I doubt that's true... there are many rules regarding underground
plumbing, the gas connect stancheon and valving, and where to place
the grill in relation to combustible materials, but there are no rules
against connecting with an approved flexible quick disconnect hose,
typically 15' long and longer. To my knowlege one can roll their
natural gas grill wherever so long as it is in compliance with the
fire codes for distances from combustibles, same for propane. Never
ever place any grill on a wood deck.
