I going to guess this isn't a legit BBQ store but a place that sells lots of out door stuff so they don't really specialize in any of their products.At least I would hope so because that's the only way I can explain poor service like that without any back up. might be better off emailing the manufacturer about it all.
My natural gas BBQ wont get hot.

When i changed my BBQ to natural gas I needed to buy a new regulator. Me thinks your regulator is for bottled gas. I will see what info I can get for the regulator I am now using. Other than that the only other thing I can see being a problem is a blocked/semi blocked line.

Everdure are a slightly more boutique brand.....I knw Harvey Norman stock them. Still, they're not a BBQ joint.

Purchased the bbq from a outdoor style store so maybe they havent changed the reg just the jets .When i get home tonite i will go through my check list ive made from the tips on here and hopefuly its all good .
The reg maywell be the culprit ,heres hoping.

Here's hoping the store gives you one for free without any BS.
Of it is the regulator they did half the job.
Good luck.

If the guys at the store did the conversion they may not actually be qualified to do such a task. At The shop I install for the sales guy was having a go at it himself..... I told him to stop it, just because you sell the product doesn't make you qualified to work on it. Problem is also lot of plumbers have no idea how to do this kind of task, hence why I make a good living specialising in gasfitting.

It's not hard to do but you need to have the tickets saying you can do it that's for sure.

On a bbq no it's not that hard to do but the amount of times I've seen it done wrong is staggering. Gas cooktops bring out the worst offenders, the instructions get thrown away and I'll find the wrong size jets in the wrong burner on 4 out of 6 of them. Or old mate will have a to at drilling the jets rather than buy the proper ones.....
I did a job recently where an old lady had a NG cooktop running on LPG, had been like that for 3 years. "Im always burning things" she said. The flame coming off the smallest burner would rival any commercial wok burner in a Thai restaurant. Installed by plumber!

Yep I've done a few of them as well but a lot more BBQ's that haven't been converted at all. People don't realize that LPG has over twice the heat value of Natural. For some reason they think gas is gas so they think they can get away with it.

Ok put some photos up .Is the injecter the brass jet that the gas comes from inside the bbq?because it says that they should be 1.8 mm ,i didnt measure them but i dont believe they were that large .I also tried to adjust the hex head bolts at the jets and it made no difference.In the pick of the reg can any one tell if its a natural gas reg ?

Would help to see the label or model of the reg.
There should be a test point downstream of the reg to check the pressure of the gas and adjust the reg to suit. On the other side of the reg is a threaded round screw with a back nut. With a manometer attached to the test point you do the back nut and then wind that screw in or out to adjust the pressure to the 0.9kpa required as shown on the appliance placard.
By the sounds of it you don't have the correct 1.8mm jets. They are easy to change with a small socket set.
Otherwise call a reliable plumber you know..... What area are you in?
