i've thought about this over the last day or two and realized instead of joining an extension hose to the original hose, I can replace the original hose with one single 36ft hose. less connections to worry about. going to give that a try.
(when we renovate next year, I'll ask the gas fitter to extend the pipe from the current outlet location to the deck, to avoid having a super long rubber hose that's not tied down or anything. this is just a temporary janky solution I hope).

green line will make you a custom length hose of your desired length.
I don’t think your idea is that janky. It’s a fire table, I don’t know anyhow who keeps those things cranked. For a patio heater or a BBQ I’d be worried about output, but not with a fire table. You’ll be fine.
I should say I really don’t know what I’m taking about and just enough to be dangerous lol. Perhaps someone knowledgeable could chime in, but if frictional loss is the main culprit to pressure drop, the new line could be made out of a larger diameter hose. Just use an adaptor. You should see less of a drop over that section…
