If you don't want to mess around with pipe dope you can just get some gasfitting tape. You wrap it around the threads of the male fitting just like using teflon tape for plumbing. It's much cleaner than dope and you should be able to pick up everything you need at home depot. Just make sure you don't try to use teflon tape, it's not the same thing. Teflon tape is pure white, the stuff for gasfitting has a definite yellowish cast to it. I did this at my old house and converted my old bbq from propane to ng without a hitch.
