I have a 42,00 BTU natural gas space heater that I want to put in the basement of my cottage where I have propane as a fuel. What do I need (if anything) to comvert this heater to use propane?

Hello zekester. Welcome to my Gas Appliances forum.

Best advice would be to take the space heater to your local retail appliance parts store. The counter service agent will be best able to determine exactly what parts would be needed.

Some units require several change over parts while others few.
Some require a completely new gas control valve, some only a regulator or a conversion of the existing regulator and a burner orifice.
