I thought about doing the same thing, but when I was told the
conversion price was over a hundred dollars, I simply bought a new
grill.

And, having kept the old one, I think I'm way better off. It's a lot
easier to cook for a large group with two grills-- since different
foods require different temperatures.

Steaks on one, fish on the other. Or vegetables (grilled corn on the
cob is wonderful but takes up a lot of room).

By the way, here's my recipe for grilled corn:

Soak the corn (in the husks) in water for at least a half hour.

Put one on the grill (on high). Two minutes later, put all the others
on.

When the first one catches fire, the rest are ready. Let them cool a
bit before taking the husks off (and the silk comes right off).

Excellent

If the model number is longer than just VM400, the end of it might say
whether it is NG or propane, so be prepared. I forget if you know the
full model number of the NG version, but you can either find it, or
see the system they use by looking at current pairs of models.
