I have a natural gas line in my back yard ready to go. Does the BBQ come with a gas line and if not, what do I need to buy?

Mine came with a short gas line for the unit only. Meaning it runs from the burners to just outside the grill. You'll have to have a hose/line to go from your gas line to the grill.

when we purchased this grill it came with a short hose, but the chances of it fitting the gas head that you have are probably slim. my recommendation would be to pay a few bucks for professional installation, which will give peace of mind when you start firing up all 48k btu on a nice steak. We have been using this grill for about 2 months, and love it. its easy to clean, cooks very evenly, and looks nice.

You will need a regulator (I forget the PSI but it's in the installation manual) rigid pipe or code-compliant flex hose and the services of a licensed gas installer.

It has standard pipe fittings for natural gas, but you should be able to add the correct fittings to hook up to propane. Try Home depot for fittings.

We do not have natural gas in the rural areas in the foothill. I connected my BBQ to an axillary line used for my homes propane heat,and Kitchen stove. The Quick connect and disconnect is on our back Deck for my BBQ.

I took the propane bits off before I even assembled the grill and connected it to my house's natural gas line. Works perfectly. They want you to buy a "conversion kit" which tells you to remove the bits and connect a hose (which you can get at home depot for a few bucks). YouTube it.

The version I purchased came as a propane grill, but it is adaptable for natural gas. A great grill!

I don't use one with my homes natural gas. You would probably need one if you're using propane

Hi, Good post you have here, and I'm almost ready to go out and buy this Cuisinart bbq grill. About the propane tank filling up thingy: you really don't need to guess anymore about how much gas is left in your tank. At Walmart, H. Depot, Harbor Freight, etc. you can get a small gauge hookup that you just quickly screw into your tank-to-grill hoses, and just keep tabs on the amount of gas you have left by looking at the glass gauge. I think it's around $15-19. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Yes, through Weber... but you most likely will need a licensed plumber or someone qualified to work with natural gas to get it hooked up

It comes with both the hose and regulator. All you do is furnish the tank and it's ready to go. Best BBQ I've cooked with in over 50 years!!!

You cannot buy a natural gas tank. Natural gas is supplied to your home. You're thinking of propane?

No. I had to hire a plumber to run a separate line From my natural gas source. He also made me a selperate line from the generator to the gas hook up. This generator needs a specific amount of PSI to do the job right. Hire a licensed plumber to do the job right ,for the safety of your family. having said that,I am extremely pleased with the generator. I finally have peace of mind !

Do not hook it to a natural gas line, the regulator is not set up to handle natural gas. Propane burns differently and you could have serious fire/explosion issues with natural gas.

When I installed my unit I wondered the same thing. I called the distributor and asked what the gas requirements were and then called my HVAC man and told him the requirements. He had me call the gas company to verify that my current meter would provide adequate gas for my current needs plus the generator. The meter was adequate, the pipe from the meter to my generator (about 25 feet) needed to be 1 inch and I needed a special stainless braided line connector. The BBQ hose was not nearly large enough. The proper hose cost over $100.00 for an 18 inch length. It was a lot of trouble and expense but I know that the generator will work when I need it, even if the furnace and hot water heater are also running.

it's natural gas. there is also a propane version--make sure you order the correct one.

it does not come with any butane. just go to your local hardware store and buy some butane, to order butane online would have ridiculously expensive shipping and handling because you're transporting gas.

You need to get the grill for propane. It isn't clearly marked when you make the purchase. I bought the natural gas grill in error and had to purchase a conversion kit.

Can't remember. You can pick up the nat gas connection hose at any Home Depot. This is a great grill!!!!
