Not here in BC. Mine is connected to the quick release coupling on the
patio pillar by a 10 Ft. rubber hose (although I don't roll it around-I
could)

At the rate we use the propane for the BBQ, we might use two or three
20# bottles a year. Yes, it is a pain if you have your own bottle, and
must make a special trip to a refill center, wait for someone to come
out and refill your tank. But if you use the exchange program from a
place you visit anyway, like Home Cheapo, you drop your empty off on
the way in and tell the cashier you want a replacement on the way out,
pay about $12 and you're done. Since we have a shed in the back yard,
it is no problem to store a spare out of the elements, and it's handy
if the one on the BBQ runs out. Since months go by between running out
of gas, there is plenty of time to get a replacement.
If one is careful to keep a spare handy, running out of gas is only a
temporary thing, and then other factors like price, quality and
mobility predominate.
BTW, if one tried to convert a propane grill to use natural gas,
wouldn't the orifices on each burner have to be changed? Are these
orifices commonly available where grills are sold? At Home Cheapo?

And backup. Your gas supply network could be attacked or have an accident.
The propane fueled grill could then serve as a backup (if you use natural
gas for your stove).

Yes.

Certainly from the manufacturer.

This is a populuar topic here, and I wanted to say this the last time.
Not about grills but about my frien'ds GE gas wall-mounted oven: it
could be converted from NG to propane and back just by adjusting the
air intake.

My brother's last house had that, built into a sandstone wall around
their patio. The wall matched or complemented the house construction,
stone facing iirc. The wall and grill looked like somethign one could
do himself, and the gas too I guess. I don't know how much it cost or
how much they used it, but it certainly gave a luxury look to the
patio, and the whole house to some extent.
With NG, if there were a leak, wouldn't it be better if it were
outside than inside?
