Folks,

Be VERY careful in comparing BTU's on a grill.

For example, the DCS grill is 'only' 18,000 BTU, but that is across a
grill that is approximately 12x24 inches.

That is 288 square inches.

And that is 62.5 BTU per square inch (12x24=288, then 18,000/288=62.5)

What counts is not total BTU, but BTU per square inch..
