How long is the hose supplied?

Can I increase the length of the LPG hose?

It is advised not to increase the length of the hose. As a longer hose, can result in less pressure to the fire pit which then effects the flame. Also, if you have tampered with the original hose supplied this may void your warranty.

Why is there a blue flame when I first start the fire?
