Is it worth it to convert my BBQ grill from propane to natural gas?
Question:
Answers:
If you don't use charcoal I don't think it really matters. If you could convert it to charcoal I'd jump on it. I've tasted a lot of food cooked on gas and over coals. I've cooked on a grill for 33 years now and I've never tasted food cooked over gas that made me want to change. If all I could use was a gas grill I'd just do my cooking in the kitchen.
Not really.
Its all good, its more of a convenience to have gas as you don't need to worry about running out of propane, they both cook the same way
Natural gas is much cheaper then propane and to convert it all you need is to change to regulator and orifice's, if you can't find orifice's then buy a regulator and email me with the number that is stamped on the propane orifice and I will tell you what number size drill to use to drill it out, I have converted many homes from propane to natural gas.
Convert it to charcoal if you want flavorful food.
Hi, It depends on the BBQ make. Some can be converted over to NG and some cannot. Check your hoses, if their crimped on than no. if they are connected by brass fittings that screw on to the BBQ than it's full speed ahead. The cost will be a couple hundred dollars max. depending on the make. And no you just can't change out the orifices. Don't take that advise from anyone. Certain makes such as Weber for an example have to have a whole new thing, while there are others in which just a change of the orifices is all it takes. But you would need to get a NG approved line or hose. Take your instruction book to a store like True Value,os an Ace. The salesperson should be able to correctly help you. Home Depot and Lowe's salespeople never work there long enough to truly learn the safe procedure for this. Good Luck, I hoped this helps you. Bye
I've done this for several people due to the conveniences of not having the haul tanks up the mountain with them and running out when their forty miles from civilization.
The cost was negligible, like a few dollars only. The pipe work and the cost of the orifice's which were pennies.
That would depend on the price of each in your area, and how often you use it.
