How much BTU
Looking for a new grill, and I know the more btu the better, but what is the
lower limit that will still give good searing and marks. Specifically looking at Vermont Castings with 400 sq primary cooking space @ 36,000 BTU and Webber Genesis Silver C with 424 sq in primary cook space at the same 3600 BTU They both seem like good sturdy grills, but I'm a little concerned that they my be under powered. TIA Jimbo

Buy the one that has the features that are important to you. Both are good grills.

How well a grill works is not just a measure of BTU. THe Genesis does alot
more with alot less because it's efficient. Larry "Person" wrote in message ink.net...

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. Jimbo
