Propane hose heat tolerance

Welcome aboard JCL, glad to have you. If you put your general location in the header members near you can provide location specific: answers, information and invites.

If you can hold it, it's a long way from too hot. If you want to isolate it, I recommend placing a fitting to connect the hose down below the forge and running copper tubing to the burner itself.

Someone said you should sleeve the hose. If the hose is getting hot because of proximity to the forge this may be a good idea. If it is getting hot because the burner is transferring heat to it insulating with sleeving is a waste of money and a very bad idea. It will make your problem worse because the hose can’t transfer heat to the air around it.
