Not to muddy the water, but can you convert a year 2000 Silver B from NG to LP by just changing the orifices, hose, and regulator?
Thanks!

Thanks.
This thread from 2018 is a cautionary tale of NG > LP conversion. LM spent a lot of time coaching the guy.

This is certainly a topic that could use a good video explanation of LP > NG and NG > LP conversions and frankly with the goal of directing people toward manifold replacement rather than drilling out orifices, replacing regulators, etc.

Boy, the more I look, the more I see just how many times LM has posted about this subject. A comprehensive sticky + video would allow him to retire from the forum. Kidding!

Weber Summit Too Hot? NG to Propane conversion
Brand new Summit S-670. I just completed the conversion from NG to Propane and fired it up for the first time. There appears to be almost no difference between High and Low. I replaced the NG regulator with a propane line and regulator. Changed out the orifices on all the the burners...

Restoring and Converting a 44" Vieluxe to NG
I came across a functioning LP 44" Vieluxe on CraigsList. My dream is to convert it to NG, replace some worn or rusted parts, and maybe even mount it permanently in an outdoor kitchen island. If this should be split into two or three threads, I would be happy to do so. The biggest challenge is...

Convert LP to NG
Hey, I'm wondering if anyone knows if/how I can convert my LP Genesis e320 to Natural Gas? I got it as a gift, but would prefer to use the gas line that I had installed.

Here are two pictures of the older high med low spools. Natural gas on the left, LP on the right.
You can see the orifices on the LP spools are smaller. It's not an optical illusion. I took drill bits that just fit in the natural gas orifices and tried to fit them into the LP orifices. They didn't fit.

Thank you for putting this out there. So for those who are trying to understand, Chris was nice enough to post photos of the continuous spool and now you have these to look at. I hope this clarifies why you cannot simply change the main metering orifice and expect it to work
