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.

Switch from natural gas to propane side burner on grill Can i switch a natural gas burner over to use propane?

this can be done but its not as simply as just hooking it up. you will need to change the manifold which is not always readily available. depending upon the manufacturer of the grill, you will likely need to order an L.P. (Propane) manifold directly from the manufacturer. Most propane distributors will convert natural gas appliances to LP for a modest fee. It is a matter of changing orifice sizes to let less gas into the appliance. Since propane burns about 4 times hotter than gas, an orifice which is about half the diameter is used. We had all of our gas appliances, dryer, stove, BBQ, converted when we moved from a location with natural gas to propane.


Can you convert a propane bbq to a natural gas bbq?

Natural gas and propane are crompressed at different pressures so the require differnt orifices for burners to meter the gas. There are some logistical problems, natural gas tanks are much bulkier than propane and are much less convenient to refill and weigh more for equal volume, this is the reason campers run on propane. Also, hooking to your house gas if you were able to change the orifice would seem dangerous, most CNG things in your house are effectively permanent (water heater, stove, dryer) they arent outside and the dont move. Could you convert it? Yes. Would it be worth the time, effort, and risk? No
