided steel hose, a few months ago and now noticed the firepit hose chewed. I assumed that the first one was maybe because some grease or other varmint treats had dripped onto the hose, but the damn firepit wasn't near a grill and was covered! Worse, the replacement part is unavailable (and I don't know if it is the same level of regulator as the universal replacements, or if there's a universal replacement with that kind of fitting).
Given that, does anybody know where to go to have a new (hopefully steel) hose added to the regulator and fittings. I feel like I've heard that this is a thing, but don't really know what kind of shop to go to to do it.
