Three months ago I replaced an old grill that was hooked up to an underground propane tank with this Summit grill. I bought the NG model because we have just gotten a gas line on our street, and I assumed (incorrectly) that I could convert the BBQ to propane in the short term, then hook it up to the gas line later on when I hooked up some of our other appliances, generator and pool (so a big job). Now I have two problems - (1) I can't hook the NG grill up to propane obviously, and (2) our plumbers just came today (we didn't have them here for 3 months due to COVID) and they're telling me the hookup to the gas line is a major expense.
So now I'm stuck. The way I see it I have 2 options, neither of which is great. First, I can sell the NG grill and buy an LP - it has been covered the last 3 months, and literally never used, so I'm hoping I can get very close to the price I paid. Or second, I can convert it to propane, which the Weber site says voids the warranty and they don't really recommend that, but I'm wondering if that is just Weber being very cautious about their own liability & really it would be okay?
I feel like a bit of a dope over this, I've had this beautiful brand new grill for 3 months that I haven't been able to use. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Andy
