I’ve got a black stone that we use frequently, but I’m always paranoid my propane tank is on the verge of being empty. Anybody have a reliable gauge accessory that will give me a relatively accurate fuel level?

I don't have a good gauge, but it's worth buying an extra tank to alleviate that stress

Yep, extra tank takes care of the worries while using it to cook a meal. Change out in minutes. As for gages, Blue Rhino makes a good one that screws on the tank valve for $20, and the cheap magnetic ones are only $10. Can find both at propane dealers or trailer parts stores.

Ive got an arm that is well calibrated. I also have 6 tanks so we’re never worried about running out.

Weight is the only real gauge for small tanks. This. Weight is the only way to tell which doesn't change with temperature. That's why they put it on a scale when you get them refilled.
