Eight 14,500 BTU burners covered by porcelain coated steel heat tenets should provide adequate heat, but some users report poor high temp performance and problems with the burners blowing out.

These Event Grills are often purchased for various club, company and church events, where they may be used by a variety of cooks who may or may not take very good care of them. As they are not built for heavy use, they are ironically not constructed to withstand the rigors of events, unless these events are infrequent, in good weather, and the grill is afforded at least minimal care and maintenance.
