There are two types of high-efficiency gas fire: open-front or glass-front. The open-front fires tend to have an efficiency rating of about 70 – 75%, whereas glass-fronted fires tend to be closer to 80 – 90%.

What Are Decorative Gas Effect Fires? A decorative flame effect gas fire is an inset gas fire designed to give a low, but complimentary, heat level to a room. This type of gas fire is typically used in a room where an alternative heat source is also available.

However, the modern conventional flue gas fires by DRU still have energy efficiency ratings of between 75 and 80%, a far superior performance to ordinary open fronted gas fires.

On the other hand, running natural gas through an appliance designed for propane will result in an undersized flame – or no flame at all – which will render the appliance unable to perform its desired function.

Propane is usually more expensive than natural gas, but the same amount produces about twice as much heat. In some areas, natural gas is more economical, and in others, propane costs less. Both types of fuel are more efficient and less expensive than electricity in many regions.

The only difference between a propane grill and a natural gas grill are the burners and regulators. So why is this grill more expensive? The reason is the hose and fitting that run from the grill to the connection in your house.

While propane has more power, more than twice the BTU power of natural gas, grills are designed to release less propane into the burner than natural gas. The orifice holes for propane are much smaller than those for natural gas.

Propane tanks and natural gas lines are both “fuel sources” for gas grills. Many customers who leave their fuel source “on” do so as a matter of convenience. In addition to safety reasons, for LP (propane) grills, leaving the tank valve on can easily lead to a grill going into reduced gas flow state known as bypass.

The reason for this increase in price point is the fitting and hose that runs from the gas grill to your home. The natural gas grills typically come with longer hoses and a fast disconnect fitting as compared to those of the propane gas grill.

First, natural gas grills and propane grills are not the same thing, so be sure to shop for the right type. Some areas require a permit.
