re: Boil Seafood with Natural Gas

It is the same
Not at all. Propane has 2.5 times the heat value of methane so the heat release is much higher with propane. That is why appliances like a dryer that are designed for natural gas need a restricting orifice installation if you use propane in them. Without restricting the flow the dryer would run too hot.
Natural gas will work for boils, it's just slower. And that's why adding burner tips for natural gas burners is a good idea, in order to get more flow.

I agree. It’s faster to use propane. But way more convenient and quiet to use the natural gas. And I get to drink more beer while I’m waiting on it to boil. It’s a win to me.

Uncle Bob had the same setup back in the 60s. Can't think of anyone that sold crawfish in the New Orleans area at the time. It's a crawfish boil, so the amount of time to boil water and get it back to a boil should not matter. It's about standing around, drinking a couple of beers and waiting for the first round of testing. Hell, I think my Pops and Uncle Charlie wanted them to go longer so they could drink more Falstaff

Who is Uncle Bob?
Also, I’m sort of interested in possibly going back to natural gas if I can get multi jet burners to cover the bottom of my pot. Hassle with propane would be my only reason.
For all you plumbers I have a question. In this thread I read I think that a low or high pressure guage is placed on main meter to allow for low pressure throughout the house. Having a separate gas line for my backyard that is specifically used for a gas grill. Can I add a high pressure guage at this one location to pressure use this one specific line to get more pressure or not?

Here are a few pictures of my set up. I use it with a 100 qt pot and the pot barely hangs over the edges.
