Depends on usage of fireplace. Have propane tank topped off monthly to figure out how much gas being used. Either that, or wait until tank is empty.
Check the prices of propane and natural gas where you are. That will be the deciding factor.
buy a new fireplace.
It can- but propane and natural gas have different heat values- check with your gas company to see if yours can be converted SAFELY.
My personal experiene with using propane on my fireplace is that it is a lot cheaper than electricity. However, it is not as cheap as gas.
Not a good idea. People that designed your gas fireplace did not design it to have a separate heat source in there with the gas piping and controls.
Get a certified technician to work on gas. He will have to change the orifice, possibly the gas valve.
What is the proper way of attaching propane tank to bottom of grill
Yes, you would need a regulator off the tank, from there run the line. Some LP gas logs will come with a regulator at the unit as well.
A propane gas stove doesn't require electricity to keep going. It allows you to stay warm even if there's a power outage. Propane stoves don't require the labor of splitting, stacking and carrying in logs. Propane tanks can easily be refilled by your gas company. Finally, propane burning stoves are affordable and there are a lot of models to choose from.
Propane itself is a single compound, but the gas inside a consumer propane tank is a mixture of propane and an oderant (smelly compound) such as ethanethiol or thiophene so you can smell when there's a leak or the gas has been left on.
AnswerThe regulator forces the gas from the propane tank to maintain a constant discharge pressure-regardless of the level of propane in the tankA regulator does not force gas from a tank. It merely regulates the amount of pressure from the tank.
