| Aug 18, 2016 at 16:01 | comment | added | requiem | @DonBranson Two ways to tell how much is left. If you have a scale and know what an empty container weights, just weigh the thing. Otherwise, you can either run the stove for a few minutes or disconnect the stove and pour warm water down the side; the side of the tank should be colder below the level of the propane. | |

| Sep 8, 2013 at 18:15 | comment | added | Don Branson | I have use the liquid gas, propane, and alcohol stoves. They're all good, functional alternatives. The only thing I don't like about the propane is that it's hard to tell how much full you have left. But, you can usually keep an extra bottle on hand. | |
