I was thinking about getting a large propane tank to run my gas logs and also run a line to the kitchen to use my gas stove. I was told that to be able to use my stove with propane instead of natual gas that I would have to change the jets. Is this a big job and is it expensive? Or should I just scrap the idea of doing this and continue to use the electric stove which we really don't like? I could use some pros and cons on this idea.

I'm converting my RGA520 Hotpoint gas stove from natural gas to propane. It has a regulator in the stove which I flip from natural gas to propane. Do I need to have an additional regular coming from the propane tank to the gas stove or will the regulator that's already in the stove suffice?

Why won't my propane gas dryer ignite?

I recently converted my brand new gas dryer from natural gas to propane. I'm looking to run out of a 20 lbs propane tank. I'm using the same regulators as my propane gas grill. Did all the connections according to the manual, but now it won't fire. Yes, it's plugged into power, it spins, but no fire on the gas burner...WHY??? What am I missing. (to see if it was lighting or not I left the bottom opened). I tested all connection on my gas grill and it worked, but in the dryer it won't. This is a Maytag performance series we're talking about.
What's the propane pressure? Isn't it 1/2 psi? Isn't it the pressure required for gas grill? Do I need to leave the dryer plugged in for a while before starting it? Because all I did was plug it in and hit start. It's a brand new Dryer I can't believe it could be defective, it was never used before. Is the igniter visible? Do i check it while the dryer is running?

Is propane for home heating more or less expensive than natural gas?

I recently looked at buying a home a little bit outside of town. Homes in this area are out of the service area of our natural gas provider, so the homes have a 1,000 gallon propane tank buried in the yard. The propane tank gets topped up monthly as part of a service. My question is.... Is propane for home hot water and heating (and cooking) much more expensive.... roughly about the same.....or much less expensive...than natural gas. I am unfamiliar with propane used this way; should I be concerned?
