this can be done but its not as simply as just hooking it up. you will need to change the manifold which is not always readily available. depending upon the manufacturer of the grill, you will likely need to order an L.P. (Propane) manifold directly from the manufacturer. Most propane distributors will convert natural gas appliances to LP for a modest fee. It is a matter of changing orifice sizes to let less gas into the appliance. Since propane burns about 4 times hotter than gas, an orifice which is about half the diameter is used. We had all of our gas appliances, dryer, stove, BBQ, converted when we moved from a location with natural gas to propane.

Would a bad millivolt thermopile allow the burner to light and the burner go out after several minutes?
I don't believe so. Most likely you are tripping a limit switch.
What is Limit switch furnace?
A limit switch is a switch that will shut off a burner at the highest temp that is allowed. Example:If the limit is set at 200 degrees, the inside of your heater will heat up to that temp, then the burner will shut off. The blower motor or circulator pump will move the air or water around your house. When the inside of your heater cools down anywhere from 15-25 degrees, the burner will come back on & the cycle repeats itself over & over until the thermostat is satisfied.
Can you use propane in a generator and then change it to natural gas?
I've done a little research in that area setting up a couple of natural gas generators for my home. What I found out is that propane (in some type of tank) and natural gas (coming from the utility company) have different delivery pressures. The propane will require a regulator at the tank to match it to your natural gas service pressure levels. You can also expect propane to not be as energy efficient as natural gas, which means you'll have to use a larger volume of gas to deliver same amount of work, or output from your generator. To switch between the two, you'll have to use different sized orifices to feed the generator. Depending on how your generator is set up to receive the gas (like a carburetor adapter plate) or some other type of feed system, you may have to do some modifications to be able to switch between the two. Can it be done? Sure, but how much do you want to go through to be able to do it? If it's just a gas carburetor plate, you could probably stack them and switch the gas feeds as needed. If not, it might require some fancy plumbing and maybe going as far as going to a machinist to have some parts made.
Changeing switch on a craftman tablesaw with a household switch-?
It is not recommended to change the switch on a Craftsman table saw with a household switch. The original switch is designed specifically for the saw's voltage and amperage requirements, ensuring safe operation. Using a household switch may not provide the necessary protection and could potentially cause damage to the saw or pose a safety hazard. It is best to consult the manufacturer or a professional electrician for appropriate replacement options.
Where do you position the emergency switch for an oil burner?
Wherever you are most likely to be when you discover an emergency. I'm not being flippant; that's the right answer. If this oil burner is large (I have no way to know from your question) you might place it near your exit since in an emergency you will likely be leaving the area and can hit the switch as you leave the room. You also want it placed so it isn't accidentally triggered.
