Backyard Natural Gas to Propane conversion?

First time OBr here. I figured this would be a much better place than the OT to pose this scenario.
I've just recently moved into a new house, in which I had them add an external gas line in my backyard to eventually add a grill. Last week I'm finally ready to hook it up. I get everything I think I need and of course I'm getting no action. Come to find out, I think I need some kind of conversion kit, but I don't know much about this kind of stuff. Here's some pics of what I got, hopefully you guys can let me know what I need or don't have. TIA.

I didn't do any type of conversion and I did the same thing on my back porch.

Propane and natural gas use different flow rates when burning. The kit you need will change the orifice size for natural gas in your grill. You don't want to run natural gas with out changing the orifice. It will burn hotter and can damage your grill. It's all about orifice.

You need the conversion kit for the grill and while you are at the hardware store picking it up grab a can of spray paint for that has piping outside.

The regulator on the grill is going to be high pressure the grill might be having trouble with that also...

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...
OP: do it right and you won't regret it...safety functionality, longevity and then appearance(in that order) are your primary concerns...
you want something that will take care of the first three...and it can be done in a cost effective manner... do you need stainless? not necessarily the plain gray QD hoses will do just fine but if you leave the hose outside or occasionally nick it with a weed eater the stainless braiding will help it last much longer...
