Natural gas dryer with propane conversion?

I have a dryer that was converted by a propane company to propane use a few years back. I've moved and now have natural gas at my house. From the reading I've done, the concern seems to be using propane with a natural gas dryer, not natural gas with a propane dryer. Can I safely use a propane-enabled clothes dryer with natural gas?

    The burner must be converted to use natural gas instead of propane gas. The reason for this is because there is a difference in the weight of the two gasses. One burns hotter and faster. If it isn't converted, you'll see flames coming out the line when you turn it on.

    No the orifices will have to be changed to burn natural gas.
