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.
