Thanks Charlie. I saw that one too. The Mopeka looks a lot nicer if it really works. It lets you check 2 or more tanks on your phone from the comfort of your warm Pod. No need to even take the cover off the tanks. I hope someone here will have tried it and have a report.

When one is out you know you have one full tank left. Get the empty re-filled and back in business with two. Good way to make sure you do not get caught off guard. |

Question. My pod have the tank plastic cover. Can you get the stick inside the cover and get the readings or would I have to remove it? I have a single tank at the present time. I do have the remote tank indicator but I am not sure I trust it. Caught it on sale for $60. Monitor |

We've been using this one for several months. We can check the level without even leaving the Pod.
https://www.amazon.com/Products-024-1001-Propane-Level-Indicator/dp/B01C5RQJHS/ It's the same as the one rawest50 posted but without the monitor; we use the free iOS app instead. It works the same as the handheld one above except that the sound waves emanate from the bottom of the tank and reflect off the top surface of the LP, thereby measuring depth. The level will change with temperature because the liquid expands and retracts, but that's the case with most gauges. |

We have a 20 lb tank and keep a 1lb cylinder for backup. Had to use the 1lb cylinder once.

I have not emptied our tank so that is why I am wondering. I plan to put it to use on our trip to Kentucky just to make sure it is reading correctly. Should be cool enough to use the Pod heater. I can use electric as a backup if it runs out. How much have you used you gas? Cooking and heating. |

If I am in a situation where I think (from the gauge, confirmed by hot water method) that I might run out during the night, I go ahead and switch to my full tank. Since a lot of places meter the propane as the tank is filled, it isn't much of a deal to take the tank with some remaining propane to be filled. If I were exchanging tanks, I would want to use all of it though.

Mine came today and seems to work fine. The tank on the smoker is empty, the grill is nearly empty, and the pod is nearly full. Seems well made and so far I am pleased. |
