Can this unit be converted to Natural Gas? Can this unit be converted so I do not have to use propane bottles?

Kevin, I have the same question as I have natural gas already running my grill. If you get a reply, would you please email me @ BigDog58@gmail.com? Thanks and good luck, Big Dog

No, this is just the supply hose. To convert from propane you will need a new gas orfice.

I have only used propane, natural gas is a mixture of various organic compounds, most of which are volatile and explosive. I would do your research on the composition of your particular natural gas and consult the manufacture if it is safe to use this burner with said natural gas.

Yes but we didn't like it. We bought the conversion kit and couldn't understand why the grill never got very hot--hard to boost over 350 or 400 degrees, so it was more of an oven than a grill. We converted to a propane tank and it works great now--like a grill! Bottom line: don't waste your money on the natural gas conversion kit! Stick with propane for this grill.

No. Sorry. I bought a gas generator by mistake. I called the Company and they told me that none of their generators can be converted.

I haven't tried it but it has the same makeup as a gas grill. You would have to change the orfice setting to account for natural gas and the connenction in order to connect to your supply line. If you aren't sure what I am talking about then you probably shouldn't do it because the unit doesn't come with a conversion kit

The hose will work for that except a propane and natural gas have different size venturis that the gas flows through so you need to also convert your venturi. I think it has something to do with the air to gas mixure being different between both fuels. So even though you use the hose will interchange, you will be disappointed with ability of the burner without changing the ventri also.

it is a propane cooker. I do not think the oriface on the unit support nat gas.

Can't offer any info on the propane question, we have both of ours hooked up to natural gas. They are great, did not disappoint us and never needed any venting.

It comes made to work with a standard propane tank. Would take some conversion to work with natural gas.

Any grill can be converted from propane to natural gas, by removing the regulator, and either changing out or drilling out the orifices. Of course, you will probably also need an adapter for the inlet pipe. If you do some research, it will cost you about 15 bucks to convert this.

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

I would suggest you contact a local gas/plumbing contractor for the answer. The reason to do that is the orifice size for nat gas and propane is slightly different. They would have to confirm if they have something for the conversion.As a side note...This smoker really sips propane at a very low rate! Last week, I forgot to turn it off after smoking some pork for 8 hours..it ran for another 24 hours before I noticed it, and I still had lots of fuel.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

Last time I looked, generac did not sell conversion kits. You would have to look for aftermarket kits. There are videos on the web to help with the process but usually you cannot use gasoline again if you try to convert to propane or natural gas.

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
