The Modern Rogue checks propane levels with hot water

A pitcher and a hand replace guesswork in a grill-side demonstration drawing an unusually fast audience.

How to Tell How Much Propane Is Left

The useful part is the temperature change beneath your hand. In The Modern Rogue's "How to Tell How Much Propane Is Left," the presenter pours hot water down the outside of a tank, then feels along its surface to locate the fuel level.

He explains that the propane quickly absorbs heat from the water. The boundary between the cooler and warmer sections of the tank gives away where the propane sits. No opening the tank, and no extra gauge: the demonstration is over almost as soon as it begins.

The Short reached roughly 50,000 views in nine hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full first day for this format. For a channel whose experiments include watch theft demonstrations and lock-opening lessons, this is a particularly domestic bit of know-how.

The comments supply an alternative and an inevitable cartoon reference. Some viewers point out that weighing the tank also works if you know its empty weight; another reckons Hank Hill could judge it just by looking.
