Title: Question re: Big Easy SRG conversion to natural gas
Post by: timberlane on May 21, 2016, 11:34:57 AM
Recently purchased a Charbroil Big Easy SRG and converted it to natural gas.  Viewing the gas control knob panel as a clock face, the knob is full OFF at 6:00 and at full ON at 12:00.  Gas does not actually start to flow until app. 7:30, is at maximum at app. 9:00, and, starts decreasing to full off at app. 10:30.  I would have anticipated the flow to begin at 6:00 and gradually increase to full ON at 12:00, but this is not the case.  Is the valve operating correctly ?  Apparently the only way to buy a replacement valve is to buy the hose, regulator, and valve assembly ($40.00) which I'm reluctant to do without knowing if the valve is faulty.
BTW, installed a thermometer on the lid and maximum temp is app. 450* when control knob is at 9:00.

Thanks, timberlane

I want to convert my new SRG to nat gas as well but CB doesn't make a conversion kit. How is this accomplished?

There is away Muebe (Mike) has he's converted.   I would ask a gas company for advice if you don't think you can do it your self.

I wish I could convert mine but I don't have gas to the house nore do I want the $$$$$ to have it done
