My two-burner stove was working fine last spring (and got a lot of use), then I didn't use it for a few months. I just put a tank on to test it and realized it's not working at all anymore. I tested the entire line and all the connections with soapy water and didn't find any leaks. I can't smell any propane when the tank is open. Now I'm not sure what to do? Is it possible the regulator stopped working while it was off the tank and in the weather for several months? I just have this cheap one from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LPUN73U/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Is there something I'm forgetting / not thinking of?

So you're getting no gas flow at all? Do you have a gas heater? Does it have gas flowing to it?
Gas stopped flowing on a camping trip a few years ago and it was our regulator.
If you have a spare tank I'd start by trying it in place of the tank that's there now.

My guess would be a clogged regulator...pretty common.

What they said. Try another tank and regulator.

Ok. I've tried the tank so next is the regulator. Thanks y'all! Good to hear it's common.
