@builderbrigade: 🏆 My pick: Natural gas if your area has access easier and usually cheaper.
Go propane if you’re building in a rural area or off the grid.
👇All the tips and ideas from my videos are organized in here:

If you’re building a house, you’ve got two main options for gas:
✅ Propane – Delivered by truck and stored in a tank (either above ground or buried)
✅ Natural Gas – Comes straight from the utility company through underground lines (no tank needed)
Both can power some awesome features like:
🔥 Gas lanterns at your front door
🔥 A direct line to your grill (no more swapping tanks)
🔥 Backyard fire features for the win
So what’s your pick? Propane, natural gas, or none at all?

Is it possible to have natural gas for day to day but to also have a backup tank of propane? Or are the systems too dissimilar?

You didn’t mention that it depends on what’s available in your area. You can only get natural gas if you live closer to the city, country folks are pretty much forced to use propane

If you're lucky and have an oil well on your property like my grandpa does, it produces natural gas and you don't have to pay for it. But you gotta be lucky to have an oil well.

how long does a big tank last, and which gas is cheapest?

Smaller multiple tanks are better as it will cost less to be refilled less to replace and easier to carry and maintain and you can build a small good looking shed for it 😅 with small ones you can send some one to refill it in stead of ordering a truck 😅

Now gas is good and those additions to the home are cool in all but remember every line that comes from the private side of the meter is strictly the homeowners responsibility. Utility locators cannot mark that unless the are private side locators (which aren’t cheap) so 811 is useless for those lines
