gas pipe size

I plan to run 30' pipe to natural gas 3 burner barbecue from the gas meter. Would 1/2" be adequate or should I use 3/4" pipe for that length? Thank you, Seamus J. Wilson


And the burners are 8000 btu or 15000 or

Use the larger pipe. Doesn't cost all that much more. The big cost is labor. And you may want to put in a crematorium or do sacrifices there later. It would not be pleasant to find out that your creatorium is under fueled.

A bit of 1/4" plastic tubing will work.

About thirty feet.

They use plastic for runs from the street tot he meter now. Supposed to last 50+ years.
