However this thread, and the extremely drop in temperature (53°F to 5°F in about 12 hours) has me thinking that I should do this sooner rather than later, forgo the natural gas hookup for now, and just keep an adequate supply of gasoline in the garage.
Does your NG adapter also allow use of a propane tank?

Thinking about it, it seems more convenient to store propane than gasoline, if only because propane doesn’t go bad.
