lpg to propane---grill

[Sir Mankalot]

hey can a liquid petroleum gas grill be converted to a propane grill? my grandma got a lp grill and didnt realize...i guess she needs more but we are in the US and cant find it as easy as propane. it would be nice to just be able to convert it.:hidey:

i dnt beleive there is any safe way to do that

[Sir Mankalot]

well i was looking on the internet and they seem to be interchangable...so i guess we'll see...

I think SAFE might be the key word :cheeky:

I don't know why it would be safe to use propane. Liquid petroleum would almost be a gas anyways so I'm sure they would both work just fine.

I bought one not long ago in Aus, so did my sister and they said propane only but we run it on LPG.:| Just figured it was american:hidey: Didn't actually realise there is a difference.

LPG is Propane guys, its all in the same.

the grill was probably designed for natural gas. to convert to propane all you do is change the orifice(?) in the burner. it is a little fitting at the end of the gas line with a hole in it to regulate flow of gas. it is the size of the hole(s) that determine what gas to burn. i believe any apliance can be converted. an orifice can't cost more than a couple bucks.

ok propane is not the same as lpg cause propane has a thicker mixture and yes it can be converted easly if u no how ok because it is thicker u need to get a inlet gas nozzel (orifice)with bigger holes all round i belive there is 3 and a thought other things but ur best bet is to take it to a specalist thell be able to do it in 10 mins but odd thomas has the right idea

the first nozzle will be the connecter that connets to the propane cylinder the second in a filter (witch is hard to get to if it has a fitter there not uslly need for lpg but are for propane) and the last one in the burner

lpg is aka 'propane'

[baldfuck]

propane is a type or a subset of lpg.

ie it is a LPG, but so is butane. some cylinders are mixtures of propane and butane, they are also LPG.

LPG is just the name given to the gas fractions of petroleum once they have been pressurised into liquids.

They could include methane, ethane, propane and butane. In practice they tend to mainly be the last 2 or mixtures of them.

phewww, who'd want to grill with a methane mix?

[Zeus]

propane = Liquid Propane Gas

[Spork!!!]

Here in Aus. it's Liquid Petroleum Gas. I'm with baldfuck on this one.
