On the manufacturers site for our model it says propane only. They sell conversion kits for other models but they are about double the price for the 5 burner Druze we got.<br /> It is annoying since we have the natural gas line already set up. However we decided to just keep this for now and have two propane tanks, so we always have a backup. :meh:<br /> @gotkimchi: i love coal grills and nearly bought one! Apparently though we can put wood chips in the gas burner somehow to get that smoky flavor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829245 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 09:02:45 +0000 Sams Mom 2829245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they don't sell a conversion kit to NG for your grill, I would exchange it for one that was NG. Growing up we always used propane because we had an all electric house (my uncle did run a line off of his huge tank for his house to his grill :silly: ). Now that I have a house with NG for heat and hot water, I would run a line off of it in a heartbeat when we buy a new grill that isn't charcoal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829237 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 08:37:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2829237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always just had propane and always just have an extra tank around and it's not a big deal... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829198 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 20:58:38 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2829198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: 😆 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829189 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 19:42:52 +0000 Madison43 2829189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh. I think natural gas is preferable but propane is not really a huge deal. When we rebuilt our patio last year we had to sacrifice our natural gas connection in the redesign. We were bummed but it’s ending up being no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829187 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 19:41:13 +0000 gotkimchi 2829187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys there’s only one answer here. Charcoal :silly: actually we’ve had propane and gas hook up and I can’t say we fine one better then the other??? And now we’re back to a trusty Weber so I guess we’re grill whores </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829186 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 19:34:25 +0000 Jennibenni 2829186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get another one that you can connect directly. I would not want to deal with propane tanks if I had a line available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829169 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 18:34:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2829169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our propane tank was always empty so my husband bought a second one so we could swap the empty out for a full and then refill at our leisure, and now we have two propane tanks that are always empty. </p> <p>Go for natural gas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829167 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 18:31:12 +0000 ALV91711 2829167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Natural gas for sure. We switched about a year ago and love ours. So much less hassle and never running out of propane mid cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829157 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 17:57:32 +0000 agold 2829157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Natural gas for sure since you already have the setup for it. We hate dealing with propane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829152 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 17:46:14 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2829152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Natural gas for sure. Propane is annoying to deal with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829149 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 17:34:03 +0000 codeitall 2829149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooof, hard choice. I'd hunt around for one that could run on your natural gas and see what the prices are like. Then, I'd check to see if your manufacturer sells conversion kits or if there is one compatible for your grill: <a href="https://www.familyhandyman.com/grills/gas-grill-propane-to-natural-gas-conversion/view-all/" rel="nofollow">https://www.familyhandyman.com/grills/gas-grill-propane-to-natural-gas-conversion/view-all/</a></p> <p>Don't forget to factor in time too, if you switch, you may have to return the current grill, then go buy the new one, if you convert, that may be a longer project than you anticipate.</p> <p>If it is within $50 of the one you have, I'd stick with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/natural-gas-grill-or-propane-tank-wwyd#post-2829140 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 16:59:32 +0000 Mrsbells 2829140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the fahers day sale we bought a gas grill. We assumed it could be converted to natural gas. But after picking it up from the store( they wouldnt deliver) and setting it up we realized what we bought is propane gas only and not dual. We are a bit bummed because we have a gas line that we could have connected to the grill to avoid dealing with propane tanks.<br /> We are torn between keeping the grill since we like everything about it and got a great price, or returning it for a model that can run on natural gas.<br /> WWYD? </p>
