I have a propane gas burner which I tried to convert to natural gas uses from the house. I drilled the orifice to 0.0605" for using the natural gas output. Some how it doesn't work. The flame is so small and like it is disappear. Is it I am lacking the oxygen? If so, how do I get more oxygen to have a stronger flame. This unit is use outside so I am not worry about Carbon dioxide. Please help.

if the burner worked before, it is not a lack of oxygen. natural gas is very low pressure, make the orifice bigger

you do not point out what area you reside in. gasoline and oil selection so some years are winners or losers counting on which area of the fence you're on. you in addition to would did not point out the age or performance of you gasoline heater. gasoline has fewer shifting areas and would generally continuously run at a a ways better performance than oil, with much less upkeep. i'd would desire to have faith you will additionally require a superb form of oil to warmth on your season. (suitable maintained, oil warmth would desire to haven't any scent nor bypass away any residue on your place.) i think of the superb use of you funds would be extra attic insulation, perchance a window improve (thermal form)and then insulate your partitions if not already executed so. (With the heating invoice you describe i'm able to purely surmise you're perchance in New England in an older homestead with little insulation?)
