I would begin at a hardware store, or, if you're unfamiliar with the size and shape of what you need, a propane store. 

This is a little bit frustrating, as you seem to want us to just be a search engine for you. 

You are more than capable, I assume, of looking up the size of the connections as well as the regulators that are available. And the hoses should be a no-brainer. Just get one the length and size you need. 

Welcome to the forum, and glad to have you. You should read the "read this first", as well as put your location in your profile so we know where on God's Green Earth you habitate. Otherwise, read. We are not just oracles at delphi waiting around to be asked questions. Likely there is already an answer on here.

I was like, regular what?  Then I guessed that you meant regulator.  Is there something wrong with your present hose?  If not, consider installing a regulator inline.

OK, not sure WHY you need the new hose.  I assume the old one melted?  (can't see it in the picture you posted).  

I've HEARD of rubber hoses on vertically mounted burners melting after the forge was shut off due to the heat coming out of the top of the burners when there was no longer air/fuel flow to cool them.  If that's the case you'll want to replace it with a heat resistant connection and consider changing the burner locations and/or fuel line routing to keep them away from the heat.

Sorry, we can't link you directly to a product for sale since commercial links are generally not allowed here.  But a trip to a store with knowledgable people is a good starting point.  If you know what you actually need I'm sure you can google it.  

Welcome aboard. Need to go to the "read this first" section. You would have read that commercial links are not allowed. 

Also need to fill in the header. This is a world wide forum and what is available to me may not be to you. 

Tractor supply company sells propane hoses and adjustable regulators. 

If your present hose has suffered heat damage, replacing it with another hose will not solve your problem. And suggesting that you move your burner's orientation is not a practical solution; it will work, but is fixing your problem the hard way. In your shoes, I would take the Frosty path, which is to use copper refrigeration tubing for the last foot or two between a fuel hose and the forge's burners.

I also note that your burner sits snugly within the forge opening, leaving no air gap to induce reverse flow of super heated air from the forge interior after shut off. Also, the burner's mixing tube is plenty long enough to avoid over heating of the the gas hose after shutoff, unless...you leave the burner's air choke (the red sliding sleeve shown in your photo) open after shutdown; in which case, internal heat will flow merrily up the mixing tube, and out of the burner's air vents, cooking the gas hose :P
