This kit has been designed exclusively for Beefeater barbecues and should not be used on other makes or models not specified in the manual. Its function is to enable the conversion from butane/propane gas to natural gas, optimising fuel usage and ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted cooking experience.
The kits available are compatible with the following models:
- Discovery 1000 and 1000R
- Discovery 1100

Easy Installation by Qualified Professionals
To ensure safe and efficient operation, installation of the kit must be performed by a certified gas technician. The conversion involves the replacement of the injectors and the correct adaptation of the combustion system. A mistake in the installation can lead to leaks, loss of efficiency or even safety hazards.
The kit includes the following essential conversion components:
- 5 gas hoods, essential for controlling the flow of natural gas.
- 5 1.70mm injectors, compatible with the main burners of the models indicated.
- 1 1.50mm injector, for side burners on certain models.
- 1 replacement label, to be placed on the barbecue after conversion to indicate the new type of fuel used.
The installation procedure includes the following steps:
- Switch off and disconnect the barbecue from any butane/propane gas source.
- Dismantle the grills, griddles and burners to access the valves.
- Replace the original injectors with the specific ones for natural gas.
- Fit the hoods on the burner tubes.
- Reinstall the barbecue parts and check that they are working properly.
- Carry out leak and pressure tests before using it again.
Each of these steps is detailed in the instruction manual included in the kit.
Greater Comfort and Efficiency
One of the greatest benefits of using natural gas is convenience. Unlike cylinder gas, which requires constant refilling, natural gas provides a continuous flow without interruption. This means you won’t have to worry about running out of gas in the middle of a barbecue or an event with family and friends.
In addition, natural gas is a more economical and efficient option in many regions, which can translate into significant fuel cost savings in the long run.
Another key aspect is its environmental impact. Natural gas is a cleaner fuel compared to butane and propane, reducing the emission of pollutant gases and contributing to a greener barbecue.
Safety in Conversion and Use
The use of natural gas involves taking specific precautions to ensure safe operation. Beefeater has designed this kit to the highest safety standards, but it is essential that users follow the instructions and recommendations to the letter.
Key safety precautions include:
- Professional installation to avoid leaks or conversion problems.
- Conducting a leak test after installation, using a mixture of soap and water to detect bubbles in the connections.
- Regular maintenance to ensure that injectors and valves are working properly.
- Use in ventilated areas, avoiding lighting the barbecue in enclosed spaces without adequate air circulation.
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy a more efficient, durable and safe barbecue.
