Blackstone to natural gas?

I'm thinking of purchasing a 4 burner Blackstone this weekend. When I built my house, the plumber stubbed out a natural gas pipe under my porch for future outdoor kitchen possibilities. It's a black, natural gas pipe that's just capped.
How difficult is it to convert a Blackstone to NG?
Can it be done through quick connect fittings?
Can I come off of that pipe, into a valve and then to a quick connect receiver that my Blackstone would connect into?
Is this too much to DIY?
Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure they sell NG adapters for them. I was cheap and drilled out the orifices to a larger diameter. Can't remember what size but I did a fair amount of research before doing it. Bought a hose and quick adapter from Amazon. Been flawless the last few years since I did it.
Pretty sure this is what I followed.

it's NOT 3/32 or 7/64, but #51, which is a diameter of .0670. Bit is 10 bucks on amazon, just search for .0670 drill bit.

As far as the grill, Blackstone sells a conversion kit which comes with a hose and quick release. There are a few varieties for different grills. Check the chart
For the connection to the house, I went more classy than a pipe with a valve and attached a double quick connect to allow for a future built-in plus an accessory if wanted/needed.
EDIT: To be safe from insurance company scrutiny, I had a plumber make the attachment to the house (even though I have replaced a water heater gas valve without one.)
This rig has two safety features I liked
1. It won't let a hose be disconnected without the associated valve being closed.
2. It has a thermal protection in case of a leak/fire at the connection point. At 300f, an internal mechanism will shut off any gas flow.

Congratulations on your outdoor frying pan.
I don’t get the fascination with this griddle thing.
