Need to convert from propane to natural gass

Can this grill be also used on propane? If so you might be running it too hot on natural gas, check to see if the control knobs have two different set of markings.

Jenn Air model 720 0061 LP outdoor grill manufactured 12/ 2004 serial DG-002
I have bought this second hand. Would like operating , maintenance, and parts info.

I think natural gas (or methane) barbecues are quite thin on the ground and most use either butane or propane.

The jetting for a natural gas appliance is quite large due to the gas being a particularly or relatively low calorific value.

There isn't a huge difference between the jetting of the butane and propane powered appliances and considering a barbecue is designed to be used outside in free air, there is little point in the fine tuning for perfect combustion and so the two gases can be considered interchangeable in most instances and certainly most people running a butane appliance on propane find it more satisfactory in all aspects especially when the temperature falls and butane freezes in the cylinder, propane doesn't.

When buying a propane regulator I would tend to opt for the adjustable type due to the added versatility, can be used with a blowtorch for instance...

Hi,

Your problem could be or probably is with the regulator...not enough gas pressure...

Propane, LP, or Natural Gas Regulator Problems

You will need a conversion kit. The kit should be about twenty dollare, and it will explain exactly what to do. if you have any questions get back. You need a Jenn Air kit so go to any Jenn air dealer to get it.

I'll trade my propane regulator for your natural gas hook up.

Go to jenn airs web site an order a new natural gas regulator and or-faces.

Good luck and please rate fixya!

Yes, it is possible.

You have to get the right orifice's for Natural gas. LP gas orifice has twice the size hole as compared to Natural Gas. Using it without the right orifice will put out way too much gas, and you will burn everything, as well as it will be a fire hazard.

Your local gas company or propane company should be able to get you the right orifice

Please rate this solution.

It is inconceivable to me that large manufacturers like Jenn-Air and Nexgrill can jointly make and sell an expensive grill and then completely abandon the consumer. I purchased an Jenn-Air 740-0142 LPG and like so many wanted to convert to nautural gas which requires a larger gas orifice. I spent a month on the internet and phone calling Jenn-Air and finally Nexgrill who actually manufactured the unit in China. The Jenn-Air and Nexgrill serial numbers are the same. the 740 prefix is LPG and the 750 prefix is natural gas. After three calls to Nexgrill I found a manager who actually acknowledged making Jenn-Air but declined selling me parts for it as I believe they have product liability concerns. I call back as a Nexgrill owner and finally ordered natural gas orifices at $10.00 each. The shipment never showed up. Calling back again I was told that they really didnt really have any orifices in stock but could sell me the entire replacement gas valve for $28.00 which I purchased. The valves actually arrived on the shipping receipt was from The Grill Services in City of Industry 909-718-6128 www.grillservices.com . Part number 750-0141/142/593/594.

Forget about pirates in Somalia... we have them right here. Shame on you Jenn-Air and Nextgrill.
