Answer 1

the part you looking for is called orifices and cost about 1-2 a piece depending in model . open the doors and look for model and serial # at the jamb changing them is fairly easy with an adjustable wrench and a s***w driver to adjust the pilot if needed

Answer 2

Some can be and some cannot. If your stove has a regulator on top that you can easily access by raising the top then it is fairly easy. If your stove has sealed burners then nope. Propane is under higher pressure than natural so you have to set the regulator to NAT by removing the nut from it that is marked LP and flipping it over to where it reads nat. Then each burner and oven valve has to be slightly adjusted using a wrench to open each one up just a tad. If you do not do this step then the flame will be real small. If your unit has pilots then they will have to be adjusted too. The gas company should have a dude that can come out and convert it for you.

Answer 3

i would suggest a trained proffessional to tackle this task - the regulator has to be converted as well as the orifices on the pilot, burner - most important, adjustments have to be made as to the flame not being under or overfired - check with your gas utility or appliance companies - model and serial number will be on inner door or on the back of stove on a metal plate - good luck

You will at least need new jets for your stove.  You SHOULD absolutely take the name, model, and every number you can find on it to a dealer that supplys the change out parts.  They can give you exact, safe, complete instructions.  I tried to buy my change out parts from the company that made my stove but they refered me to a local company that supplied service and parts.  Keep warm.
