Anyone know of a good, inexpensive place to get this done? I'm getting tired of having to go refill propane every so often....

Your licensed plumber is qualified to installed propane tubing/piping.

A point to ask your plumber or the manufactuer of your grill. I think that bottled propane and natural gas that is in our(your) home is two different animals. Your grill may need the gas valve changed or modifed to accept/run on natural gas. I dont think its a big deal to do but I think not doing it can lead to big problems (KaBoom!) Better safe than sorry.

and will need a venturi change for proper air/fuel ratio. Most gas indoor cooktops come with the change parts.
Good article here.
