How well a grill works is not just a measure of BTU. THe Genesis does alot
more with alot less because it's efficient.

Kinda what I thought. My son-in-law thinks you need 48,000 btu or more to
grill properly. But he usually cooks for a crowd. Me, I usually cook for my
wife and I and lots of times with a couple of friends. Every now and then
the whole family but that's mostly just burgers, hot dogs and the like...

thanks for your input.
