3 burner makes it easier to do stuff like smoking meats or for indirect cooking. With 3 burners you can run 1 burner and still have more than half the grill for indirect cooking or smoking.

A couple Xmas' ago I slow cooked a prime rib on the bbq with 1 burner going - it was bloody amazing. Next time I'm gonna put a bit of wood in there to give some smokiness.

Also makes it easier to manage the heat in your box - if I've got something that drips a lot but I need the heat I turn down the burner underneath the drippy stuff and keep the other 2 burners cranked.
