I use a 3.9kg propane gas for cooking and tea making, now I don't know how much fuel is left in the bottle at any time and I don't want to invest in a second bottle really. Any fuel gauges I could use for the bottle?
I would hate to run out of gas half way through the breakfast cooking. Smile

Clicked onto the link and found it, thanks Dalek. I also saw a much cheaper gauge that attaches to the bottle and indicates gas left - at only 3 quid, but any good?

Just weigh it. Digital scales are best but you need to know the empty weight. I always carry one of those briefcase cookers just in case.
