To figure this out, check the specifications for your grill. It should report the output of each burner in BTU (British Thermal Units) or kWh (kilowatt hours). One pound of propane contains 21500 BTU (around 6.3 kWh).

An average grill might have burners with individual output of around 30000 BTU at full output. Therefore 1 lb of propane will, in theory, last for around (21500 / 30000) * 60 = around 43 minutes. The real time is probably somewhat less than this. If you run it at half output (good for a few sausages) it should last somewhat more than an hour.

How do I properly connect a propane tank to a grill?

To properly connect a propane tank to a grill, follow these steps: Make sure the grill is turned off and the propane tank valve is closed. Remove the old tank if there is one attached. Check the O-ring on the propane tank valve for any damage. Place the tank on the grill and align the threads of the tank valve with the grill's regulator. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to secure the connection. Open the propane tank valve slowly to allow gas to flow. Test for leaks by applying a soapy water solution to the connections. If bubbles form, there is a leak. If there are no leaks, turn on the grill and ignite it to start cooking. Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific grill model.
