I've seen a lot of cooktops, some rated to be used with LPG (liquid gas or propane) and others with natural gas. Some companies have 2 models of the same design (one for LPG and one for natural gas).
What is the difference between the two? is it just the connector type or is it a different design of the cooktop burner itself? Is it possible to 'convert' an LPG cooktop to natural gas (and vise versa) or is it a completely different design and there is no point in trying to convert?

Both systems operate at different pressures. Depending on the appliance, there could be different orifices, burners, regulators, and fittings.
Depending on the appliance, a conversion kit may be available from the manufacturer. Though some appliances may not be convertible. Even with a conversion kit, it may be cost prohibitive to convert some appliances.
