This product will work with either natural gas or propane. However, it is designed to be set up and stay in one or the other. It comes set up for propane and requires modification to be used with natural gas. If you modify it for natural gas, it must be re-modified to switch it back to propane if you later choose to use propane. It is designed to be in a "permanent" installation, not as a "portable". Note that a "professional" is recommended to accomplish the change and set up of the heater.There is no easy way to allow you to switch gas supply from one or the other for use depending on which is available when you need to use this appliance. For example, a dual fuel power generator allows you to easily select the desired fuel depending on the fuel preference available at the time of use. Changing fuel types is not easy with this appliance. Thus, in my opinion, it is not a true dual fuel appliance.Please also note that the Mr. Heater brand makes similar units that will operate from only one fuel, either propane or natural gas. These are available at lower cost. If you know your available fuel source ahead of time, simply order the appropriate model and save some money. This might be more appropriate to keep in stock by a contractor, someone that services different locations and doesn't know which he might need to keep on hand for various customers.It does have a location to mount an optional blower fan to help circulate the heat. The fan mounts on the back (not shown in the pictures). So if a fan is used, it would not be able to use the wall mount option. The fan, of course, requires an electricity source, but the heater does not. The mounting location for the fan appears to be a "knockout" type, that must be punched out for mounting to mount the fan. I did not attempt to mount a fan, so I do not know how easy it is to install.The box was very beat up when received, but the unit appears to be intact and nothing appears to be obviously missing. There is no detailed list of what should be in the box. The screws provided are not identified as to their individual purpose.I am returning it since it does not meet my needs for a dual fuel appliance. Otherwise, it appears to be a well built unit. I did not use the unit so I cannot comment on actual function.

Nice Heater. It would have been nice if they added a 79 cent handle to pick it up. I added a brass elbow and a Q.D. (Quick Disconnect). I also had to buy a propane regulator and hose for it. All in all, I think if you’re looking for a portable (emergency use) heat source, this will do. Remember size it to your room. I believe the instructions say allow a minimum 50 cu. ft. / 1,000 BTU’s

When I received my heater the box was torn up everywhere, and after spending $500 to install it the heater did not work. I know there good heaters because I have another one at our hunting camp so I reordered this one and hopefully it will work!

Climate change has caused many power outages throughout the U.S. It’s nice to have a back up heater just in case the power goes out. This burns on both types of gas & is vent free-burns 99.99% efficient. Buy one, you won’t be disappointed.
