Hi:S.Faux
Coverting to Liquid Propane from natural gas I would suggest you purchase the conversion kit.
Write down the make, model and serial number of the stove and take this information to a local retail appliance parts store. Buy the full conversion kit and follow all the directions.
Without knowing the above information plus the manufacturing year of this appliance, it would be difficult to say exactly.
However, I can tell you that every gas orfice will need to be reduced in output size and the appliance regulator will need to be converted or replaced.
A conversion, done correctly, will vary by appliance age. Newer models come with convertible regulators. Very old stoves have no regulator and the rest will need need to have the current one replaced with an L.P. regulator.
Good Luck,
