BTUs of Masterbuilt Propane Grill: Does anyone have any info on the BTUs of this grill?

R. Majewski asked about the BTU rating of this unit. I too would like to know the BTU rating before I buy, but in addition I would like to know what type of burner is installed. Is it cast iron or stainless steel. We live on a salt water canal in Florida and cast iron burners rust out rather quickly because of the high humidity.

The hose has adequate capacity for the BTUs generated by your Weber, but you may need to get an adapter to attach to your grill. I had an older model Weber, and the fitting for attaching the hose to the manifold was smaller than the one that comes with the Mr. Heater hose. I was adapting a gas fireplace to natural gas, so I did not look for adapters for the Weber. However, I did find a good selection of gas fittings at Home Depot. The hose comes with a quick disconnect at the source, which automatically shuts off the supply line gas when disconnected, but you will need to install a manual shutoff valve at the source as well, if you do not already have one. Good luck on your project. The hose has adequate capacity for the BTUs generated by your Weber, but you may need to get an adapter to attach to your grill.

Per the product guide, this grill cannot be converted. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/D1RFC6DJ5MS.pdf Honestly, you could probably send natural gas to it and get it to ignite - it just won't get to 48,000 btus as they claim with propane. My dad has been running natural gas through LP grills for years and never had problems with temperature or ignition. But if you want to be on the safe side, I suggest you find a grill for which they sell a conversion kit.

I do not know the BTU's but The heater is working just fine and doing a good job for me.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I would search for the Grill Daddy website and look there for the answer. I do love this product!

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!

I doubt you'll find someone who has used both on the same model grill. If the BTU output is the same, the cooking should be the same. I suspect that Weber changes the orifices to match the fuel. Nat gas might have more consistent pressure than propane, as the propane pressure does seem to decrease when the tank is almost empty.

David:I exchanged my 10,000 BTU/hr for a 30,000 BTU/hr. Its dimensions are W= 23.5", H= 26", D = 19". The 10,000 BTU/hr is narrower: I have 24 slot is in the vent and the 10,000 BTU/hr has 14 and the grill has 5 wires, mine has 7... The manuals don't have the dimensions...

Who knows ?: BTU per cubic feet of habitation. Minus loss of BTUs due to poor insulation opening doors, etc.Calculate the heat loss to temperature differential. How many BTUs are there in a 4 gallon tank of propane ? A fellow I knew claimed that he used one tank per month in Monterey, CA harbor for a floating 10 foot by 20 foot trailer barge on a cook top burner. But I don't think that that would apply to a Ice Fishing Shack in Minnesota. The REAL issue is: DO NOT bring a small tank into the house... BOOM.... In an open garage (well vented) a radiant space heater ($30.00) on a tank would do better as long as you stay put. Who knows ?: BTU per cubic feet of habitation.

60,000 btus, 30,000 for each of two burners. Really a top quality product, and a very HOT stove. If you purchase one, do also get the flame diffuser plates for each burner. Otherwise, the flame will be very concentrated and very hot. I really enjoy cooking on my Camp Chef, and would recommend it very highly.

IF you find the spec sheet it will tell you the maximum BTU per appliance and the maximum total. As I recall, the max appliance is 90,000 BTU and the total was 200,000 BTU. I don't know why the single appliance limit was so much less than the total. Doesn't make sense. You can download the spec sheet (I didn't save the link).

High/1500, Low/750. BTU: High/1500, Low/2561 I found these specs by googling the writing on the shipping box (luckily/lazily the heater that I ordered is still sitting inside of the box in by utility room).

Don't know btu's and not familiar with the unit referred to, but it is a good burner.

Natural gas has less BTU's than Propane, so you would need to change the oriface on the propane burner to larger, usually HomeDepot or Lowes can help with that

Sorry, I am not familiar with the Propane Unit. I can tell you that it tightly fits the regular Masterbuilt. It is really too tight and too long. But it is very heavy, so I use it. The others would not survive outside.

At 80k-150k BTUs, your wok will potentially buckle and is also very dangerous, according to this interview with Grace Young on NPR (at about 4:30): http://www.graceyoung.com/2010/09/cooking-with-kian/
