Content: On those homes using propane as a gas source, a grill set up for propane can generally be supplied directly from a house line as the pressure is regulated at the tank. Check with your propane dealer to assure compatibility. Natural Gas or N/G Gas Supply
Although the natural gas pressure supplied to your home is regulated by your local gas company, some grills designed for natural gas also incorporate an additional regulator at the grill to assure the maximum gas pressure supplied to the grill. The majority of newer natural gas models do not use an additional regulator and connect directly to the home natural gas supply line. BTU Ratings
Grill models are individually designed to operate at specific BTU ratings. The BTU rating is a measurement of how much heat your grill will generate and this rating can be found on the nameplate data on your grill. Typical Grill Nameplate
The nameplate data may state the BTU rating in two different ways - as per burner or as a total rating for the grill. As an example the rating may be 40,000 BTUs total or 20,000 BTU's per burner. ( This becomes particularly confusing when you model incorporates a "dual" burner which is manufactured as a single unit with each side individually controlled by it's own control knob. In this case each side would have a 20,000 BTU rating for a total of 40,000 BTUs.)
