I don't understand the reluctance to run gas lines, if you are capable to do the same with black iron pipe for water, or compressed air, you should be capable to run gas pipe.
I ran all the gas pipe into my house when I started with natural gas, using black iron pipe, and gas rated valves. When the utility guy came to inspect it before he made the initial turn-on, he said it looked better than what he sees from many licensed plumbers. I had over 140' feet of pipe, and branches to 6 appliances. He turned the gas on, and hit every joint and fitting with his gas sensor, didn't find a single leak.
Just be careful, and use good workmanship practices. Remember, gas service is at about 1/4 pound per square inch, so it doesn't take much to keep it inside the pipe.
