Folks
I'm in the process of building a new brew shed and since gas fills for my 4 ring burner (low pressure) and BBQ are costing me a fortune (about 15-20 fills/year), I'm looking at getting them both permanently plumbed in to the gas supply. The question is - which one? We have town gas connected to the house so the obvious solution is to convert the BBQ and burner to natural gas and get some bayonet points put in. Trouble is that I've heard that even after conversion, natural gas just doesn't have the oomf of LPG. The other option is to hire a large 90/120kg LPG cylinder with on-site top up and have them plumbed into that.
LPG will be dearer and require a separate set of gas plumbing so my preference on cost and convenience is natural but is it up to the task?
Anyone else had experience with natural gas conversions? Even the mighty Google isn't much help this time.
Cheers
Dave
