1953 Rayburn conversion solid fuel to bottled gas

Hello - I am new to this newsgroup and hope that someone might have a little bit of information to make hubby happy. We have just got hold of a 1953 Rayburn in original condition - but it is solid fuel. Hubby being a clever old stick and an a spark reckons he can convert to bottled gas. We don't want it oil like our central heating and there are quite a few places that sell oil kits - but we want to convert to bottled gas. Does anyone on here know of any kits or literature. I have found Twyfords do it for you or sell kits to Corgi registered engineers. Any help would be good.Many thanks indeed.Inger

Thanks for everyone's help....comments/observations. Have come to the conclusion that we will convert the Rayburn to oil. Apparently there are two kits available, one automatic that is noisey and one manual that is quiet. We shall have the manual one and only put Rayburn on when we want the kitchen hot and cosy in the winter - else we will resort to normal cooker and central heating. Its just a social thing really. Think bottle gas is a no no. But again thanks everyone for all your time. Regards Inger
