Anytime you mess around with gas there is a chance for fire/explosion. Yo need to get an LP conversion for the specific heater. Some kits come with just the nozzle. Some come with a different spring for the gas valve and the nozzle. Some gas valves require adjustment after conversion some do not. I would probably first talk to the folks at your local LP gas company and see what they have to say.

I'm looking to do a LP conversion to my generator, and seems like these guy's can answer your questions. For mine, $170 for gasoline/propane, and $200 for a tri-fuel, LP, Nat Gas, Gasoline www.centuryfuelproducts.com

I have been given a small 10-20,000 BTU rated heater .It is set/up for natural gas..am told to change the nozzle on the inside of the heater to a smaller one.It would be perfect to heat my fur shed.Any of you ever convert one of these to propane ? Is there a real danger[explosive or fire]..Any input from you HVAC or experienced plumbers would be appreciated. Live large, throw the free one away and buy one of these. I use two in Maine for the fur shed.

The wall mounted ones some have CO2 sensors and some have a blower motor that works on a thermostat that you can add.

A lot of Propane co's will do conversions for you, especially in the rural area's..
