I am looking to use something like this unit for backup heat for all electric house. Can this be hooked up to a LP gas bottle like on a charcoal gri

Yes. Just make sure the unit is configured for LP. Thes units can also work with natural gas but it is an either/or situation. A 30K BTU unit will burn through a 20 lb (grill size) tank in 2-3 days depending or demand. Good idea to test usage before you actually need it.

You will need 100. LB. tank to do the job I only get about 16 hours out of it. on high.

No. This heater has jets for 'natural gas only'. Look for a model advertised for 'propane' if thats what you need. Propane is more volatile than natural gas and if connected to this heater would result in a very large yellow flame and would be a dangerous thing to do.

I'm no expert on lp gas regulators for grill, etc., but the box for this "Low Pressure LPG" hose with 1-PSI regulator and 3/8" flare swivel fitting contains the following warning: ! DO NOT USE ON TURKEY FRYERS ! Elsewhere it also says "For use with LP outdoor low pressure cookers and gas grills ONLY! Do not use for any other application." If you want more info, you could check with the distributor, Barbour International, Inc. at 101 Cypress Way in Brandon, MS 39042. Hope this helps.

Ours is connecting to a propane tank. It runs great on propane. We wanted it off the natural gas grid because of failures last year. How long it will run depends on the size of the tank and the tank needs to be in gallons.

We do not recommend that the unit be connected to your propane line on the motor home rather than a standard propane tank. The fittings required to do so are not offered by the manufacturer as well.

Absolutely, as long as you have the correct adapter. I got a small aluminum 10 lb cylinder to use with it. Light weight and it runs for a long time. Best heater I ever bought, just sips propane.

I use this on my geo thermal unit system with aux heat/emergency heat. I had to have the geo guy come out, but that was because it had to be programed. The instructions that come with it showed how to do this, but I guess I missed a step. Has been working fine for about 2 years now.

I believe this unit only works with natural gas. I'm sure Rinnai makes a unit that uses propane. To get the proper model number go to the Rinnai website.

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.

If it uses a standard propane tank (like the ones you can exchange at places like CVS, etc.) then yes. I used mind on an outdoor fire pit/table. Worked great and have not had any issues with connection, leaks, etc.

Not that I am aware of. I did have a natural gas space heater that I converted to LP. I only had to change the jet. Couple of bucks is all. But I difinitely would go down to your local heating shop and ask. This is not a space heater but same principle. You will love this, just do not clean it with water like that YouTube video. You will be asking for rust. Just scrape it and save the flavor. Besides that is a lot of work for nothing.

Jerry I purchased mine for additional heat in my shop that is attached to my home , I also attached it to my 500 gal L.P. tank but you will need a regulator placed on that line , do not go direct from the tank with- out one !!! Note there is a slight smell , for the price it works great . any other questions contact me .

This is propane (L.P.) Only. Can not be converted to Natural Gas. Have to get one set for Natural Gas and then convert the orffices for natural gas. Look for a conversion kit get made for your unit. It may not be able to convert it.

NO. It's set up to run on LP ONLY. But anything is possible if you're an engineer. You would need to modify or replace the carburetor to use about 130% more gas and find a way to plumb it all with the correct regulator... It would be a Very expensive experiment. Why would you since LP is everyplace, easy to get. And LP would be cheaper to run and and much longer run time on the same size tank. Plus you would lose HP on NG so it would not be able to take a full load.

The unit I have runs on the gas piped into my home by the gas company. I call this natural gas, so yes. If you mean some other source of gas I can't say what will work or not. By the way, it works very well and my summer gas bill was cut in half.

My husband is in the process of getting this hooked up. We purchased the transfer switch so it is a little more involved. Our hope was to run a hook up from our 500 gal tank but some of his coworkers (hospital maintenance workers) said there could be an issue with pressure from our large home propane tank so they referred him to our propane supplier. You might want to call your company and speak with an expert. We haven't made the call yet.

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.
