Gas grill

[Brewery]

I have a grill that we had plumbed for natural gas at a previous house and would like to switch it back to propane but can't find anywhere to get the propane orifices. Everyone sells the kit to go from propane to ng but not the other way around. Anyone have any ideas how I convert it back? It's a Char-Broil commercial series

What is the model and serial number? I can figure the orifice size you need but did you hafta change the gas regulator or the spring in the regulator? when I can not find the orifice I need I have used a ball peen hammer to hammer the end of the orifice slightly closed and used an orifice drill to re drill it to the correct size.

...but don't try that at home kids!

[Frank_Cox]

hahaha, Learned that trick from a guy I used to work with back in the glory days.

Model is 463252105
Serial 000076

And it's been a while but I don't remember changing the regulator, can always buy a new one just to be sure

[Frank_Cox]

did you keep the hose, valve regulator assembly?

[Brewery]

I'm sure I did, I'll just have to do some digging to find it ( I keep everything lol...well I hope I did)

So, I just had an awesome chat session with an agent from Charbroil on their website. I must say that I am impressed with the guy/ gal's knowledge. anyway here is a pic of the chat window.... enjoy LOL

Bad news is your grill is factory Natural gas. I can help you Modify it tho LOLOL

[Brewery]

Wow thanks Frank, I can't read the convo from my phone but appreciate the help, I'd a sworn we changed it over but that must have been previous grill. I do miss having ng plumbed onto the back deck! But ya if you know how to convert it I'm all for it!!

[DUAYNE B]

Sure is nice when ya get personality when you talk to customer service, that was cool Frank

[Frank_Cox]

I was gonna take it up a knotch and ask him if it is ok to hammer the orifice shut and redrill it but I didn't want to mess with him too bad since he was bein cool

Why does this project sound like it's getting a Phinias & Ferb, Top Gear, Blues Brothers, 3 Stooges "What could possibly go wrong?" feel to it?

[Brewery]

So how did this story end? Did you come up with a solution Frank? I just "rolled" this unit down the street from a neighbor who had it out with a FREE sign on it. (Damn heavy... )... Now I know why it out front with the FREE sign on it....

[Frank_Cox]

the grill is manufactured for natural only. you would hafta do a complete burner redesign to convert it.

[Hershey BBQ Guy]

I don't mind putting all new "guts" into it as it cost me nothing and the exterior condition is great... But your the pro... Not worth the effort?
