If you don't have enough sense to keep a spare tank, you should not be using
the title "Master Chef" Maybe change it to "Master Baiter"

Then fill it.


I'm working on a 2 carat. Should be ready in time for Christmas.

1. Go to the store.
2. Buy one.

It's simple.

out why this thread is such a compelling turd magnet. Its as if one guy ran
out of propane at the same time others ran out of thorazine.

And once again, as others have, I attempt to redirect to the actual thread:

I once had a built in NG grill that came with a house I bought. It only
lasted a couple years since it was already on its last legs when I got it,
but it sure beat hell out of jacking with tanks of a more volatile fuel. I
prefer wood fuel but an outdoor NG grill with lava rock and a smoke box
works great for steaks and chicken. Personally I have never felt the need to
bother with propane.

Could an appliance installer convert a propane cooker to NG?

Let's cook some ribs.

Seems some people just can't help themselves.


After the flexible hose on our propane grill ruptured and the tank proceeded
to burn off the back of our house, because it couldn't be shut down, we
switched to natural gas with several in-line shutoff valves.

Yes.

Now to complicate that simple answer, it would depend on whether the
person could locate an appropriate orifice. With NG having fewer BTU's
than LP, the fuel/air ratio would also be off. Since I had moved and
wanted to convert LP to NG, life was pretty simple- I drilled out the
orifice, using a table I got from the gas company. It isn't
"scientific," but if you use the ratio of BTU for the two gasses as a
guide, then simply apply that ratio to the cross sectional area of the
orifice for each. To determine the initial opening diameter, just probe
with the shank of bits until one goes in. The fuel/air is done using
color and if soot appears on pans, then you need more air.

It's so much more simple to just call the gas company and have somebody
come out and do it for you. . . and probably a lot safer.

BTW, I've also gone the other way- to a smaller orifice- and did that by
peening the old one closed and redrilling.
