Gas grills can be great for preparing your favorite meats and veggies, but it’s important to ensure that you have enough propane to power the BBQ. When you run out, you can either get a new BBQ propane tank from the store or have it re-filled. Here are a few ways you can tell if you need a BBQ propane tank re-fill:
- Do a hot water test. An easy way to test the amount of propane left in your tank and whether you need a BBQ propane tank re-fill is by pouring a bucket of hot water down the side of the tank and feeling for a cold spot as you run your hand along the side of the tank. The point where you reach the cold spot will indicate your current level of propane in the tank.
- You notice a low flame or uneven heating. If you notice a low flame or uneven heating on different spots of the BBQ, you might have insufficient levels of propane in the tank. You will want to consider a BBQ propane tank re-fill before it runs out entirely in the middle of your next cookout.
- You have trouble lighting the grill. Having more difficulty lighting the grill than usual can also be a sign that you’re running low on propane for your BBQ. You can try the hot water test to check your propane level before getting a BBQ propane tank re-fill.
