Natural Gas and LP Gas Operation

One of the questions we are asked frequently is about the difference between natural gas and propane and what products work with which gas. Almost all gas products are shipped to work specifically with either natural or propane gas and will be clearly market as to which. In most all cases a product set for one gas can be used with the other gas by making a few changes. In the case of our gas log sets they do not care what gas is used but all gas log sets are shipped set up for natural gas with a right side gas connection but they can be converted to propane by adding a Safety Pilot Kit [http://www.outdoorroomliving.com/Safety_Pilot_Valve_Set_SPK-2-N.html ] which includes a conversion kit of a correctly sized orifice and a bag of vermiculite to replace the sand. Propane or LP gas is much heavier than natural gas and requires a vermiculite media for correct operation. As with any gas appliance if you are not sure about any part of the installation or operation call an expert. In many cases the gas company can help you.
