Using propane on a converted NG grill

[Matt Dalton]

I had a Napoleon propane grill converted to natural gas. Now i am moving and will not have a NG outlet. Can I just hook up a propane tank and cook away?

I believe the jet will need to be changed back to a propane one.

This.

Napoleon does not provide a conversion kit. Found this Support article:

Who converted it from propane to NG?

[jfmorris]

Yeah - I think I would talk to that person, and see if they know what they did, and if they can convert it back.

You will have to buy a new regulator, since you likely did not have one on NG, and you will have to replace all orifices with ones with the right size opening for propane. NG has less BTU's that propane, so most conversions from Propane to NG involve drilling out the brass orifice openings to a larger diameter, and removing the propane regulator.

If you do not replace the orifices, you will have significantly more propane than you should feeding the burners. I imagine it will be high flame even with the knobs set to low.

Thanks all. I know who converted it. Professionals in Denver. I’ll go there

Good decision. They ought to be able to provide the parts needed to switch it back.
