This is old experience (40 years ago) so depending on the age of your boiler it may not be applicable.
I'd go for the conversion because you can easily convert it to propane with a simple orifice change down the road.

Thanks Mike. At some point a CNG rep should be stopping by to let us know what's doable and what's not. I'd like to think a "newer" boiler would be capatible, or at least convertible, with multiple fuel burners but I don't know.
