Does this burner work with natural gas?? Also, any recommendations on an inexpensive valve and ignition kit?

these are actually for natural gas, if you use propane the holes in the fire ring would be smaller, cause the pressure difference between nat gas and propane. you can find the valve keys like the ones you use on a fireplace to adjust the flame and to open and close the gas line, they also make all weather electronic ignition systems, but those run like $1500 just for the mechanism that lets you turn the fire pit on with either a switch or wireless button.

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

it is a propane cooker. I do not think the oriface on the unit support nat gas.

No mention of using natural gas in the manual. The hose connection is for LPG/Propane and I suspect that the orifice in the gas chamber is for propane.

Well you don't give much information but I'll offer something that might help. I bought a stove that ran on natural gas and bought this kit to switch it to propane. I did not have to change anything where the stove connects to the gas line so they muct be the same. Hope this helps!

yup, you have to get a hose, regulator and tank. Works much better with gas, tried it with flux core wire and was very hot and messy. Hobart makes a fixed flow regulator that I have and it seems to work well, just cant tell whats left in the tank.

You need to buy the propane version of this heater, not the natural gas one. Search for it - its on Amazon. It will work fine with one of those 25 pound tanks you can exchange at Home Depot or other such places, but it wont last very long at full blast. I have two 40 pound tanks. Whenever one runs out, I switch to the other one and go get the empty filled. I use mine to heat a weekend cabin. If you are going to heat continuously, I would suggest a much larger tank.

I can only speak about my application. My application is natural gas with a 750 milli-volt pile generator. In this case the thermostat works flawlessly. I don't think it matters whether you're heating with natural gas or propane. Ensure the gas valve is compatible with the thermostat. Thermostats are generally low voltage items and I'm fairly confident your propane control system is compatible with this thermostat. But without reviewing the specifications I CANNOT accurately say yes or no.

I have never used this KAB6 on natural gas. I use propane and have not seen a better unit than this KAB6.

I've done both and it works fine. Just make sure if you put them around the burner they don't impede the flame or gas flow. This can cause hot or cold spots and/or difficult lighting.

Kathleen, I have one of those working on natural gas and it works like a charm! You should have or buy the propane version and it will run on any tank, but if you need to run it on full for an extended time, I would recommend getting a larger tank. If it's a small room however, it is probably sufficient to run it on a low setting and then a small propane tank will most likely last quite a while. So, in a nutshell, it depends... Sorry, that's the best answer I can give you. Good luck and hope you're staying warm.

No. This heater has jets for 'natural gas only'. Look for a model advertised for 'propane' if thats what you need. Propane is more volatile than natural gas and if connected to this heater would result in a very large yellow flame and would be a dangerous thing to do.

Hi, I know for sure propane, But not sure about natural gas. Maybe giving a call to the company would help answer that question. One thing for sure is that the quality of this product is excellent for the price. Setting it up at first looked a bit overwhelming, but as long as u follow the instructions You'll be fine.

I use propane. This is a very basic cooker; fuel/air mix easy to adjust. Should burn nat gas easily

I think that would be an accident waiting to happen without a proper modification. There is no way to hook a propane regulator to natural gas because the connection if different. My stove can use both fuels but came with special outlets for that purpose to allow the correct amount of gas to flow. Save your house from destruction and contact the manufacturer before the fire and or explosion.

I went to the manufacturer's web site, I found no parts or information about converting this smoker over to natural gas, like all appliances there will be special parts for each type of gas, being that they don't have options to buy conversion kits, my guess, it is only LP, however, you can check with a professional heating and air, they should be able to tell you and help locate any parts needed, good luck
