How many btu for a barbecue?

The number of BTUs (British thermal units) needed for a barbecue depends on the size and type of grill, as well as the amount of food you plan to cook.

For a small charcoal grill, you will need around 10,000 BTUs. For a larger charcoal grill, you will need around 15,000 BTUs.

For a small gas grill, you will need around 12,000 BTUs. For a larger gas grill, you will need around 18,000 BTUs.

If you plan to cook a lot of food, you may want to choose a grill with a higher BTU rating.

Here is a table that summarizes the BTU requirements for different types of grills:

| Grill Type | BTU Range |

|---|---|

| Small Charcoal Grill | 10,000-12,000 |

| Large Charcoal Grill | 15,000-20,000 |

| Small Gas Grill | 12,000-15,000 |

| Large Gas Grill | 18,000-25,000 |

It is important to note that the BTU rating of a grill is not the only factor to consider when purchasing one. Other factors to consider include the size, weight, portability, and features of the grill.
