I'm a home brewer and would like to convert my propane to natural gas. Do you need a needle valve? Connect directly to gas supply?

No you don't. I bought these and hooked them right up to the natural gas line

You need a valve but not a needle valve. I use mine for brewing as well and just used a Home Depot ball valve on the end of a section of black pipe running from the burner to the valve. Love the burner although it does blacken the brew kettle.

I used this to make an evaporation unit to boil maple syrup, other reviews say they've used it for home brewing... Not much different. I hooked directly to an outside gas line and use a ball valve to regulate the flow. This thing means business! It puts out the heat. I have to keep it about 2/3rds open or it will boil out of control.

I just used the ball valve isolation that I connected the burner to as a rough sort of throttle valve. My biggest issue was getting enough air flow to keep the flame hot. My kettle is very sooty now. Other than that it is a pretty good burner for the price, hard to beat.

what you need just connect natural gas hose (with an on/off valve) to this Thunder jet stove burner, that's!

I don't know the answer to that question. However if you go to homebrew Network on Facebook you'll have your question answered within minutes

The only thing needed inline is a ball valve to manually regulate the gas. I put a 8" piece of 1/2" gas pipe then a ball valve and finally a fitting to attach the hose to and it works great.

Yes, through Weber... but you most likely will need a licensed plumber or someone qualified to work with natural gas to get it hooked up

I'm not sure how expensive or how easy it would be to convert an existing propane model to a natural gas one, but they do sell the same model for natural gas. Just search "weber spirit 310 natural gas".

I believe there is a valve/ regulator you can buy at Home Depot or Lowes that converts from natural gas to propane. I don't think it costs more than $30....

Mine came with a special hose that was for natural gas connection. I had a plumber put a quick-connect connector on and a valve on my natural gas line. It does not have the twist type end that a propane connector usually has. Hope that helps.

No. You must adapt stove to use this line connection. There are some YouTube videos on how and what you need. Remember think safe when working with propane and double check any mods you make.

Yes - that's exactly what I did. It comes with the nozzle for natural gas, you just need to switch it.

If you go to a grill store, or hardware store they will have all fittings needed to accomplish this. If you were trying to hook up to a natural gas line you will need to buy a different regulator that will screw into the hose going to the grill. If you were trying to connect to another propane tank there are houses made that screw into the port of this grill, and on a regular size Propane tank.

You can hook it to the big propane tank with the converter hose, not included of course. I bought the hose but have not used it because i am using up the several small cannisters that I already have. I don't know about hooking it to a fixed natural gas line.

While I have not tried a natural gas conversion, Generac's website on its LP portable generators cautions against using natural gas. They say that they don't have conversion kits, and that most codes don't allow portable LP generators to be hooked to a natural gas line. To use natural gas, Generac recommends using a solid mounted home generator.

If your grille was purchased as a propane grille (LP), which it likely was, you will need a natural gas conversion kit. Kits usually include the long hose you need as well as a pressure regulator and new jets for each burner. Check with Weber as regulators are sometimes convertible from LP to NG and they will have a kit designed for your grille.

I haven't tried it but it has the same makeup as a gas grill. You would have to change the orfice setting to account for natural gas and the connenction in order to connect to your supply line. If you aren't sure what I am talking about then you probably shouldn't do it because the unit doesn't come with a conversion kit

I had my propane company hook mine up. I highly recommend you do the same. I have a high pressure line from the tank to the regulator that goes to the house. The generator has its own regulator,so they tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator at the house, and installed a valve that was tamper proof. I then had them install a quick connector to the valve. I bought a 12 ft. high pressure hose for the generator and installed the other half of quick connect to it. It works great! Just so you know....... this kind of hookup will void your warranty.

Natural gas come from a gas well on my farm, and NO!!!!! You cannot use a propane with stove! Look for a propane !!!

No. I had to hire a plumber to run a separate line From my natural gas source. He also made me a selperate line from the generator to the gas hook up. This generator needs a specific amount of PSI to do the job right. Hire a licensed plumber to do the job right ,for the safety of your family. having said that,I am extremely pleased with the generator. I finally have peace of mind !

Not directly to it. First you would have to get an adapter at Walmart to connect the 1 pound tank to an RV pressure regulator which has a coupling designed to connect to a larger RV tank. Between the stove top and regulator you would attach an appropriate length of propane gas line. If you want to connect a 1 pound tank directly you'll need to get a camping stove made to use that way.

No adapter is needed, but the connector has to be tightened very tightly for the propane to flow.
