 Hard to install May 06, 2007
By D. Cunningham
"Donna C."
We recently moved to a new location and had the option of having a gas line installed on our deck. We thought it would easy to convert our gas grill to this line and looked forward to using the grill without having to constantly fill the tank. Even though we HAD to have this kit, it was not easy to install. Many stops at plumbing stores, Home Depots, Lowes, etc. before we were finally able to connect the kit to the gas line. It works and we love it, but it was not easy to install.

 Works, but not well at all. Mar 30, 2010
By JC
I recently installed the natural gas conversion kit on my Camp Chef triple burner stove. As others have said, it was a difficult installation, and after it was complete, the flame was only about half the size of original. After emailing back and forth with customer service, they mentioned that "When you hook up to natural gas you lose about a third of the btu output on the stove. Natural gas dosen't have the pressure or the heat of propane. You can drill out the oriface in each valve to .082 inches or a #45 drill bit to get the heat back up. Once you do that you can not use it with propane again." That's a direct quote (copy and paste) from their email, misspelling and all. And when I asked if they sell replacement orifices, they offered a whole valve assembly.
Long story short, don't waste your money unless you are comfortable purchasing new valve assemblies.

 Difficult to install? Aug 29, 2008
By Tod Wicks
"Yukon Jack"
I recently took delivery of a Weber NG (natural gas) Spirit, which came with a hose that looks remarkably like this one. I had the gas line extended to our deck and when I got the Weber, I found that I needed a reducing fitting that reduced the pipe diameter at the gas line to fit the hose fitting. I took the hose and the cover cap from the gas line (the line has a cut-off valve at the stub) to the local Ace hardware and a young fellow helped find the proper fitting (from 3/4" to 3/8". I also needed to add a very short piece of pipe (called a nipple) and an ell to complete the assembly. Took all this stuff home and within the hour we were grilling a steak, which turned out just right.
I'm in the market for a second hose to convert a smoker from charcoal to NG and I'll probably buy the one shown above.

 Didn't work for us Jul 28, 2010
By Jeanne
When installed, this did not deliver enough gas to get the temperature where it needs to be for most cooking. We took it off and went back to the tank!
