The usual way (at least for removable tanks) would be with a switching
regulator.  I grew up with one like that, ran my grandparents' stove and
fridge.  When a bottle went dry it would shift to the other bottle and
raise a little indicator flag to say it was time to call the gas people who
were no doubt overjoyed to know they had a mile trek each way over a really
nasty "road" to sell a sixty-lb tank of propane.  But they were always nice
about it...it only happened once a summer or so.  Everything else was
kerosene...
