Shiara's Question:
I have a bbq that I have always hooked up to a propane tank. Now, we have a natural gas line on our patio, can I hook up my bbq to the gas if I get a new connecor? I'm not really sure what the difference is?


Justin B's Answer

Most better quality grills are capable of being converted from propane to natural gas, but you can't just swap out the hose and fire it up. Propane burns much hotter than natural gas, so the orifices in the burners need to be changed to bring the temp on NG back up to the point where it was on propane. Your grill manufacturer will sell a kit if your grill can be converted. They're pretty easy to install. That said, if your house is propane-fired (usually there's a tank outside of the house somewhere), then you don't have to swap orifices, you just need to get the hose to hook it up.
