What happens when natural gas is hooked up to stove that is set up for lp gas?
Hi, Good question you have there and I for one am glad you asked it. Your system will burn way way rich air fuel ratio mixture as that LP gas requires much smaller jetting simply because its heat output per given volume is roughly 3 times that of natural gas. Be careful with any kind of fuel in your home, (especially) LP fuel. I have seen houses blown completely off their slabs and foundations because of a fuel leak matched with some form of spark. ( Usually an electronic furnace ignitor ) NOT ALWAYS,,,, but, you get the point. Have your LP supplier to rejet your furnace and set it up for you. Usually if you are changing over to their fuel they do it at nominal prices and sometimes nothing. Hope this helps: Jimiwane

In the United States, propane and LP-gas often mean the same thing, because propane is the most common type of LP gas used. Just as water can be a liquid or a gas (steam), so can propane. Under normal conditions, propane is a gas. Under pressure, propane becomes a liquid.
