Default Propane vs. Nat. Gas

I live in a rural area currently with electric only. No pun intended.
There are rumors of nat. gas coming soon, but who knows when. We want a
gas stove. Am considering propane. I have a propane stove at the cabin
and it works fine. Heats fast, bakes good. We don't use it a lot, not
nearly as much as we would at the primary house.

For those who have/have had both propane and natural gas, is it worth it
to wait for the natural gas, or just do the propane thing. And then
convert when it gets there if we choose to?

I certainly like propane for grilling, but can't compare as I have never
used nat. for outdoor cooking. Is there a big difference in that?

Last house had natural gas. I grew up with gas appliances. Moved here
and had electric. Hated it so we went to propane. No noticeable
difference between the two. You can always convert when the time comes.
Put in a line for the gill while you are at it.


I like to move the grill around too much, and am drawing plans for a thirty
five foot tall deck, so would be taking it up there for cookouts. If you
are going to leave the grill in one place, yes, by all means, plumb it in.
Safer, easier, better. We have different areas, so mobility is a prime
consideration.
