Natural Gas Or LPG Barbecue

If you’ve made your choice that a gas BBQ is for you then the next decision you’ll be asked to make is whether you want a natural gas or LPG barbecue. It’s a simple choice and by the time you’ve read this page you’ll have a very clear idea about what is the best solution for you.

What’s The Difference?

Gas is gas right? Well yes. The only difference between LPG (liquid propane) and natural gas is the fact that LPG is supplied in a bottle or tank.

Natural Gas

Natural gas is essentially that which is supplied by your local utility company. It’s the same stuff that’s used to fire your boiler or indoor cooker piped directly into your house. So for your BBQ it’s simply just a matter of directing a pipe to your outdoor kitchen and connecting it up. The negative is that once your barbecue is plumbed in, that’s it, you can’t move it.

LPG (Liquid Propane Gas)

Because liquid propane gas is supplied in a tank, the clear difference is that this means you can move your barbecue around the patio or garden to suit your needs. Refil tanks are generally available at your gas station and are connected to your barbecue via a regulator and a rubber pipe.

There are a number of different suppliers of LPG and each will have a custom connection so when getting yourself set up, take care always to buy from the same gas supplier.

The obvious disadvantage of LPG is that the tank can run out. Always have a full spare otherwise it could ruin your weekend.

Price

There’s nothing here to influence your choice it’s just a matter of specifying which source of gas. If you’ve already got a model in mind then you can check prices here .
