That's what we do. Lots of sloshing means more LPG in there than little
sloshing, never mind that a full tank is heavier than one at half-mast


There are cheap stick-on gauges that probably work by measuring the temp
of the liquid in the tank. Never tried one so can't comment on
effectiveness. While running the grill, a hand on the side of the tank
will also give a fair indication of level; can feel the temp difference
between the gas phase and the liquid quite readily.

We don't really have room to store a second full tank safely, so
checking it often is the next best option.
