Dyna-Glo Natural Gas Conversion Guide

Have a Dyna-Glo propane grill but want to connect to your home gas line? Here's what you need to know about converting a Dyna-Glo grill to natural gas — and why buying a factory natural gas model is usually the better choice.

Safety Warning

Converting a grill from propane to natural gas involves changing gas orifices and the regulator. An improper conversion can cause gas leaks, uneven flames, and fire hazards. Dyna-Glo does not officially support conversion on most models, and doing so may void your warranty. If you proceed with a third-party kit, have a licensed gas technician inspect the conversion before use.

Can You Convert a Dyna-Glo Propane Grill?

Technically yes, practically it depends. Propane-to-natural-gas conversion requires:

  1. Replacing the orifices — natural gas requires larger orifice holes (lower pressure = more gas volume needed).
  2. Replacing the regulator — propane regulators operate at ~11" WC pressure; natural gas at ~7" WC.
  3. A natural gas hose connection — standard 3/8" quick-disconnect fitting to your home gas line.

Third-party conversion kits for Dyna-Glo grills are available on Amazon for $30-60. However, Dyna-Glo does not manufacture or endorse an official conversion kit for most models. Using a third-party kit voids the warranty.

Better Option: Buy a Factory Natural Gas Model

Dyna-Glo sells most of their popular grills in both propane and natural gas versions. Factory natural gas models come with properly sized orifices, the correct regulator, and full warranty coverage. The price difference between propane and natural gas versions is typically $0-$30.

How to identify natural gas models: Look for model numbers ending in "N" or "SN". Examples:

  • DGA480BSN — 4-burner natural gas
  • DGA550SSN — 5-burner natural gas (stainless steel)
  • DGB610SSN — 6-burner natural gas

Benefits of Natural Gas Grilling

  • No tank refills. Connected to your home gas line, you never run out mid-cookout.
  • Lower fuel cost. Natural gas is typically 60-70% cheaper per BTU than propane, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
  • Cleaner burning. Natural gas produces less carbon monoxide and soot than propane.
  • Unlimited supply. No tank swaps, no running out during a party.

The only downside: your grill is permanently stationed wherever the gas line connects. If you need portability, stick with propane.

FAQ

Can Dyna-Glo grills be converted to natural gas?
Some models can, but not all. Dyna-Glo does not sell an official propane-to-natural-gas conversion kit for most models. Third-party conversion kits exist on Amazon, but using them may void your warranty and could be a safety hazard if not done correctly. The safest option is to buy a factory natural gas model.
How do I know if my Dyna-Glo grill is propane or natural gas?
Check the model number. Propane models typically end in "P" or "SP" (e.g., DGF493BNP, DGE530BSP). Natural gas models end in "N" or "SN" (e.g., DGA480BSN, DGA550SSN). The fuel type is also printed on the rating plate inside the cart frame.
What is the difference between propane and natural gas Dyna-Glo grills?
The burner orifices (gas jet holes) are different sizes — natural gas orifices are larger because natural gas operates at lower pressure. The regulator and hose connection are also different. The cooking performance is identical once properly connected. Natural gas grills connect to your home gas line and never need tank refills.
