Can I convert my natural gas glo-warm wall heater to propane?

glo-warm doesnt sell a conversion kit since they have propane version they sell the propane unit --their are universal conversion kits but you would need to check if their compatible to the glo warm unit

ensure that is set for natural gas.

So the answer is No!

You probably could convert it - if the parts are available. Natural gas has a relatively low calorific value and so a different jet will be needed and probably a different mixing chamber. You should contact the manufacturer.

Before you attempt to covert to lp. You need to check the flue. Black smoke is cause by incomplete combustion. So it may be now plug with black soot. Heat-exchanger may be damage Before you invest in a lp kit. Make sure it is worth it. To convert you need the main burner orifices and lp spring for gas value. Once you replace these parts you must adjust gas pressure, nat gas is measured at 3.2 - 3.5wc lp is measured 10.5 - 11.00 wc. In my honest opinion this is to dangerous for customer to attempt. Please a HVAC contractor inspect unit and install lp kit.

I'm sure you can, contact the manufacturer and ask if they have a natural gas jet or orfice for your model heater, these are usually very easy to replace.

Yes it is possible and a good idea. You need to have a regulator installed to reduce the pressure to the heater and this is a simple procedure. Contact your local Propane distributor and they will probably do this free to get your business.

All gas heaters can be converted from one type of gas to another, be it natural or propane. The problem is getting the orifice retrofit parts that fit that particular brand. If the manufacturer doesn't make them, then you are left with no choice.
