I'm sure $20 between friends for a propane refill isn't going to hurt

May want to make the thread a little longer before they anchor it.

the gas will not provide enough pressure to that burner, even if the orifice is drilled out.

You can boil crawfish with natural gas burner. Not enough pressure to generate the required heat.

you wont have enough pressure to boil crawfish if you hook up a regular burner to a natural gas line

you have to get a burner specially made for natural gas

like one of these:

natural gas isn't going to work with a jet

you don't have enough pressure or volume coming from your house

I have one like Ash linked. That thing puts out a lot of heat. I had an old double propane burner that had rusted jets that didnt work very well. Cut it with a torch and attached the natural gas burner to it. Good to go.
