This is great! Can I just turn the gas off at the shut of valve that's on the outside gas line to do this, or do I need to shut the gas off to it completely?
So is it possible to convert liquid gas grill to natural gas even though doesn't have that logo inside that it can be uses for both? Any help would be appreciated.
I hav the NG kit that has the screwed to stop the burner knobs from turning all the way. My 5 burner knobs have the holes to screw in the flat top screws to stop the turning. My Side burner has no predrilled screw holes at all so what do i do for the last knob? i see a template for the holes but nothing to screw into?
We bought the modular kitchen medallion series tru infrared. We have the grill, side burner and a griddle. Do we need a separate conversion kit for each of them? If we have only one gas line coming out of the house, can we use it to supply all three units with the conversion kit?
I did all these steps. Now my plastic flame nobs are melting! Any ideas? the flames seem a bit high but nothing crazy. The issue i am having is that the flame is starting outside the grill right where the tube goes inside. Help!

You never said to connect the other end of the gas hose to the hardline coming from the house. I could just see some uhh.. less than savvy grill owner scratching their head in confusion wondering why their grill won't light, lol
I got a new grill for father's day. My old grill was already ng. Didn't need the conversion kit, so I returned it. Nice to have wrench and instructions.
if it is a new grill it comes with a propane hose and regulator (and now a gas guage too) , anyway, none of that is necessary with the NG hose, it is just a hose with a connector on each end.
I'm curious what exactly makes a non dual fuel grill unable to be converted, when with the dual fuel units the orifices are being removed anyway, along with the bezels and regulator hose being replaced.
Did you figure it out? There's different orifices with bigger holes to deliver more NG to the burners. I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to change a non dual grill from LP to NG
@@freddybautista6412 From the digging I did, it looks like what they consider "dual fuel" is the ability to easily convert back and forth between LP to NG. It looks like it's possible to convert to NG as long as you have the correct regulator hose and can get the proper knob bezels, but you do have to do the math to find the correct size to drill the orifices out to and then drill them by hand using a jeweler's hand drill and machinist bits to get an exact size (which in my case, luckily I have), after which you will NOT be able to convert back to LP. This seems to be the caveat (along with the fact that it's just not as simple to convert to NG) that keeps these grills from being considered "dual fuel".
Great video. I just followed your video and was able to fix the issue I was having when switching from propane to natural gas. I just had to remove the orifices, so that the bbq would work using natural gas. thanks again!
Remarkable. My cousins converted a LP grill to NG five years ago without removing the orifices. It worked fine. Just a few days ago her son replaced the burners and the grill simply stopped working. It was getting gas as confirmed with both sound and smell. The electrodes were confirmed as working as well. I called Char Broil to confirm what I first saw in this video and he confirmed it, no orifices if NG. The CB tech I spoke to said he's heard of it before, but has no idea why it will work when it shouldn't. But he did say that it is a safety hazard leaving them in due to back pressure style issues that can develop.
Old question, but I am doing this so I happen to have the answer. Natural gas is lower pressure than propane, so you can turn down the temperature knob as low with natural gas. The new plates restrict how far down the knob turns so you don't lose the flame.

I wouldn't say they are cosmetic as they keep you from turning up the flame to high and losing the flame. It's just basically a restrictive plate. But i am sure if you limit it to 3/4 as max you will be good
That's not so bad, assuming he then went and washed his hands after. When I prep chicken tenderloin for dishes I make, I don't futz around with gloves. I use my bare left hand to hold the chicken and my right hand holds the food scissors (I've found scissors are way faster for cutting tenderloin down to bite size pieces). I just wash my hands thoroughly afterwards. Any germs from my hand on the food will be killed by the high temperatures. I also thought the chicken they took off the grill didn't look very done, lol
do you need orifices for any grills? I have a Brinkmann and been looking at how to drill the holes bigger...now I see this video and see you dont need any orifices...
@@mollysmall165 whoa! tap on the brakes, some grills are not made for both types of fuel. the burners may not be formulated to work both and in some I have seen the orifices are pinned in making it impossible to remove them without machist skills. drill the holes too big or too small and you may pay a big price.
@@mradaChris you only need them to quickly convert liquid propane to an atomized gas, not a low pressure Natural gas. you remove the orifices with the L shaped tool to go from propane to. NG and reverse the process if going from NG to propane.

