What size grill should I have for a 25-person cookout?

Question

I'm having a cookout this weekend for about 25-30 people. Just burgers and dogs are going on the grill. How big a grill should I have. Would a couple smaller propane grills work or should I rent one of the big'uns?

Answer 1

Burgers and dogs grill pretty quickly.    I just did a 22 person party this weekend and I had everybody fed within 10 minutes.   We just fed the kids on the 1st run and 10 minutes later the 2nd batch was done.   I have a medium size gas grill

If you cooked all of the dogs first, you can feed everybody on the 1st pass and then throw the burgers on.
