Not only that, natural gas is lighter-than-air so if there is a leak,
there's less of a problem than LPG which is heavier than air and would
accumulate until it finds a source of ignition and blooie! A friend
of mine learned that the hard way when a leaky BBQ bottle caused a
fire that burned down half his house including a library of special
books and writings that he had inherited from his scholar father.
