Hello - is this a "dual fuel" grill? that can be used with natural gas via a converter kit?

I found this question and answers on the page for the grill # 463436814. I contacted Char Broiler to find out the correct conversion kit and was told it is NOT convertible to natural gas. There are also reviews further down where someone purchased the grill, tried to convert and then found out it is not convertible. Please verify!

The dual fuel means all you have to do is remove the extra little brass orifices placed on the ends of the gas valve assemblies and replace the propane regulator / hose assembly with a natural gas hose with quick connect (available online for $20 - $30). To remove the orifices use a 9/32" hex head socket with a short extension. Then throw the orifices and original propane hose into a bag in case you ever want to switch back. The whole job takes less than 15 minutes and you don't need to pay $70 for a conversion kit.

yes you need the converter kit, I would also suggest that it be put in by a professional. You dont want to fool with a leak

I do not believe so. The manual makes no mention of it, and it is not listed on the Char-Broil website as Dual Fuel

You might want to check with the manufacturer, but most times there needs to be a modification kit to change from natural gas to propane. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It is not designed to be converted to gas. However, It is heavy duty and if you have the right skills and tools, you may be able to make it work. Even using wood, I like it and recommend it.

Yes. This model is actually compatible with natural gas as well. It contains a conversion kit. Jeff

This is a necessary conversion to natural gas, comes with a different regulator as well as a orifice for the side burner... Most likely you will additional fittings to connect to the house

I see only negative replies on the operation of this generator converted to natural gas. My natural gas BBQ is not a stationary appliance and I don't have the need for an embedded generator.

Almost any propane appliance is convertable to gas. You simply have to re-jet the orifice to an appropriate larger size, as natural gas burns at a slightly cooler temperature than propane. It is possible to drill out an orifice to a larger size, or you can check with your gas supplier to see if they offer this service. An appliance repairman might do this but the cost should be considered. Consult your friends and family and see if anyone you know will do you a favor, or check craigslist for appliance guys for a quote. I would google it and see the size conversion and drill out the orifice that came with the unit, but I am a blacksmith and therefor un-afraid of anything.

oops, you did ask about natural gas. Sorry, we used propane, no natural gas company up here. But it is a 1/2 pipe.

This was bought a gift for my son in Kuwait. I was there to help him to assemble. The unit was setup for propane. If you order this unit, it has to specify natural gas.

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.

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 grill ships as propane and has a conversion kit built into it. Takes about 20 minutes to switch over.

The conversion has 6 bezels .One uses as many as are necessary. The main thing is to be sure that the grill ypu are converting is dual fuel rated. This has always been a frustion for me. Why do you need to buy a dual unit and then buy a conversion kit.

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 not sure about natural gas......I understand that it can be converted to Propane (Bottled Gas) by installinga "kit" made for that purpose....

This Weber grill is designed for LP. If one is available it would need a natural gas conversion kit. I think it would be better to look for a grill optimized for natural gas. The gasses work at different pressures and flow rates.
