Prices on both commodities depend on the market for which they are most closely associated with as well as the time of year ("season"). A gallon (Methane converted from MMBTu unit of measure to Gallon) to gallon comparison of Methane ("Natural Gas") to Propane currently tracks close, in some markets, Methane yeilding just under a dollar & propane above a dollar. (Note: prices are always subject to market conditions; supply, demand, associated expenses to take the product to market.)

Should I use propane or natural gas with my BBQ?

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.


What are the differences between a natural gas stove and a propane stove in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness?

In terms of efficiency, natural gas stoves are generally more efficient than propane stoves because natural gas burns cleaner and hotter. However, propane stoves can be more cost-effective in areas where natural gas is not readily available, as propane can be stored and transported more easily.


What is the difference between cooking with propane and natural gas?

The main difference between cooking with propane and natural gas is the source of the fuel. Propane is a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, while natural gas is a fossil fuel extracted from underground reservoirs. Propane is stored in tanks and delivered to homes, while natural gas is supplied through pipelines. In terms of cooking, both fuels burn cleanly and efficiently, but propane tends to burn hotter than natural gas.


Is a yellow flame of a Bunsen burner hotter than the blue flame?

No, a blue flame of a Bunsen burner is hotter than a yellow flame. The blue flame indicates complete combustion of the gas, which produces a higher temperature compared to the yellow flame's incomplete combustion.


Why do manufacturers recommend you don not use propane in a natural gas burner?

They are two different fuels with different properties, ie, natural gas = 1000 BTU/hour per cubic foot, Propane = 2500 BTU/hour per cubic foot (vapor). Most burners can be converted by simply changing to the recommended burner nozzles. Additionally the pressure regulator and /or fuel valve may need to be changed.
