Tip of the Day: Keep the BBQ Going

Nothing gets the Labor Day party going faster than firing up the backyard grill. Just make sure you keep all that smoked and grilled meat coming—it’s unforgivable to run out of fuel before the last kebab is bobbed. Even without a gas gauge, there is a way to figure out how much fuel you have left. Here’s what to do a day or two before the party-goers are set to arrive. Boil water, then pour it down the side of the tank. Place your hand on the side: the cool part has propane inside, the warm part is empty.
