Hi, new to ABS so this might have been covered before but my question is this: Is it possible to use the natural gas coming to my house for burner fuel?

 

Thank you.

Yes, it is possible. I know of two professional shops that use NG for their forges. One is in Phoenix and the other is in NYC. You CANNOT use standard propane burners with natural gas. That will cause an explosion hazard. The orifice size on the burners is different for LPG and NG. They also operate at different PSI (IIRC)

I would not recommend trying to do this without getting the correct burners and some professional help.
