I was lucky enough to get a new BBQ as an early birthday present from my mother inlaw. After she watched me almost lose all my eye-brows and half of my hair with the near explosion of my old but trusty propane death trap she decided to get me a new one.
A very nice Kemore 70.000btu with electronic start, propane as we don't have a gas hook up near the rear of the house. My question is, will the new BBQ use more or less propane than my older model? My old BBQ was about 20,000btu, but the venturi grill had been replaced twice and was shooting flames with no control out one side, rendering only 1/4 of the grill useable. It makes sense that the higher the btu would mean a faster consumption but my old bbq (brings a tear to my eye) was gobbling up propane like it was water. oh and i think i aged about 10 years the first time I lit the new BBQ, you never know about the setup, questioning the craftsmanship of company and your own ability to follow direction. not to mention the left over parts!

and the missing diagrams for the wires. but damn, a sweet porclean grill is mega!

cheers

linky to the new one btw.
