One of the most comprehensive, well-explained and professionally presented videos I have seen on You-tube. You covered every step, and explained the why behind it. Well done. Thank-you.

My friend bought a natural gas grille and did this same project. We did it ourselves up to code. We did pull a permit. So after we were done, we had the inspection and the inspector really busted our balls. We had the safety shut off in the basement and outside like this video. The inspector said we had to move the valve to the wall on the inside of the basement and put a stole there because children cannot reach it in an emergency. He also made us get much larger valves which actually has larger inlet and outlets so we had to adapt. We had to do this on both int inside and outside. He also required us to have signs made to be posted inside and outside (near the grille) and a third one next to the main shut off at the meter that were very large to indicate where the emergency shut off was. He told me that some guy in town did the same thing and had an issue and no one could find the shut off. It wasn't a major inconvenience but took us two more weeks to get it done waiting for the signs from the sign guy and the post inspection.

Classic. This guy killed it.

When we had our house built, they put a gas line out to the back patio of our house since we were going to have a full range stove & oven there. However, due to the amount of winds Oklahoma gets, we never got a gas model, but if we were to buy a grill, I'd know what to get.

The benefit of NG to the grill does mean you can grill year round. Couldn't tell you how many times I fire up the grill and wait for that 3 inches of snow on top to melt off. Yeah it is an old grill so I don't cover it any more.

I have a similar set up however everything is propane as we don't have gas in our area. It's great not having to worry about an empty propane tank in the middle of cooking.

Where do I get the quick attach to the BBQ?

A gas grill is anathema to me, yet I'll watch anything This Old House puts out.

Why didn't Richard drill a locating pilot hole from the basement to the outside?

I like having both ng and lp for backup.

Great ! It looks very good! Maintain the helpful work!

That was a great video. So for most applications you just need to change the orifices to accommodate for the NG after you have a connection?

I love these guys I learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

Cutting and threading gas line is not THAT bad, guys. The 'mess' is limited if you know what you're doing, and it doesn't take much more time than piecing it all together. The less fittings, the better. It's a much cleaner and prettier job to have your black iron custom fit.

great, very detail. just got a Weber Genesis as well. thanks

How would you install a drip from the ground level straight up through the deck board to connect the gas adapter for the gas grill hose with quick connect?

What a foursome! Grew up watching 3/4 of the guys here. Blissful nostalgia :)

Great video Richard

Besides the NP orifices' you illustrate, did you also use a NP regulator ? I'm stuck at the point of connecting the NP gas hose from the main gas source to my Weber grill ( I have the NP orifices installed) have a NP regulator and a connection hose but not sure how to complete / connect to the grill ?

nice video, keep up the good job !!!

Interesting video. I thought you were going to show the conversion of the grill as well. I've spent over 30 years as a gasfitter and ended up as a gas inspector in Australia. Because of that experience, I can easily convert between imperial and metric. I found it fascinating that the USA still use steel pipe, admittedly with pre-cut sections. Here, we have used copper pipe for over 30 years but in the last ten have seen the use of Polyethylene cross linked aluminum pipe (it looks like plastic) make massive inroads in new housing projects. Your test pressure of 3 psi is exactly the same here expressed as 21 kilopascals. I could write a book in my reply but won't. Keep up the good work. Rob
