For those of you who exchange your propane tanks for barbecuing, please read this notice.
There's nothing worse than running out of fuel halfway through grilling. If your grill doesn't have a gas gauge, use this technique to estimate how much gas is left in the tank.
We used to return our empty gas tanks for our BBQ grill to the local retail store and exchange for a new filled tank. Now, we just take out "empty" tank to the local propane company or to a local store that sells propane to fill our tank for us.
Use this tip for your safety and that of your loved ones. Do not store propane tanks in your garage. They may explode when it gets very hot.
