Devices have to be made to support both propane and natural gas. They usually come with flow restrictors that are put into the place where the fuel source is hooked up according to which you use. Some dryers are like this, for example. LPG is fed at high pressure and low volume, whereas natural gas is low pressure and high volume, so a device expecting LPG and hooked up to natural gas will probably kill you.

No. Natural gas (methane) has different properties than propane. Trying to use natural gas could be a safety hazard! Natural gas would not produce the same flame from the burner so the Big Easy would not work properly. Per the assembly instructions, "Use your appliance, as purchased, only with LP (propane) gas and the regulator/valve assembly supplied."

I was able to convert mine and it worked fine. I did the same thing I've done to everything that I've purchased that was intended for LP (propane) which is remove all of the LP gadgets (hose, regulator etc) and re-plumb accordingly for natural gas and then enlarge the jet accordingly. Of course none of this is UL approved or endorsed by Char-Broil in any way but if can be done. When completed the cooking time on natural gas was exactly the same as what the Char-Broil literature stated for LP.

Yes if the valve in back of heater is set to LPG instead of NG(Natural Gas), Propane can be used.

The unit I purchased was for natural gas, so I am not sure. A BB Que seems a little small and would need frequent refilling I would think.

I haven't tried that but if recollection serves me it said there was some kind of conversion kit you could get to use natural gas instead of propane. Sorry I can't be more exact.

If it is dual fuel you will need a 220 electrical line and a natural gas line... no 110 needed if you need the 220.

I am a homeowner and installed it myself. Safety is paramount so familiarity with LP and natural gas and connections is critical. If you are comfortable with these, you can install yourself. If not, call your local gas company and let a pro do it

Yes you can. My brother bought this engine from me and mounted it on his goldcart. He ha to run exuast off the motor and take the gastank off and mount in on the outside. Very easy and super simple. You can pretty much do anything you need to, to make this emgine work to your needs

Are you telling me to do something?? I believe you are trying to ask " WILL THIS connect to my large home SUPPLY?" Possibly I don't know how your gas lines are configured but, with the proper fittings it could.

Your building code will let you know if it's okay. Some states let you have a propane ventless but not natural gas and there's restrictions as to what room you may install the unit, as in not a bedroom. And yes a gas line is needed for the gas unit. I put in my line but I'm a building contractor, so unless you are handy you will need a plumber to install the line.

oops, you did ask about natural gas. Sorry, we used propane, no natural gas company up here. But it is a 1/2 pipe.

If you don't have natural gas coming to your home than you will need to exchange the heater for a propane model. If you have natural gas coming through your home through a main gas line in the street you will need to contact a plumber or heating & cooling contractor to make the connection for you. You can contact me for any more questions at gsecher@gmail.com.

Natural gas would come from a line you have in your house from the utility company.and if you don't have a line in the house,you would have to use a propane heater and the tank is supplied by the propane company.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

If you are not familiar with it have the local propane company do it. It is simple with fittings from Home Depot or mensrds or any type hardware store stocks them . I love this generator , easy start , nothing to do but keep the oil changed an trickle charger plugged in

Yes & its not a big deal. Many heating & ac stores will do it for you. You will need a flex supply hose (required & avalible via amazon). Remove the short connection hose & regulator from the grill as you will attach the new flex line direct. There are 3 jets that regulate the flow to the burners. They need to be enlarged to allow more gas flow as natural has is under less pressure. For drill size contact companys who do heating instalations. I have enjoyed the no hassel, no tank & not running short of gas when grilling. Hope this helps & hood luck. Bill

Here is the response to your question from the DuroMax Customer Service. "Our propane unit is not capable of running off natural gas. The system would require a different hose, carburetor, and jet set".http://www.duromaxgenerators.org/find_answers.html

I believe if it can run on propane it can run on natural gas. You'd have to have it hooked up by a license plumber and he would know whether to replace the pressure regulator or not. But if I remember right they both use a low pressure regulator. That's what's on the unit.
