How long does the gas last in my LPG cylinder? Do I still have enough for the next barbecue? These questions have probably been asked by everyone with a gas barbecue.
If the gas has already run out once before while you were preparing a steak, you now probably always have a replacement cylinder at the ready.
In this article, we have written down everything worth knowing on the subject, developed a simple calculation tool and will show you a digital alternative.

If you’re using a gas barbecue, sooner or later you will ask yourself: How long will the gas last, or how many times can I still barbecue with the gas that’s left? As is frequently the case, the answer is: It depends! In this article, we say at least what is important, provide you with a calculation tool and present a digital tool with a forecast function.
First of all, however, on the question which gas cylinders are even worth looking at, i.e. which gas cylinders are mainly used on gas barbecues. In the German-speaking countries, barbecues mainly use gas cylinders with the following filling weights:
Of course, the length of time that the gas will last depends on various factors. Among other things, these are, of course (1) the current filling level of the gas cylinder, (2) the maximum output of the gas barbecue, (3) how many burners are actually on, (4) the outside temperature and (5) the quality processing of the gas barbecue. This will also be explained briefly:

In addition, we have not yet mentioned that the withdrawal volume from a conventional gas cylinder varies greatly – depending on the filling quantity, temperature and capacity requirement.
Vorarbeit für die Berechnung
If you have the two values, you can enter them in our calculation tool and we will make a simple forecast of how long the current filling level of the gas cylinder will last for.
In order to obtain the most accurate result possible, we have divided the calculation into two simple steps. In the first step, enter the values determined (see “Preparatory work for calculation”). The result states how many hours you could still barbecue if the gas barbecue was permanently running at full power.
As this only happens in rare cases, we have added a second part of the calculation. There, you can estimate for yourself the rough capacity stage that the gas barbecue is running at, on average.

As already mentioned, with the calculation tool, we only achieve an approximate indication. You get a much more precise result, and faster too, with the Senso4s. The digital tool can do the following:
