Gas furnace question
 

I'm looking to replace an old oil furnace on a rural property with a
propane furnace. I intend to do it myself. Since the property is
just a hunting cottage I am not looking to spend a lot. I am actually
looking for a used furnace if I can get one. My question is whether
gas furnaces are specifically made for natural gas or propane, or are
they all the same and just need a different orfice(s) intalled to
match the type of gas used? Anyone know?

Thanks

I bought a new one and watched as the tech did a changeover to
propane. While some may be shipped with the changeover already
installed, they are essentially the same unit.
Too bad I didn't know you a couple of years ago, I had 2 complete
propane furnaces I scrapped out, one was in really good shape, I just
couldn't imagine much of a market for them. I'd have gladly have given
them away.

You breath through one and you......

And you go to the other orifice in the morning. "Honey, I'll
be at the orifice, if anyone needs me".

Double entendre intentional.
