That's a thought. "You have about 10 minutes of cooking time left."

I don't know where your gauge was made, so I don't know if it is a translation issue. Could the "usually within 10 minutes of cooking time" mean that if you start cooking, the gas will last less than 10 minutes?

I agree with the "huh?" though.

I'll grant it as a possibility. But (1) if they mean 10 minutes before cooking, the last thing I want to do in the last half hour before dinner is run out to the store, and (2) if they mean 10 minutes after cooking, I'm going to be eating. But I'll admit I'm not curious enough to ask the manufacturer. I'm just going to enjoy knowing how much gas is left in the tank.

Now that we have a new gauge, that is. The first one, as the store clerk put it, "would not pass gas." Its replacement's internal organs are apparently working correctly.

If it's a liquid propane tank and it expands into gas when it's released into the grill for burning, perhaps the instructions aren't that crazy. Recent use would probably have the effect of cooling the tank, which could be helpful for the refilling process. Why not write the manufacturer?

I bet it was a copy/paste typo.

Or else you just have to run to the store really fast just before grilling anything!
