The grilling industry has an arms race of ever-higher BTU numbers — but experienced grillers know that heat control matters more than maximum heat. A restaurant-quality steak needs 600-700°F surface temperature for searing, which even a 35,000 BTU grill achieves. The extra 25,000 BTU on expensive grills mostly goes to waste. Spend the savings on better meat instead.
