I was able to convert mine and it worked fine. I did the same thing I've done to everything that I've purchased that was intended for LP (propane) which is remove all of the LP gadgets (hose, regulator etc) and re-plumb accordingly for natural gas and then enlarge the jet accordingly. Of course none of this is UL approved or endorsed by Char-Broil in any way but if can be done. When completed the cooking time on natural gas was exactly the same as what the Char-Broil literature stated for LP.

These hoses are designed for outdoor hook ups; natural gas implies a faily permanent indoor hook up. It will work in a pinch but it is not meant for long term indoor use and does not satisfy code.

I don't think it can, I'm not 100% sure. Why don't you try the generac website. I do know that the smaller generator does come propane ready, BUT I recall reading that it will run 4.5 hrs at half load on a 20 lb cylinder or propane. That is the same size your gas grill uses. I don't know where you live but here in penna that costs me 15 dollars to fill that cylinder. So I'm not sure why you would want propane over Gas. I'm quite happy with my 8000 gas and will continue to use it. Hope this helps answer your question.

No. It's propane not natural gas. Those are difference gas fittings. This is strictly propane as there is a tank hidden underneath the base. It's very easy to access. You will be changing these tanks out probably more than you are used to with your gas grill. I've enjoyed my units. They r well worth the price and based on advertising they seem to b growing n popularity.

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 use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

Yes, according to the papers I have it can be run on natural gas. It takes a few modifications.

The natural gas unit comes with a reg. usually preset to 3.5 to 4.5 "WC. Your house line pressure is around 6-7"WC. approx. 1/4PSI. 27" is a pound. Of course, to set or check gas pressure you would need a monometer. If you do buy one, make sure it measures inches of water column not inches of mercury. I like the bigger one with the logs. Does anyone know if logs can be an option or an extra?

Yes. I had my gas co. hook mine to my 250 gal. propane underground tank. They tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator next to my house and installed a tamper resistant valve with a quick connect on it. I have run it this way. Works fine. Would highly recommend you get your gas co. to do this. They need to see if the high pressure line is big enough. To hook it up this way also voids the warranty.

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 !

Ours says for liquid propane only. May be able to change the orifice to a natural gas. But, not that I can see. Sorry.

Yes. There is a bolt on conversion kit that will allow it to run on propane or natural gas in addition to gasoline

You would need to run power to it. They have gas tankless too. More money but cheaper to run than electric. No gas where I live so I went to electric.

Not natural gas (without changing the regulator, anyway), but you can buy an adaptor hose that'll let you connect to a large propane bottle (20# or 30# bottle).

I see only negative replies on the operation of this generator converted to natural gas. My natural gas BBQ is not a stationary appliance and I don't have the need for an embedded generator.

Yes you can. However we do need to as we have a gas hook up. Sorry for delay in response
