I have a Fiesta FG50069 grill that is NG specd from the factory and I now wish to convert to run on propane. There's no factory conversion kit and just changing the hose creates an unmanageable flame. Can anybody suggest what else I should do?

Hello, Kevin -

Do you mean a Weber (not Webber) Genisis grill? If so . . . see the information from the Weber grill company regarding the conversion of a natural gas grill to propane here:

https://consumer-care.weber.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001730474-How-can-I-convert-my-grill-from-liquid-propane-LP-to-natural-gas-NG-or-vice-versa-


Bottom line:
The Weber company does not recommend it and does not provide a conversion kit.

Best wishes.

Try National Energy They are on line and sell complete kits for conversion to lpg

You can obtain a conversion kit from Nexgrill, the manufacturer of your Jenn-Air Gas Grill.. By calling
800-913-8999.

Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Weber stopped selling conversion kits due to some legal action in 2008. There are no longer kits available. What you would have to do to covert it is order a replacement gas valve for the NG version of your grill just to get the orifices. Then you have to replace the LP regulator with a NG regulator. Typically most NG grills do NOT have a regulator but local building codes will require a NG regulator and a different gas line hose.
Conversion of a BBQ gas valve to NG is a matter of drilling out the orifice to a larger hole in an LP orifice.
You will not find anyone that will perform this conversion for you due to legal liabilites.
If you want to convert it... you will either have to order the whole gas control valve for NG or drill out the orifices yourself in your current gas valve hoping your got the orifice hole size correct when you drilled it. Mind you all liability for doing this lies solely with you.

Weber sells conversion kits. Basically, you need a new regulator and manifold to accommodate LP instead of the existing regulator/manifold setup for natural gas. Unfortunately, Weber does not sell their parts online. Their parts phone # is: 877-731-8081

The model you have (G50069) has been discontinued by Fiesta and replaced by model # FGF50069-584LP (they are very similar). Neither your model or the current model have a conversion kit available. You either purchase/purchased it as a Propane model or a Natural Gas model. Even the Owners Manual states that it can not and should not be converted from one fuel type to another. (See link below)

Hope this helped answer your question.

I believe the Lowe's salesperson may have misled you. I may be wrong, but the find at for sure contact Fiesta Grill in the USA at 800-396-3838. In Canada 800-387-8643.

Weber does not sell conversion kits, they say liability to high. You need to purchase new grill.

yesL contact your local propain provider and/or plumbing supply Co. They need to see the valve and they will let you if they can convert it or not. If not they will sell you an L.P. style valve.
