Thanks guys. The grill definitely has the right jets for natural gas; it was purchased directly from Weber (my father used to be a Weber distributor) and came with the gas hook up lines. I can't say

My neighbor converted his propane grill to natural gas, drilling out the orifices. It took a while to dial in the correct heat output on the burners due to the operating pressures of each fuel and th

LOL. This is why I have not yet converted my propane unit to Natural gas, even though I had a gas line brought out to the deck when I installed a gas dryer. I run my smoker on lump charcoal too. Rea

Thanks guys. That makes a lot of sense. Just to be sure we are all on the same page, I want to be sure you noticed that only the last 2 feet of the line is 1/4 inch. The other 16 or so feet is 1/2 i

Q: Does the last two feet limit all that came before it? A: Yes. The smallest cross-section anywhere in the run will limit the flow. Ben Zwissler bjzwissler@gmail.com Columbus, IN 1966 Triumph TR4A 1

Don't forget, the area of the pipe is proportional to the square of the diameter. So your 1/4 pipe has only 1/4 the cross-sectional area of the 1/2" pipe. Think of putting your thumb over the end of

If it's really 18 feet to the regulator, and it's not a twisty run, 20' of 1/2" type K copper pipe can supply 52K btu/hr, which may or may not enough to run the grill. (It should have a requirement i

Well a little bit no but mostly yes. Everything from point A to point B can affect the flow. In other words for every foot of the bigger tubing there is a certain amount of loss in pressure, for ever
