Can You Use a Natural Gas Range on Propane?

Not without converting it first. Propane runs at a higher pressure than natural gas, so you can’t just connect a propane tank to a range that’s still set up for natural gas. The flames can get too large and unstable, which can cause serious problems with the burners and oven.

Most natural gas ranges can be converted to propane. The conversion usually means replacing the burner orifices with smaller propane orifices, changing the regulator setting, and adjusting the oven and burner flames.

The exact steps depend on the range, so check the manufacturer’s instructions before you start. Since you’re working with gas, it’s best to have a qualified technician handle the conversion.

This is especially important around Bulverde and Spring Branch, where some homes use propane while others have natural gas.
