1. You can put a timer on the gas valve that records when the gas valve is open. Read the timer and compute the gas use based on BTU per hour.

Make sure you match your electric (AC or DC) and volts. Mine was 24 v AC

2. Just an example:

You'd have to get the right inlet and BTU size for your application.

I use method #1.
