Temping your smoker
-
My propane fired smoker was too hot and I couldn’t get the temperature below 150 F. Converting it to natural gas solved the problem

Curious how it mattered? -
Did you change the orifice to natural gas?

Since I needed less BTUs I used the original propane orifice. I’m still able to get the temperature to 275F on high and about 100 F on low

Brianzipperdog123 that could result in problems as the orfices are not interchangeable and be dangerous as the gases different makeup burn completely different

Brianzipperdog123 Yeah that was my question on the post you posted the pic as well, did you change out the connection and burner? Like I said there too, I am not saying you have to, am just asking as I have never experimented with it. I do have a natural gas hookup running to my back deck though in case I need/want to.

All I did was remove the propane regulator then hook up the natural gas line. Since it’s been more than ten years ago I don’t remember having to adjust the air but the flame looks ideal

Jonathon You need a natural gas propane grill so you can just let it run 24/7/365 and never have to worry about running out of fuel or coming home to a grill that isn’t ready to sear a steak!
