Weber sells (or at least used to) a kit to convert their LPs to natural gas. Contact Char-Broil to see if they have one.

If you are looking to diy, I know the holes on the burners need to be enlarged but not much else.

You will need new burners with bigger holes, since natural gas has fewer BTUs for a given volume than propane.

wolf LP to natural gas

I bought a new (LP) Wolf rangetop and the conversion to NG parts were included. There do seem to be a LOT of little brass pieces, certainly more than were involved with the relatively simple task of converting my old Kenmore range to NG... Anyway, yes, it can be done and. although we're normally DIY'ers, I'd judge that this is one of those jobs best left to the professionals. (The dealer will send a service person out to convert mine after I get it in place--hopefully sometime before the end of the decade!)

Converting new grill from LP to NG

I am planning on getting the Virco and the costco conversion kit. Will I need anything else to buy to get this to work in NG. We bought a new house and it has NG valve outside already but will I need to buy a quick disconnect hose or does that come with the kit. We are putting the grill very close to the outlet so only about 3-4 feet of hose is needed. If I do need to buy one, who has the best price on a quick disconnect hose?

jenn-air jgd8348cdp gas range...converting from lp to natural gas

Does anyone happen to have the Natural Gas hood orifices for their Jenn-Air gas range that they no longer need? I purchased this range a little over two years ago. It came with the natural gas orifices but we were LP so we used the conversion kit to convert. We are now converting back to Natural Gas and I can not locate my original natural gas orifices. I have not been able to locate Natural Gas conversion kit and Jenn-Air is currently trying to locate part number for me to order.It seems everyone has the LP conversion kits but no one has the Natural Gas. I know I should have done better keeping up with the originals but I never knew they would be so difficult to replace. If anyone happens to know the part number for the Natural Gas orifices I would like that information also. Thanks!

Spa convertion from electric to natural gas

Below are the pump and heater in question. I was thinking of setting up the heater away from the Spa and plumbing to it. I have recently removed my pool heater (it was beyond repair)and could set this heater up in the same location. It is about 35 feet from the spa. Somewhere in the plumbing I would switch from metal to PVC and connect into the existing spa plumbing. Is this a sound plan or am I crazy??? Pump and Motor - A.O.

I have converted several by just drilling out the jets. I don't think the heat value of the gas is as important as the difference between gas pressure from the propane regulator and gas line pressure.
Problem may be in finding a set of number drills and determining how big to drill it.

DH enlarged the holes on a DIY conversion, which did not seem to heat as quickly or as hot. However when we purchased a ready-to-go natural gas, I notice a big difference in how things cooked.
