    So i tried searching about this topic but had no luck. It's somewhat specific and maybe i'm dumb for asking but i dont know enough about the difference in properties between natural gas and propane..

    Anyways the question is if i have a propane burner forge, can i just get a drop for my natural gas line into my garage and simple plug and play the natural gas line into the propane forge and have it work? Are there other considerations when doing this? are there big downfalls of natural gas vs propane or vice versa?

    I've been toying with the idea of doing that since natural gas is very cheap and i wouldnt have to refill a tank ever. 

    Propane is 1/3 more powerful than natural gas with the same amount of volume.  

  2. I was trying to see if I could use NG vs propane.   I have 25 feet of run of 3/4 gas line  with medium pressure 2 lbs) which comes out to 1,800,000 BTU at the forge.  If I use a 3 heads it would be splits between the 3 heads.  I am a novice at forging but I can figure BTU. Any help would be great before I buy or build the forge
