What else do I need to run this with propane?

all you need to do is connect the propane to the propane gas side and there is also a switch that has to be turned somewhere in the same area as the inlets.

just the gas line kit that is sold by amozon might have to measure how long of a gas line you will need if you are using propane you will need a tank over 100 gallons and have it piped to the area where the unit is located.

It depends on where you plan to install the heater, I used a flexible stainless steal line half inch with the proper connectors and shut off valve. Amazon.com supplies all this material.

Natural Gas Input from the bottom or right next to choose Propane input. Remove the plug and attachthe line and the fitting with a shut of valve for safety. Can be changed at will. Evidently the unit houses both air / fuel mixers for propane or natural gas. I allow some fresh air to enter from the crawl space around the input line (Slightly larger hole in the floor. Bugs may also use this hole).

It has standard pipe fittings for natural gas, but you should be able to add the correct fittings to hook up to propane. Try Home depot for fittings.

If you have natural gas heat in your home, the generator isconnected to your gas meter, and then natural gas wil run the generator. If you don't have natural gas heat in your home, you will need to install propane gas tanks as your source of power when electric power is off.

You are correct it has to be connected to a gas source. A propane tank could be off to the side somewhere out of range for the camera eye or using a 12 foot hose. It could also be hard piped. All of these should be done by a licensed gas professional.

I would also like to know who makes a conversion for this unit. Would be nice to have propane.

Just attach the hose in the same way that anything else attaches to a propane tank (ie. a grill, heater, etc.). Nothing else is required.

Yes, it is set up to run on either natural gas or propane. If you already have propane, make sure that your supply line is of sufficient diameter and that you run it off of a second regulator. Your propane supplier should be able to determine this for you.

You can if you have the adapter to do so. You still need a propane hose with a regulator in it though

I have propane also you just need to get the converter adapter from gas to propane

You could use a generator. Just make sure the generator is in a well ventilated area since it runs on gas.

No you have to use the portable (small) propane tanks that you can get on Amazon or sporting good stores.

Here is the response to your question from the DuroMax Customer Service. "Our propane unit is not capable of running off natural gas. The system would require a different hose, carburetor, and jet set".http://www.duromaxgenerators.org/find_answers.html

You do need to get the small regulators.With mine I use my regulators for the acetylene and oxygen tanks. The acetylene regulator will fit on propane tank.

If you are not familiar with it have the local propane company do it. It is simple with fittings from Home Depot or mensrds or any type hardware store stocks them . I love this generator , easy start , nothing to do but keep the oil changed an trickle charger plugged in

Kathleen, I have one of those working on natural gas and it works like a charm! You should have or buy the propane version and it will run on any tank, but if you need to run it on full for an extended time, I would recommend getting a larger tank. If it's a small room however, it is probably sufficient to run it on a low setting and then a small propane tank will most likely last quite a while. So, in a nutshell, it depends... Sorry, that's the best answer I can give you. Good luck and hope you're staying warm.
