Many small grill do not produce enough heat. Does this grill get hot enough; how many BTUs

This grill will get hot enough for anything. I grill 1 inch or thicker steaks on medium setting. Salmon on low. Not sure of BTU's,It has a cast iron smoker plate right above the burner.

Ummm..sorry< I don't grill in BTU's . Can't answer that part. If you keep the lid down and let it cook, It is similar to baking in an oven..a potato bakes in an hour. If you grill with the lid open, you have to just watch your meat and time it. For instance I do pork chops or foil meals..and I can always time it correctly if I just watch the thermometer.

I don't know how many BTUs but it is certainly plenty hot for any kind of BBQng I've done.

My husband says it gets plenty hot. Hot enough for a good steak. Has no idea of how may BTUs.

We had one that got old so we were excited to find two for sale on Amazon (one for home and one for our RV). It cooks perfectly; no probable with enough heat. Don't know what BTU's it has, but might be in the product description. I can tell you we love this grill and use both a lot. Never have a problem with either one. Highly recomment you buy one.

Not sure how many BTU's it has but I assure you it gets really hot if you turn the gas all the way on. We use a regular propane tank with ours but it works well with the small Coleman type tanks too. We grill steaks or anything else we want with no problem and everything we cook has an excellent grilled flavor.

We had this same grill years ago and it worked just fine. This one works ok, but doesn't seem to get as hot as the old one did. Perhaps it is our gas cannister, but maybe not. All in all, it works fine in our RV as the size is right for the storage area capacity we have. We are not where our rig is stored so cannot answer the BTU question.

hi lyI have the two burner and it really is a nice grill after I got use to it... it has quirks. For a two person household two burner is adequate but a third burner really heats up faster and will cook a bit hotter. Both good selections.

I did not have on long enough to find out it did not hardly heat up. The gas did not get hot the heat comes up the back. I sent back no good.

The heat comes from your bbq. Just keep it on low. I love my smoke meister Check YouTube. You will find videos there

While I can't tell you the BTUs, I can tell you they are hot enough to fry a turkey on one burner and still cook on the other two. The biggest issue I had was getting them turned down enough, making it hard to reheat leftovers. One other tip, if you buy the stove. I used 1/4" plywood to skirt three sides, screwing it directly into the legs. It makes it much more stable and less prone to problems with wind. Without the skirt it's a little more wobbly than I like, particularly with a large pot of boiling oil.

Have not tried using it with a a BBQ grill, but it should work. The only reservation is whether a 'small' BBQ grill will generate enough heat. I do know that it works great with a real fire.

You can't really solve it. The heat is a byproduct of the amplifier. You can search here for USB powered fans that will sit on top of the unit and add additional cooling that work nicely and plug right into the USB port on the front for around 15$. In a properly vented area, without a fan, the heat isn't burning. It's more along the lines of a heating pad on low, or medium after prolonged use. Its only when the unit isn't vented properly that the heat gets to the higher temps of say "high" on a heating pad, or hotter, but even then chances are it won't get hot enough to burn skin unless you hold your hand on it, for an adult at least younger kids might not feel the same. Its worth mentioning that with proper ventilation this unit is fine, after all it wasn't designed to be a grill, it's only through neglect that the heat becomes an issue and even then the receiver will likely break from the heat before it becomes a safety hazard.

The Char Broil infared does not get hot enough (really disappointed) to harm anything underneath. The same goes for my Char Broil gas fired 2 burned grill-----NOT TRUE INFARED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same as other propane grills with single valve. Low, medium and high or variations there of. Mine was too hot. I've resized the jet 1/1000in. smaller and will drop that same amount again.

They get big enough to heat to 650-700 degrees F. if blasted. They burn under metal upside down V-shaped covers, so they do not directly burn the grill/meat.

The key to getting this grill hot, is air flow. Make sure you are not blocking the bottom air holes with e charcoal, and also make sure you keep the ash dump clear and open before each use. If you have the top and bottom vents open fully you should be able to get this grill above 600 easy!

Very good grill. It should get to 450 in about 5 minutes with the lid closed. A few things to check:1) are you using small 1lb bottles or large tank? If large tank, make sure you turn the valve on very slowly. 2) Check the burner flame, you might have spiders in the burner that need to be brushed out with a burner brush like this http://www.firecraft.com/product/brushtech-gas-bbq-burner-tube-cleaner/grill-brushes-cleaning3) If need be you can replace the burner or regulator.

That is a great question. I just turned it on for about a minute and the black grills heat quickly to the touch but the silver metal sides were drastically cooler. I never took my hand off it and stayed cool. I've had it for a couple of years and really do like how good it works. Can't go wrong.

I love this grill! It does not have an igniter. I use the charcoal chimney.

Not sure but it does get hot quickly and enough to grill. I prefer this one over the granite stone and cast iron plate models for this reason.

Neither on mine. The burners get luke-warm, not enough to cook anything. It's in the garage going to Goodwill. Wish I had better news for you.

I can NEVER get this above 350, as it has a measly 26000 BTU. I am disappointed and am actively looking for a new grill. UPDATE: I did some research and determined that the flow regulator was the issue. After disconnecting, reconnecting, then lighting the grill the right way, I now get it up to 550. The "right way" means (after disconnecting the tank, then reconnecting) is to make sure the front control knobs are OFF. Then turn on tank. Then turn on on control knob and light. When done, turn off control knobs before turning off the tank.
