If you are a do it yourself gas connector, the only real issue is where is the gas source you are connecting to. If there is not already a connection point, it is best to have a qualified person to tie into the gas line in your house/attic/etc....unless you are a plumber do it your selfer (my opinion).

We had ours done at construction. Have been using natural gas grill for at least the last 10 years (5 of them here). It is so convenient to not ever have to mind not running out of gas. Plus it is a nice back up in the event of an electrical utility problem.

Bill,

I think that there is more to it then that. From what I understand there is a difference in the burners and the regulator. I do get to buy a new grill when we get down there in a couple of weeks. I'm a pretty good plumber and I work with toxic gasses all the time in the semiconductor industry so I also know how to properly leak check a gas line. The only glitch is that I think you need to be a certified contractor to legally do something like this in which case I would have to hire someone.
