Coyote LP-to-NG Conversion for Gen-2 C-Series and S-Series (34-42 in)
The Gen-2 conversion kit swaps orifices and regulator to convert a propane Coyote to natural gas (or back). Install is about an hour. The gotcha isn't the parts — it's confirming your model is actually Gen-2 before you start.

What you need
- Open-end wrench set
- Soap-and-water leak test
- Manometer (verify NG supply pressure before converting)
Step by step
Confirm Gen-2 compatibility
The kit fits 34-42 in C-Series and S-Series grills manufactured as Gen-2. The serial-plate on the left front leg shows the generation marker. If you're on Gen-1, order the Gen-1 kit — the orifices are different.
Shut off gas at the source and bleed the line
Open the grill valves briefly after shutoff to bleed residual pressure.
Swap the burner orifices
Each tube burner has a brass orifice at its inlet. Unscrew, swap for the NG orifice from the kit. LP orifices are stamped for LP; NG for NG. Mixing them is a fire hazard.
Swap the regulator
The LP regulator comes off; the NG regulator (ships in the kit) installs in its place. Use thread sealant rated for gas, not plumber's tape.
Leak test every joint
Open gas at the source, open the grill valve 10%, spray every joint with soap-and-water. Any bubble = redo.
First light + flame check
Blue, even flames across every burner confirm the conversion. Yellow or uneven = orifice issue, inlet pressure wrong, or a joint still leaking.
Common mistakes
- Converting without confirming NG supply pressure. If the house supply is too low (poorly sized line), the grill will run anemic. Measure first, convert second.
- Installing the LP regulator on an NG supply. Pressure mismatch, bad flames, potential danger. Match regulator to supply exactly.
Hands-on tips
- Keep the original LP parts in a labeled bag taped to the inside of the enclosure door. Reversing the conversion later is painless with them on hand.
- After conversion, update the CO alarm batteries in your outdoor kitchen. NG combustion byproducts are different from LP.
Questions people ask
Does Coyote void the warranty if I DIY the conversion?
Using the official Gen-2 kit per the manual: warranty intact. Using aftermarket orifices or skipping the leak test: warranty void.
Can I convert back to LP later?
Yes — save the original parts. The process reverses in another hour.
Is there a kit for C3HY50 hybrid?
Different kit. The hybrid gas side converts separately. Contact Customer Support for the hybrid-specific kit.
