Both natural gas and propane can power grills, with each fuel offering benefits to users. The decision between natural gas and propane can be confusing since both provide an excellent, reliable source of heat. Brotherton Propane in West Plains, MO, explains the difference between the two and how each is a viable option for your grill.

Natural Gas or Propane? Which Should You Choose?

Natural Gas

Natural gas is a green fuel source that burns clean and is also energy efficient. While converting to natural gas may entail an upfront cost, using it will save money in the long run since you don’t have to have a stock of it like you do with propane.

Natural gas is especially useful if you cook outside multiple times a week and use your grill frequently. There is an unlimited supply stemming from your gas line. Natural gas also offers users convenience; there are no propane tanks to fill or exchange. Once your grill is connected to the gas line, you simply turn the knobs and start cooking.

Propane

Propane is also a clean fuel with a small impact on the planet. It produces minimal pollutants unlike charcoal and other fuels. Propane contains more energy than natural gas and produces more heat for barbecuing, making grilling easier since temperatures are high and consistent. You can also have a regular propane gas delivery so that you are never stuck without it during a barbecue.

For locations far from the main gas line or in living arrangements, like apartments or other buildings, propane is the more cost-effective option. Getting connected to the main line can be expensive and also incredibly difficult. In these cases, propane is a more convenient choice.
