The difference is the size of the gas jets, Ig. Natural gas is under
much less pressure, hence a larger jet. I had to rejet a nat gas to
propane when I lived in Vista in the '70s. That old beastie will be
in my heart forever. Huge chrome griddle, 4 burners (one thermostatic)
separate broiler with infinitely adjustable height, one oven. Just
like this: http://www.savonappliance.com/images/forsale/om10.jpg

Anyway, jets are cheap ($5-ish), available, and easy to replace. They
screw on/off.

Here in Canada it is almost impossible to buy conversion kits to
convert anything from Propane to NG, or vise versa.
Appliance manufacturers are not alowed to sell retrofit kits - you
have to buy the appliance set up for the gas you want to use. Makes it
stupid expensive to switch a home from propane to NG when the pipeline
gets installed down your road.
