Content: The BTU rating is a measurement of how much heat your grill will generate and this rating can be found on the nameplate data on your grill. Typical Grill Nameplate
The nameplate data may state the BTU rating in two different ways - as per burner or as a total rating for the grill. As an example the rating may be 40,000 BTUs total or 20,000 BTU's per burner. ( This becomes particularly confusing when you model incorporates a "dual" burner which is manufactured as a single unit with each side individually controlled by it's own control knob. In this case each side would have a 20,000 BTU rating for a total of 40,000 BTUs.) Typical grills don't exceed 40,000 BTUs, but there are many high-heat exceptions. Orifice Size
The valve orifice fitting is the fitting at the end of the valve which has a small hole drilled into it's center. Most orifice fittings will have their size stamped either on the top or side of the fitting. The orifice size is the actual hole diameter in the orifice fitting. Drill bits although most commonly sold by inch increment size are also available by number.
