Thanks Paul,

Yah, I was thinking of trying that, but since the gas pipes in the
house are black iron, I'd have to do some non-trivial work to get it
piped outside.

OTOH, I have gas running to the fireplace with access via the basement
below, so it might be as simple as replacing an elbow with a "T" and
then using reducers to get it down to a size I can use flexible tubing
on, at least for experimentation purposes.

Now I need to look up the code standards for -that-...

A propane tank I could just place near the pond, but no way would I go
to the trouble to run 3/4" ID iron pipe out to the pond, but if I can
find some code-acceptable flexible tubing I could run underground, I'd
be in business.

That's assuming that NG would work better than propane, of course.

Since the propane was so sensitive to wind, I kinda think NG would be
even worse. But then, that's why it's called "experimentation".

Mike,
Interesting idea. I kinda like the effect . Do you suppose the results might
be different if one used natural gas ( lighter than air ) instead of propane
( heavier than air )? Just thinking with my fingers.
