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

If natural gas is hooked up to a stove that is set up for LP gas, the flame on the stove will burn too high and could potentially cause a fire hazard. The orifice size for natural gas is larger than that for LP gas, so the pressure is too high when natural gas is used instead. It is important to use the correct type of gas for the stove to ensure safe and efficient operation.

What happens when propane is hooked up to a stove set up for natural gas?
If a stove set up for natural gas is connected to propane, the flame produced will burn hotter and may create soot or carbon buildup due to differences in heat output and combustion properties of propane compared to natural gas. Furthermore, using propane with a stove designed for natural gas may void the appliance's warranty and pose a safety hazard if not properly converted.
