You don't need them for a propane grill. I put them in though because I like the flavor it adds to what I am cooking.

That is going to be up to personal preference. Propane tends to have a hotter flame than natural gas. Propane requires tanks, while natural gas can be piped in from your home service. I prefer natural gas, as grilling slow gives me better results than fast.

How do you build a propane burner for bbq smoker?
I recently built a food smoker out of a food grade barrel and wanted to heat it using propane. After researching the Internet and pricing out parts, I found the easiest way to get the propane burner was to buy a cheap old gas grill off of Craigslist and salvage the parts I wanted. Basically all you need to do is take the fittings off of the grill and find a way to attach them to the inside of your barrel or smoker. I then bent up a small wire rack that holds a pan for my smoking chips, with the burners right underneath it. I've been able to get my 55 gallon drum up to 300 degrees or more. Long story short, they're hard to build, easy to salvage.

How many BTUs are in a gallon of propane?
Type your answer here... there are around 91,600 BTUs in a gallon of propane. The standard BBQ sized bottle of propane contains 11 pounds of propane. Propane weighs about 4.2 pounds per gallon, so that 11 pounds of propane is about 2.5 gallons in its liquid state. That means there is 91,600 BTUs/Gal times 2.5 gallons so a BBQ sized tank of propane contains about 2.3 million BTUs. If your BBQ has a 50,000 BTU burner, on high heat, it will last a bit over 4 and half hours of run time.
