Well...that's sort of true. But sort of not. I work for a company
which makes one helluva lot of burners--we make wood, gas, and pellet
stoves and fireplaces.

I promise you that it wouldn't be too hard to design a 30,000 BTU
grill that uses 2 or 3 times as much fuel as, say, a Weber 30,000 BTU
unit. Bad design's easy to do. :\

So, what you said is true if we assume (and that's not necessarily a
good thing to do) that the burners are equally efficient--which of
course is dependent upon their being designed, and made, well.
