old CI stove
- Thread starter JustinR
- Start date
If the stove is plumbed for gas, then you can use either propane or natural gas.

I dont have a stove/oven in an up north(its a michigan thing) cabin so I was thinking I would put one of these in instead. Cabin currently has propane in it. Im kinda just using this as a reason to restore a CI stove......

That is a good deal. If I lived closer I would be on my way to pick it up.
Nope. Different orifices required

I ordered a Griswold stove off ebay and it arrived all busted up. I got a refund and was able to keep the busted stove for parts. I found this one a couple of weeks ago, it is one of my projects. I found an old newspaper ad from 1945 selling them "ration free".

Really? My neighbor took his gas BBQ and cut the regulator off and put the hose on a natural gas line he had piped out to his porch. Worked for him. The natural gas is regulated by the meter where the supply comes in. I know on a dryer you have to do this but I thought a stove didn't need it.
Justin, you better go get that stove. It's a great deal and if you don't get it, I'll be temped to ask about shipping . . .

My experience with the Griswold hot plates that I restored was that Griswold used orfaces that are adjustable. I did not have to replace them.
I was fighting the wind that day.
If you are not sure, best to have your gas man look at it.

Until you posted that picture, I didn't think I wanted one. That is gorgeous!

High temp paint. I am sure that it will burn off around the flame. I am fine with that.

I have a single, but if I had to chose it would be a double burner. That way you can get yourself a 2 burner griddle and go big time.
I am looking for a nice 3 burner.:shootself:

Just a little bit of work.
Orifices or air shutters? I haven't restored many, but none had adjustable orifices. I didn't replace the orifices, but I did have to adjust the air shutters.

Mark H is right, for natural gas the orifices are bigger.lp regulators are set up for 10 psi or higher. Natural gas runs on 4 psi.

Most CI stoves, if not all, are set up for propane. The orifices can be drilled out for natural gas. In either case the air intake is to be adjusted to create a blue flame, not like the yellow flame shown here. Just like a gas stove in a kitchen.

Like I wrote, I was fighting the wind that day. To much air yellow flame.

Kitchen stoves can easily be converted back and forth between natural gas and propane by replacing the jets in the burners and a fitting in the regulator. The problem is finding the correct parts for the initial conversion.
