I've never owned a natural gas grill and was nervous about how to properly hook it up. I learned you can call your local energy company (at least in Seattle you can!) and they will come make sure the connection is OK. Turned out I needed to buy a quick disconnect to go from the supply line to the bbq. I did that, then learned the 1/2" end didn't match the 3/8" end on the grill. Yikes. Thank goodness for a great recommendation to a local plumbing supply company that was open on a Saturday! Bought a "flare" to connect the hose to the grill, and voila.  This was a big purchase for me, and I teetered about getting a grill this size. But I do like to grill and am really glad I went with this model. I'd owned a 2 burner Spirit before that used propane. This way will be much more convenient. I really like the stainless look and am glad it made this choice.
