We will soon be moving into a house equipped with natural gas.Is there a conversion kit to connect to nat. gas or this unit too fragile for that

When I was putting the grill together, I saw that the owners manual gave instructions on how to attach a natural gas line, as well as propane, to the unit. I was not not planning on installing the natural gas option so I did not pay too much attention to that process. I am not sure if one needs to buy any additional parts to get the natural gas option working. Good Luck

The unit is certainly capable of being converted. I do not know if Weber sells a factory conversion kit for it. However, it's about a five minute job for a service tech to do it with parts on hand. I was an HVAC tech years ago, and have done many of them. Depending on the age of your neighborhood, (high or low pressure gas), your level of "handi-ness" and your local codes, you may need some professional help with the gas piping anyway. (I would recommend it regardless, just for safety.) If code allows it, whoever does your piping can convert it at the same time. A quick phone call to a HVAC company will answer that question.

According to weber, no.http://help.weber.com/faqs/5/can-i-convert-my-grill-to-run-on-a-different-fuel-typeThere could be 3rd party conversion kits available, but i do not know of any specifically.

As far as I know, it only comes ready for natural gas! I installed this myself on my central heating furnace (which uses natural gas) and no modifications require. I believe you have to buy the LP converter kit separately.

I believe there is a separate propane version sold, at least for some tankless water heaters. Just search for propane ones. I doubt that a natural gas version can be converted. I know there are no directions included on how to do it.

ok...so is there anything extra we need to purchase to hook up to natural gas?

The manufacturer offers no options to convert this to natural gas. I purchased a 30 pound propane bottle as my primary source for emergency use. This gives me time to refill my 20 pound tank.

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.

Yes, but have your local gas supplier do it. The parts to convert it is even on the back side of the range in a steel box! We couldn't find it at first, but all the parts were there! We love our range! Works great!

It must be connected to a natural gas line (pipe). If you don't have natural gas where you live, this unit is not for you. If you do have natural gas, it does operate without electricity so is good if you lose electricity.

I have mine connected in Series in the following sequence. Gas Mains to house, to mains regulator, to various gas appliances including a plumbed in gas grill. The hard line then exits onto the deck where I next installed a stop valve and then the GASAV then via fittings and a flexible hose to my grill.However, this stopped working about a month after installation. It is permanently stuck at 15 mins.

No mention of using natural gas in the manual. The hose connection is for LPG/Propane and I suspect that the orifice in the gas chamber is for propane.

It's electric, not gas. However, there may be adaptors to convert, but I don't know.

Natural gas is low pressure and propane is a higher pressure, being a plumber I know it is easier / cheaper to convert from natural gas to propane , as opposed to the other way around, you should be able to get a smaller orifice to slip into the regulator that will convert it. Try a local plumbing and heating supply or contact Weber directly

I don't believe so. It would probably be easier seeing if some retailer will simply swap it out for you. The natural gas units are usually about $20 more expensive than the propane units.

The cooker is very basic. I have run it on propane only. I would not hesitate to try nat gas if I had it.

I did some research for your great question and I found out that weber does not recommend or sell a kit conversion from propane to natural gas due to high risk factor, and the fact that you need a specialist to make the correct hook up. However, there are vendors that sell conversion kits that will fit in. I suggest if you're going to do that make sure you hire a professional to do this job. You don't want to make unessesary mistakes that could result in a great injury. http://help.weber.com/faqs/5/can-i-convert-my-grill-to-run-on-a-different-fuel-type

I am hoping you are not thinking of hitching this up to the natural gas supply in your house. I can't imagine you not blowing yourself up if you do. I would seek the advice of a certified plumber but my initial reaction is that the pressure of gas coming into your house from the street is far greater than what this unit can handle. If you mean gas from a large outside propane unit, that is probably doable, but again I would seek the advice of a professional. Gas is one thing I wouldn't fool around with.

Yes, the natural gas conversion kit is included with this unit - you simply have to switch out the propane orifice for the natural gas orifice.
