How to Convert a Gas Grill to Run on House Propane

Natural gas (NG) grills utilize low-pressure natural gas to cook your food. Sometimes homes come equipped with only propane gas, also known as liquid petroleum (LP). If you have a NG grill but only propane in your home, you can convert the grill from natural gas to LP with a simple conversion kit, which should come with a new propane regulator, hose and connector. Before starting ensure the propane tank is completely turned off.
