    With all due respect to Rio, I tried using a plummer when I first
    decided to convert to natural gas.  The first thing they wanted to
    know was "how many BTU's do you need?"  No one at Rio or Smith or
    the gas company could answer this. So we put it in and it worked.
    Had a friend who tried with a plummer and also had problems. My
    husband finally bought my friend the parts (having learned from my
    project) and then her plummer installed them.  With no disrespect to
    plummers, a very good plummer did my second installation as part of
    a home renovation.  We explained what we wanted, he recommended the
    larger pipe (3/4" instead of the 1/2"), and everything works
    perfectly. Note:  Before I started using the natural gas set up my
    husband installed, we had the gas company come out and they checked
    the system out for free.  Said my husband did a good job and it was
    safe to use.  Course by this time I had talked to the gas company
    tech staff a dozen times or so ---they had a vested interest in
    getting me off their case.  But I would recommend using the gas
    company as a resource if anyone tackles this job by themselves.
