New Gen CEP330 Owner

Evening all,

Have just "inherited" a Genesis CEP330 "Special Edition". It was going to go to the curb as my in-laws moved but I'm a cheap bugger so took it instead.

Overall, it's in much better condition than my 20 year old Napoleon so will call it a win.

However, it's a Natural Gas version and so I'm in need of switching it to Propane. I'm cheap but not brave/foolish enough to cut too many corners. After some digging on this forum, I'm going to order the propane manifold P/N 62762 and the hose/regulator P/N 65909.

I'm stymied though for the orifice for the side burner. Any input is appreciated, or a link to an old thread.

Anything else I should know/watch out for with these?

Thanks,

Phill
 
Hi Phill,

welcome !

I have a 2016 E330 I converted from NG to propane and replacing the manifold is the way to go.

You can go with a Weber branded hose/regulator, or go with an aftermarket regulator. Several of us have had success with non-weber branded ones and some swear by the weber branded ones. YMMV

For the side burner, I just swapped orifices. I'd have to dig up my notes for the size but it is straightforward to replace.

Other things: ?

The propane tank won't mount inside without cutting a hole in the floor, and the natural gas version of the 330 does not have a heat shield on the slide out bottom pan so to work around this, I highly recommend mounting the tank on the outside.

You can use a tank hanger that's commonly found on Genesis Silver B/C and Golds from the early 2000s. It fits right into the existing holes and you can dress it up with a weber tank cover

Thread 'Outboarding the propane tank on a 2016 Genesis E330'

My E330 was converted from NG to LP.

I've been putting off cutting a hole in the floor so the propane tank would mount properly on the tank hanger / scale.

When I saw @JohnS FL restore his 2009 E310 and relocate the tank outboard on the RH side, I decided to move the tank outside on my E330.

Works great. I gain storage space inside and I plan to add a spare tank holder on the left hand side.

I moved the mount for the hardline to the outside.

Welcome to the forum, and I'm glad you're choosing to do this conversion the proper way. I can't add too much to what Dan said except to comment on the side burner. I just recently converted a grill though it was a propane to NG job. I did not notice any real difference in the way the side burner operated on either gas, so I would do your conversion first and see how the side burner works before worrying too much about changing that orifice as it may not be necessary.
