Default Propane rip-off? Go natural!

One fellow I know did just that. Put in a gas line to his
outdoor grill. That's fine as long as the natural gas is
working. Which is essentially all the time.

Great idea. I can have it done for about $25,000 or so.


We had to run a new line 100' to a location farther from the cabin. Used
the old tank. Cost of changeover ......... $527. The prices in your area
must be higher.

Likely he means there is no natural gas on the street. My brother was in
a similar situation. The nearest line was only 1/2 block away (maybe
250') and they wanted $9,000 quite some time ago to extend the line. He
had the piping in his house sized for natural gas and put propane in and
waited. Maybe five years ago they extended the line down his street to
serve other new homes and he had them put a drop in to his house.
