“What are the BTUs when this unit is converted to LP Gas I asked this once and the question/answer was not posted. I understand there is a loss when converting and have read it is about 30% which is still better than the LG stove I plan to return”

Hello, Thank you for your interest in the GE Freestanding Double Oven Gas Range model JGB850SEFSS. Yes, Using LP (liquid propane) gas instead of natural will lower the BTU* output, thus slowing the cooking process. The main reason is simply when converting to LP gas from Natural gas you use a reduced size orifice. LP is a heavier fuel to combust, and the reduced orifices are used in order to prevent large flames and soot issues. As a result, BTU rating does decrease noticeably on the larger burners but is not as noticeable on the smaller burners. POWER / RATINGS Bake/Broiler BTU Rating - LP (000's BTU's) 10.0 / 10.0 - Upper; 13.5 / 0.0 - Lower Top Burner BTU Rating - LP (000's BTU's) (1) 11.0; (1) 9.1; (1) 9.5; (1) 5.0; (1) 6.0 Donna with GE
