Well if they didn't come with an original grease catcher then that glass jar gives me an idea. I have a large collection of glass canning jars from the early 1900s. I'll see what fits. I can also try the stainless steel one that came with my P4

Oh I really like that idea. I'll take a picture from under mine this afternoon to show what it looks like

This picture from the front shows the two swivel wire holders for the grease catchers in the back. They swivel and tighten down with a wing nut when you get them in place. So you can swivel it underneath and then lock it down and then swivel it out to remove and to dump it.

IN all likelihood you can still buy what Broilmaster called "valve hoods" if I recall the term correctly. I remember many LP dealers sold the conversion parts directly from Broilmaster. I would not be surprised if they still use the same valves. Basically conversion always simply consisted of buying the correct "hoods or orifices", and the correct line and regulator. So even though back then the grills were made by Locke Stove Company don't be shocked if everything is still the same with the valves

I hope so Larry! I'm sure I'll get it figured out one way or another

The brackets are the same. I haven't been able to find any new or used so far. I'm sure somebody has some or at least measurements

I don't think the double was made with side shelves, but that doesn't mean you can't add them. Mine only has a front shelf, but it is a newer model where they went to slats.

The one thing I would say is that the side shelf on the right might get in the way of the big handle you use to move this monster grill!

I'm actually not interested in a side shelf. Just the brackets for the front shelf which are the same as the side shelf brackets.Screenshot_20251002_180754_Reddit~2.jpg

Ok, that's what I was wondering. I didn't think those had side tables either.

Yeah I think just the front is appropriate. It's wide enough and if you add a side table that's going to be really wide and you could only do it on the left side considering it's handle on the right. Well at least really wide by my standards. Not as wide as a large frame Weber I don't think.

Makes sense to me.
 
So I've been messing around with the fuel management. It's set up as natural gas so I removed the natural gas regulator that it comes with and hooked up the propane and as expected it was a flamethrower so I put the regulator back on which I assume is only for natural gas and then hooked up my propane hose regulator and propane tank and actually it tamed down quite a bit. But still about 400° on low which is a bit much. Okay maybe closer to 500° LOL that's going to be too hot for low setting

And that's with the five gallon bucket of lava rocks taken out. I'd imagine if I put those back in the heat would be even higher

I wish I had my grill still. It had both shelves. But, I imagine you could fairly easily fab up a set, probably with SS flat stock.

Thank you Bruce I remember yours having those exact shelves. I'm sure I can find somebody that has them that I can at least get measurements from. I know I can make something from scratch that would work but I would really like to stay as close to factory original as possible.
 
Here is the factory regulator.

I may try the valves and orifices from my Broilmaster P4XF-2 and see if they fit. Obviously I'd remove that NG regulator.
