natural gas to heat wort?


Some homes [at least where I come from] have a natural gas line [not for the fireplace] on the outside of the house to attach to one of those non-pportable bbq's and what not.


My question is will natural gas have enough pressur and btu's to heat the wort at the same rate as those advertised floor burners?

I know they have natural gas conversion kits; but the just curious as to the available heat from natural gas insted of having to refill propane tanks that can be a pain in the butt.

Natural gas is slightly less efficient than propane (not sure on exactly how much) but I'm sure the cost would quickly offset itself. I've considered putting one of these connectors on my house as propane costs add up quickly.

I have a natural gas burner on the side of my BBQ, and I use it to brew. It boils 10 gals of wort just fine, but it does take almost an hour in an uncovered Bayou Classic pot.

this one gets it going pretty quick. I built it and it uses one of the 23 tip wok burners.

I use a Blichmann NG burner with the leg extensions. It's the best thing I have bought for this hobby. You can't beat it.

I use Natural Gas for my boil kettle, but I did have to upsize the flex hose going to it to 3/8" id to get sufficient btu's from it.
