A supplier may tell you your stove cannot be converted from one to the other. He will gladly sell you a new unit. I bought a Kenmore stove in 1971 for LP. This model simply needed to have the two pressure adjustment valves reversed when I moved to a city gas area . I moved my LP gas dryer to a city gas area. The gas dealer told me I just needed a smaller orifice fitting but he could make my fitting hole smaller. When I asked how what looks like a 1/4" pipe cap with a .040" hole into a cap with a .025" hole, he put a small carraige bolt into the cap and took a ball peen hammer to slowly thin out the cap end, making the hole too small. He then got a presion reamer to reopen the hole to proper specs for the BTUs of my dryer

In 2009 a dealer tried to tell me there was no parts for an old LP stove I had but he would sell me a new unit. Same for a $3000 furnace. An older repairman took one look at the stove, pulled the top up a little, jerked the top off and then took a quarter dollar coin to reverse built-in valves to city gas. He also fixed my furnace for $450. Total savings: ~ $3500.
