Does Anyone Here Do Neon (It's Enclosed In Glass!)?

Well, the Subject line says it all, at least for now.
Actually, I need to know what size drill to use to open up a LP screen on my
ribbon burner for use with Natural Gas.
Since LP contains roughly 2.4 times the energy per
cubic foot as natural gas, the area of the orifice for
natural gas would need to be 2.4 times the one for LP
given the same pressure. Possibly (probably?) you won't
have the same pressure, but since I have almost no
experience with Natural gas, I wouldn't stake anything
on that.
I'm not sure what you mean by "screen" but if it's
as I'm envisioning, I think you want to open (or
preferably change) the jet rather than the screen.
About the only experience I have with changing a gas
orifice size is this (which doesn't really apply to
your situation, but being as it's essentially the same
thing as a ribbon burner, might be of interest
nonetheless):

Jeez, this ng has been kinda dead for the past few weeks. Look what
happens when one guy retires...
You might want to ping Neon John in
alt.energy.homepower to drop by here for a better
answer.
