Weber's have never had high BTU's as part of their 'lower and slower is better' philosophy. Far too many people crank dials to "high" on all burners and toss meat on, only to pull off the food off just before incineration occurs. (a.k.a. my inlaws). This is Weber's way of reducing that.

To make up for that, some of the higher end Weber models have a separate 'sear station' burner in the main body of the BBQ that really works great. I find it works a lot better to have this in the main body of the BBQ, vs on a side 'sizzle zone' on the Napoleons.

Not to diss the Napoleons though - they are great BBQ's too - just different.
