They likely stopped selling the kits due to liability, idiots doing
the conversion wrong and starting a fire. or? I had the propane
company I use make the conversion at the time they ran the line out to
my deck area, 17 years ago, took the guy 10 minutes, no charge... only
need to change the burner tubes and the regulator. which at that time
I ordered from Weber... I still have the kit for natural gas only I no
longer have that grill. However now Amazon sells the kits:
