BTUs
A British thermal unit is the amount of energy required to heat a pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. This can vary slightly depending on the temperature of the water, therefore different estimates for the BTU exist. The International Standards Organization defines a BTU as 1055.056 joules.
