No, you cannot directly use LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) on a natural gas BBQ without making modifications. Natural gas appliances operate at a lower pressure than those designed for LPG. To use LPG, you'll need a conversion kit that typically includes new gas jets, a new hose, and often a new regulator. Always consult the manufacturer’s guidelines or a professional before attempting the conversion to ensure safety and proper operation.
