I'm not sure what state you live in, but in New York, it is illegal to do that. Well at leat the gas company will not allow anyone to do that. We too have a natural gas well on our property, get a check every month for it, but we are not allowed to "tap" into it. It is a major fire/explosion risk!! and definately do not try to do it yourself!! Those wells go down miles and are under a ton of pressure!

Hello, You will need a licensed plumber to do this job so he can follow local codes and your installation will be in compliance. If you do this yourself and some accident results you will be liable. And if you go to sell the house and this is not a legal hookup then you will have to take it out and face possible fines. Good luck

I'd call someone to have it done.
