Grill Gauge Accurately Measures Liquid Propane

I love my husband but sometimes he drives me nuts. One of the questions I always ask him before we leave on a camping trip is if the propane tanks on our popup camper are full. He will then walk over to the camper, lift them up to see how heavy they are, and tell me we have plenty of propane.

Then, after getting to the campground where we do not have an electric campsite, we will get our camper set up, set the fridge so it runs on propane and then have the fridge stop cooling after 2 hours because we have run out of propane.

Now our camper fridge is tiny. There is no way it sucks all the propane out of a 20 pound tank in 2 hours. grill gauge

We have the same problem at home with our gas grill. My husband will assure me that there is plenty of propane in the tank, yet when I turn it on to grill brats the grill stops heating after 5 minutes because, yes you guessed it, the propane tank is empty!

As much as I love my husband I am going on record right now to say he stinks at estimating the amount of propane left in our propane tanks.

That is why I was excited to come across this grill gauge today when browsing the new items at campingworld. It accurately measures the amount of liquid propane left in a 20 pound tank, plus the gauge doesn’t need batteries. The tank can even stay connected to the hose while measuring the amount of propane left.

Guess what my husband is getting as a present from me?
