How do I make a charcoal Grill into a Gas Grill?

Question

I have a built in charcoal grill at my house, but would prefer gas because I dont grill a large qty and want to just turn on and off as needed. Calling places have suggested purchasing an insert, but that is very expensive. I have to imagine you can buy "replacement" parts for a gas grill and mount them in the charcoal grill insert and hook up to the gas (which is like 30 feet away)

Any suggestions on how to get started?

Answer 1

If this is a masonry grill, you may be able to buy parts from a gas stove to use.

  you'll need to drill 1 hole for the gas feed,& 2 for mounting brackets. Depending on which gas-jets you get.

  You will also need to mount a catch plate to protect the gas -jets( you don't want to have to clean them all the time)

GOOD LUCK!
