Was force to go to lowes to get a 1/2 female to 3/8 male reducer in order to adapt natural gas to my grill. The hose from the grill screws into the 3/8 male thread and the 1/2 female would screw into natural gas coming from house. The reducer seems cheap, actually same material as the end of a garden hose. I installed this reducer an no leaks detected. My question is, should I install a cast iron reducer? Just not sure if the piece I install will do? Thank you all in advance!!

Did it say if it was gas approved on the packaging? You could use a black iron bell reducer.
Can you upload a picture? Perhaps someone can verify its use.

Without a picture or a web site how would we know what you have.
It should have looked like this or black iron, no galvinized.

Also needed yellow pipe tape or gas approved pipe dope.

That's fine.
There is a flex line from the fitting to the grill, right?
