Natural Gas vs LPG BBQs
The main difference between the two types of BBQs is that natural gas BBQ’s require a natural gas connection whereas LPG BBQ’s on the other hand are supplied by small LPG cylinders.
LPG BBQs
Advantages
- LPG BBQs are more readily available
- You can move your LPG BBQ around
- Lower upfront costs
Disadvantages
- LPG cylinders run out so it’s always good to have a spare
- Costs more to refill than connecting directly to the natural gas line
Natural Gas BBQs
Advantages
- You’ll always have a continuous gas supply
- They are cheaper to operate
- Provides a seamless look to your outdoor kitchen
Disadvantages
- Costs more to set up and install
- You won’t be able to move it from the gas point

BBQ Gas Storage

FAQs
BBQ Gas conversion kits are readily available to convert your natural gas BBQ into an LPG BBQ. However, you’ll need a licenced gas fitter to install any conversion kits to your BBQ. It’s also important to note that you can’t hook your existing natural gas BBQ to an LPG cylinder or an LPG to a natural gas line without converting it first.
Yes! BBQ cylinders are customer owned, as long as the cylinder complies with the Australian Standards, they can be swapped at any one of our locations. The same applies for BBQ cylinders delivered and exchanged by Southwest Gas.
Ultimately the better option will come down to your individual preferences. Many people prefer LPG BBQs as they are more flexible. You can move them around freely because they don’t require a gas point. However, others may prefer a natural gas BBQ as you don’t need to refill and change the gas bottle. In terms of heat and energy efficiency, both are pretty similar.
