We have not used our fireplace in years Can I use this in my old non-working fireplace? The fireplace has a natural gas line already installed.

Yes, it is dual fuel which means you can use LP or natural gas. Both hookups are on the back of the fireplace.

Since the stove is vent free, you can safely use it in your old fire place.

I would think so as long as the physical dimensions fit your opening. you would not have to put it all the way in if you have a hearth flush with your opening.

Yes you can if it fits go for it but make sure it can still get air to the back of it.

Maybe, if your fireplace opening it large enough to allow the unit to be placed inside. If you do this however, it will not be as efficient as if it is freestanding. IE less heat in the room. I recommend simply buying a new gas fireplace insert not a stove.

It would have to be used every time. It would be hooked up to your gas line coming in to your fireplace.

It is not intended to work with natural gas. You will need to adapt the line and regulator to work with natural gas. I would have that professionally done and make sure that the burner is capable of handling the fuel.

I believe instruction manual states you can install in return, I would think combustion is going to burn off some of the humidity you are adding with unit. I would think post furnace is much better and efficient than pre furnace. Natural gas releases moisture content in combustion that runs off as condensation, so I would think that humidity in return or intake would be fine and not rust and scale burners. This unit is awesome just as the reviews state. Brian.

No. The one I own can not. Weber makes specific models designed for natural gas.

Use LP. I am sure you can hook this up to natural gas however you will have to replace all of the valves and burners to support burning natural gas. If you want a natural gas fire system I think it would be cheaper and safer to just buy one instead of converting an LP system.

I haven't tried that but if recollection serves me it said there was some kind of conversion kit you could get to use natural gas instead of propane. Sorry I can't be more exact.

We have it in our MBR hooked into our natural gas connection that feeds our fireplace. It's been connected for one year with no issues other than the initial burn-off smell that only lasts a day or two.I highly recommend that you have your gas company hook it up. Ours did and they only charged us about $150 for the install of the unit and the hookup and parts. Better Safe than Sorry.

By Gas Range you mean a stovetop cooking surface. You should never use gas cooktops for anything other then cooking. I work for a utility company and do not recommend wasting natural gas or LPG for humidifying a room using the Dragon. If you are talking about a gas fireplace used for heating, that's a different story. The fireplace will be doing its intended purpose and the dragon will be more of a decoration then functional humidifier. Some gas fireplaces may not get as hot as a wood burning fireplace/stove, so counting on the dragon to get hot enough to make steam may be hard to do. Hope this helps.

I would not use a grill regulator on gas logs indoors in a house. That could be very unsafe. I would go to your fireplace shop for a regulator only.

I have this hooked up between my Home Propane system and my back Porch Propane grill. This is the second house I have set up this way and it works fine. But you may have an issue. Your smoker is probably set up for Propane and in order to use Natural Gas you will need to change out the smoker to run properly. Check with the manufacturer of your smoker.

If you are running this fireplace a lot we use a dehumidifier to get rid of excess water. I don't know about the burnt gasses. You are not supposed to use a vent free fireplace as your only heat source.

The Red Devil Silica Sand will work safely in LP or natural gas fireplace. The sand will not burn so the sand is not a hazard. Just make sure the gas line (LP and/or natural gas) is installed correctly.

Does not work with natural gas as is. To use natural gas the burner must be changed out. Natural gas does not burn as hot and requires a greater output.

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.

I am using natural gas for my fuel source. Natural gas burns almost 99.9% pure. I had the same concerns you did but when I did the research I found that there is little to no risk if installed properly. As far as the moisture is concerned, it only acts as a benefit. When you use a fuel-burning source in the winter the moisture will naturally humidify your house. We have never had a problem with excess water at all. I would recommend getting a digital carbon monoxide tester. Dangerous levels are around 99 ppm my system has never registered anything over zero. I am very pleased with this product!

I don't know if the burner is rated for natural gas. You would need a completely different regulator as well.
