The technical requirements of Weber gas grills vary dependent on the type of grill you are buying. If for example you are purchasing a portable gas grill then you will need a disposable 14.1 or 16.4 ounce LP (Liquefied Petroleum) cylinder. However, if you are purchasing a standing grill you can usually select whether your grill runs on LP or Natural Gas. If you choose natural gas then you MUST have a supply point at your home, the grill will come with a hose to attach to the supply point. If you select an LP grill then you can purchase disposable and refillable cannisters that you can attach to your grill. Always do a gas leak check when changing the supply and always turn off the gas when the grill is not in use.
