call the customer service department for your appliance manufacturer. They
have the parts to convert from NG to propane, & vice versa. I looked into at
once and it seemed relatively easy to do.

No not that kind of gas. I have moved from a condo in the city to 29
wooded hilltop acres in the country. My house is now all electric. My
nearly new dryer is natural gas.
I hate cooking on an electric range and am not impressed with my
electric water heater so I plan on replacing them with gas units.
Unfortunetly the natural gas line stops well short of my rural property
and the cost of extending it is prohibative. So it looks like propane
is my only option. Question, can my natural gas dryer be changed to
propane? Is it expensive to do so? Or will I have to sell it and buy
a propane model?
I am putting up one of those prefab shop buildings, a US Steel 30 by 40
foot model. I will be using a 200 amp service with both 115v and 230v
single phase available in the shop. Being located in a rural area
there are almost no restrictions so I am going to wire it myself (from
the service) with romex. The power company will run the 100 feet of
line from the pole underground to the shop for no charge if I dig the
ditch. They do require a 200 amp disconnect for the shop. I decided
to have them remove the above ground line to the house and go
underground to the shop connection to allow me to run ham antennas
safely into the house.
I will be putting the propane tank slightly downhill from the shop
(propane is heavier than air, right?) and running a line in for a gas
forge and a metal smelting furnace. Any suggestions for line size and
or regulators? Another line will go underground to the house for
domestic use. Thanks Gary
