Yours looked pretty darned nice. My experience with natural gas stoves
is that it takes the installer about fifteen minutes to convert them to
propane. Some just need a wrench, some come with some small parts to
install and others you have to order a little kit. If I understand
correctly, there are some places where the gas and air get mixed, and
that's a little different depending whether you have natural gas or
propane.

If I won the lottery, and could have anything I wanted, I suspect I
would get *two* cooktops, perhaps one gas and one electric, although I
do prefer gas.
