What do I need to do to convert my natural gas grill to propane?
at
I moved into a house a few years ago that had natural gas ran to the stationary outdoor grill. This was the only appliance using natural gas on the property. I have used the grill with NG the whole time, but rarely grill out, and recently decided to turn the NG off as I as being charged a minumum amount by the gas company whether I used any or not. It seems that I could get by alot cheaper with a propane grill. I need to know how to convert my grill to propane, or if it would be better to just buy a propane grill. Thanks

You need different burners because each gas has a different amount of heat it gives off when it burns.
A regulator. Propane is a much hotter gas so the opening that comes out of a propane regulator is much smaller than the opening in a natural gas regulator.
You will find them at Home depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc… Check in bar-b-que section.
If your budget is tight, Acquire a used grill that has rusted through the bottom and cannablize it. Check for leaks.
Just buy a new propane grill. It may be possible to have the natural gas grill converted, but by the time you pay somebody to do it, you could probably buy a new one.
You have to change the orifices and possibly the valve assembly, as well as buying a hose and a regulator to connect to a propane tank.
