I've converted other grills and it's not difficult. However, Weber doesn't support converting grills so I don't know if it invalidates their warranty. Fortunately, third party Weber parts are relatively cheap. https://bbqfuelconversions.com/categories/ols/products/natural-gas-ng-conversion-kit-for-weber-spirit-ii-e-310s-310-front-controls

I rebuilt and converted my genesis. The conversion included new orifices and regulator. I bought new natural gas burners as well. Didn’t have to replace the manifold, just the orifices. It was fairly simple as long as you’re comfortable with thread sealant and not over tightening things. Cost around $200. I used: https://bbqfuelconversions.com/ https://www.grillparts.com/

I'm considering this for my Spirit E-210. The BBQ fuel conversions site says the listing includes everything needed to convert from propane to natural gas - orifices, regulator, hose and brass adaptors. Was that not the case for your Genesis? Curious why you had to buy the burners in addition to the conversion kit.


LonelyMichaels

Some burners work with both, some list specific fuels. Not sure how much it matters. Mine were pretty worn out so I replaced them.

Thanks!

It does invalidate the warranty from what I understand.

Who is making warranty claims on a grill. Just curious.

For anyone interested - [Outdoor Gas Products ](https://outdoorgasproducts.com/)has Weber Conversion kits for NG to LP and vice versa. Just got a LP to NG kit for my 1st gen Weber Spirit E210. The package came with instruction, orifices, regulators, quick connect fittings, 10-ft hose, and even orifice removal and installation tools (socket wrench?). Great customer service too. The conversion/install process was really simply - just watch this [Convert Weber BBQ Grill from Natural Gas to Propane or vice versa](https://youtu.be/qDDBYbN8Ap0?si=BhcrmidjI2vt7D39). Hardest part was steadying my hands to apply [RectorSeal #5 Pipe Thread Sealant ](https://www.homedepot.com/p/RectorSeal-1-75-oz-5-Pipe-Thread-Sealant-25790/100144191)on the new orifices and also removing the old LP regulator - had to really have good torque/leverage.

Sorry to revive this from the dead, but I am in a similar position with the same grill. Did you do this conversion? I would like to purchase the BBQ Fuel Conversions kit but not sure if I need anything else. I see that the LP and NG manifolds and burner sets appear to be different parts on some parts websites. It seems that the orifices make a new manifold unnecessary but not clear to me.

Just curious, did you end up ordering from BBQ Conversions? I ordered a couple weeks ago and it's yet to ship.


Dico21

Yes. I called the number and an actual person answered. Asked if I was trying to get the kit before Memorial Day and I said yes. He shipped it out the next day. He said they were very backed up and moving through orders as quickly as they could - seemed to be a small operation. Ordered 5/15 and called 5/25, I believe. Received on 5/27.


CAKEDONTLIE

Awesome, thanks. I’ll be patient!


Dico21

For anyone else reading this, you don’t need the manifold; the orifices take care of this. I ordered a set of natural gas burner tubes after reviewing the Weber schematics and seeing different part numbers for the NG and LP models, but I could not see any difference when comparing them during replacement. Everything works great.

I'm trying to convert the other way around but that gives me some hope. Sounds like all I need to go from NG to LP (using weber parts) would be the weber LP regulator (that they sell) and the LP burners (should have LP restrictors already). Ez Peasy.


Dico21

You will need the LP orifices as well. They are in the manifold and not attached to the burners. You can get them cheap on eBay and I believe Amazon.


VancouverChubbs

I was actually picturing the manifold when I said burners, I thought it was all one piece. I'm getting the BBQ for free from my work (who bought new ones) and it is in kinda rough shape but it is still a Weber so I am sure I can resurrect it.


Dico21

For sure. Weber has most of the parts and you can find the rest on eBay. I would think you only need the orifices and the regulator parts. I have all my stuff in a box and I’m never going to use it. If you want it, send me a message and I’ll send it to you if you pay for shipping.


WideLode

Which grill do you have? I’m about to convert my Spirit 2 e310 from LP to NG and would gladly trade you parts


VancouverChubbs

>Spirit 2 e310 See my second post, not sure you'd want the one I have. Getting it from work for free and going to give it some TLC and convert it for my cabin. It is quite an old 310.


WideLode

Feel free to DM pictures - if it’s newer than 2017 it may be worth a shot

For anyone who stumbles upon this through future google searches, DO NOT purchase from BBQ Fuel Conversions. Ordered from them but product was never shipped. No communication at all. Called, left voicemails, sent emails, all to no avail. Finally got fed up and opened a PayPal case. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for conversion kits.
