Or does it require a specific model to burn propane?
Thanks, guys. It's a pleasure to get answers from people who seem to know what they are talking about, even if you don't agree on everything.
If we ever move, my wife wants another self-cleaning oven and hasn't seen any propane stoves with this feature.
Answer
To do so, you MUST get a conversion kit from the original manufacturer. They will give you a new rating plate which is their proof that this appliance is "certified" for use with that fuel. If you "Mcgyver" the appliance and try and convert it by changing orifices etc yourself, you will void the manufacturer's warranty. Also, the manufacturer will take no responsibility if this appliance hurts anyone or property is damaged because you have "altered" the appliance. Insurance companies will deny claims for the same reason.
If the original manufacturer does not provide a conversion kit it can't be legally converted.
If by "stove" you are referring to a kitchen cooking appliance and not a free-standing fireplace, they are often what we call "dual-plated". The rating plate will show approval for both fuels. If this is the case it may be possible for a properly licenced technician to make adjustments to the appliance without replacing any parts to work properly with the alternate fuel. It depends on the unit. I would consult the manufacturer's certified operating instructions. They often cover this topic.
PS: The days of drilling out orifices are long gone guys. Anyway, natural gas has LESS btu's per volume so to convert from NG to propane you need smaller orifices not larger ones!
Hope this helps!
Edit: Personally I like the hybrid stoves that use propane ( or NG ) for the top burners but have an electric oven. You get the nice fast and hot top burners and the electric oven maintains a more even temperature than the gas ones. It's not as critical for cooking, but for baking that can be very important. Also you can get the self cleaning feature that way!
We no longer drill out orifices purely for liablility sake. Again, if that appliance hurts anyone or damages property it will be critiqued by fire and safety authorities as well as the authority having jurisdiction over the local gas codes. If that orifice is marked as a #32 it better be #32 size or you will have a problem! That is why drilling orifices has gone the way of the Do-Do bird. Years ago we could alter appliances, drill orifices and all kinds of things. But we don't dare do it anymore. Most propane and natural gas installation codes strictly forbid it now.
