Can I assemble this unit with grill smoker on left side, and gas grill on the right side?? Also, can this convert to Natural gas?

Your side burner is on the left side on the 5050. I guess anything is possible with a ton of fabrication work. I wouldn't change it myself. I have the side smoker that attaches to the charcoal grill and that has to be on the right side due to welded on hinges. Hope this helps.

I am unsure whether you can convert this grill. I will say that we are very pleased with the grill using bottled gas.

It probably could, as the lower area is enclosed. However, it has no side shelves to put a plate or fork on like most stand-alone units. I don't recall how finished-looking the sides were. They appear to be enameled steel, not stainless like the front-facing surfaces. You'll also need to consider the gas hookup. There was a propane tank stand of some kind but I think it was meant for installation next to the grill. Mine is fed by pipe, so I can't describe the tank holder. The installation manual has sketches of the setup, you should be able to find it online.

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.

I do not know about this particular grill, but If the grill does not say dual fuel, it cannot be converted to natural gas. It seems strange that one has to buy a conversion kit to convert a dual fuel unit to a fuel it is supposed to work on. I bought a new grill and then found out it could not be converted even with a conversion kit.

It's assembled, you'll need to put the burner on and the thermometer on the door and the side handles. This is my 4th smoker and the best by far.

I think you might be able to do it. The STOK website shows a natural gas conversion kit, but only for their larger grills. I suggest contacting STOK to make sure that their kit fits this particular grill.

Converts propane grill to natural gas grill. Kitchen Aid models only, I believe.

Not without some modifications. The grill racks slide into brackets that insert into a row of holes along the sides of the smoker. You might be able to rig some horizontal rods to rest on those same brackets.Also, the temp control is rudimentary at best. I am not sure that you would not damage delicate meats such as fish.

You need to get the grill for propane. It isn't clearly marked when you make the purchase. I bought the natural gas grill in error and had to purchase a conversion kit.

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!

You can ignite the gas side with the burners but need a starter on the charcoal side. We use those paraffin/sawdust squares or "fat wood".

Not right out of the box, it can't be converted. I don't know if you can buy the appropriate connections, but after using the grill, I wouldn't waste my time or money trying. It's really best for hot dogs or hamburgers. It's not that easy or great for steak or anything bigger. The small propane tanks are ample for what this grill is best for.

The grill is designed for propane. I am sure that it could be converted with little cost.

The grill has assembly instructions that put it on the right. Also, the gas hookups are on the right and I don't think they would reach the left

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