Default permanent connection of propane grill to city gas?


The big gottcha is finding the proper orifice


Dont have to find em.. a 'professional" BBQ supplier shop here will take in
your whole burner rig (you take it apart) and DRILL OUT the existing orf's
to the proper size. This works Propane TO NG as the hole gets bigger..
Wont work NG to Propane.

Now If I'd known that they weren't REPLACING the orifices (but simply
drilling them out) I could have done that myself..but admittedly I didnt
know what size bit to use. Now, if anyone asks, I can slip a drill bit into
my setup, find out the size and let them know.

Our place has a built-in NG 'quick release' hookup for the BBQ out on the
deck out back. The gasline was plumbed when house was built. Later the gas
guys came back and attached the Quick Release valve..no additional permit or
inspection required here.