Hey, Mike. No, only dual fuel enabled grills are convertible and will have a logo indicating that their dual-fueled.
@@charbroil they're, not their
Followed all the instructions and now the fire has melted the cables in the front and fire is coming out below them. ?
Thanks for the video... Doing the Lord's work

What size is the orifice wrench?
You never said to connect the other end of the gas hose to the hardline coming from the house.
I could just see some uhh.. less than savvy grill owner scratching their head in confusion wondering why their grill won't light, lol
Nature will take its course.
Do you remove the orifice from the side burner also ?
If it has one, yes. Also, if your grill came with a special rotisserie burner, the conversion kit will include a special orifice for that one.
yes, you do unless you are never going to use it (and post a warning to any friends who might)
I got a new grill for father's day. My old grill was already ng. Didn't need the conversion kit, so I returned it. Nice to have wrench and instructions.
How can I convert my grill back to LP, where can i get the orifice and tool? Right now the grill works but idk if performance will be effected.
@Leopold I need the orifice's
@Leopold idk what your talking about this video is literally about the grill
@Leopold I got the grill from someone else. It was already converted. I'm not worried about the tool. I just need the orifice
in 3.40 regulator hose mentioned, where is regulator ? I only seen a hose
if it is a new grill it comes with a propane hose and regulator (and now a gas guage too) , anyway, none of that is necessary with the NG hose, it is just a hose with a connector on each end.
Why do you need to get new bezels. Basically you can remove the orbs and buy a gas hose and you are done.
did not show putting ng orfis back in.
At 2:05 "do not replace any orifices when converting to natural gas"
@@twelch that is not clear. Are they saying remove the old orifices and leave the orifice receptacle empty?
@@alariderusa410 exactly, the NG is very low pressure gas and does not need an orifice to change it from high pressure liquid to very low pressure NG;
do u need a gas fitter to put the conversion kit in the bbq

@@NordicDan What grill do you have and what size did you use? I am trying to do the same.
I dont need it to convert back to LP.
Solid video, thank you guys. It was pretty much exactly as depicted in the video.
Great video. I just followed your video and was able to fix the issue I was having when switching from propane to natural gas. I just had to remove the orifices, so that the bbq would work using natural gas. thanks again!

OK then, orifices removed. Does that mean a regulator is not necessary?
Dimi K no regulator needed
Very Good!..
Why replace part behind the knobs ?
Old question, but I am doing this so I happen to have the answer. Natural gas is lower pressure than propane, so you can turn down the temperature knob as low with natural gas. The new plates restrict how far down the knob turns so you don't lose the flame.
Cheaper to just drill out the lp orfices to natural gas.A propane company can tell what size to drill the lp orfices
why drill out when all you have to do is remove the LP nozzle and its already sized correctly unless I misunderstood the video.
Don't you have to also change the burner tubes? I thought burner tubes for propane and natural gas had different size holes on the burner tubes.
Nope, you dont have to change the burner tubes.
Easy as 1, 2, Bananas.
I converted char broil propane bbq that not rated for Nat gas no big deal! I saved $$!
So is it possible to convert liquid gas grill to natural gas even though doesn't have that logo inside that it can be uses for both? Any help would be appreciated.
-3 seasonings used
So we're basically paying $60 for a hose and a small socket wrench. The knob plates are cosmetic.
I wouldn't say they are cosmetic as they keep you from turning up the flame to high and losing the flame. It's just basically a restrictive plate. But i am sure if you limit it to 3/4 as max you will be good
.......soooooooo........ the conversion kit is just a hose and some new burner position shrouds?!
true that plus the little tube to remove the orifices (and the hose is certified) and the instruction sheet .
Looks like a lot of freaking hard complicated work... think I’ll just order a pizza.
I’m not surprised. You always have been a lazy bastard.
Your mom can ordered me by the hr
I came here for information, but couldn't stop looking at the unseasoned meat 🥴
No one is going to mention the guy grabbing raw chicken breasts with his hand and putting them on the grill?
No, safety Sally. This is a replacement part how-to video, not a kitchen sanitation tips video. Get over yourself.
That's not so bad, assuming he then went and washed his hands after. When I prep chicken tenderloin for dishes I make, I don't futz around with gloves. I use my bare left hand to hold the chicken and my right hand holds the food scissors (I've found scissors are way faster for cutting tenderloin down to bite size pieces).

I also thought the chicken they took off the grill didn't look very done, lol

Salmonella sandwiches
Naww you digging too deep
or do you need them lol. think you do but video dose not show
Randy Randy you do NOT need the orifices installed when running natural gas. The kit only comes with one orifice for the rotisserie.
do you need orifices for any grills? I have a Brinkmann and been looking at how to drill the holes bigger...now I see this video and see you dont need any orifices...
I always thought you did need them. My kit didn't come with them so this makes me wonder.
