[C320-list] Seward 2 Burner Stove Not Lighting

[Art Harden]

Agree on the scale. I found one in the Walmart fishing area for $5. Spring loaded so I don't have to worry about batteries. If memory serves me right an empty tank is about 15# and a full one is 20#.

That's why when you have it filled it is put on a scale. There is a strip that can be attached to the outside of the tank that shows the level via temperature; but, you still have to pull the tank to see the strip, so why not weigh it. An inexpensive hanging scale will do the trick.
