Answer:
BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is an amount of energy. kW, or kiloWatt, is an amount of power, which is a measure of how fast energy is used or produced, similar to horsepower.
Converting BTU to kW is like converting miles per hour to feet: they are not the same type of unit.
That said, 80,000 BTU is equal to 23.44 kWh, or kiloWatt hours.
At 1000 watts, or about ten light blubs, it would take 23.4 hours to use 80,000 BTU of energy.
A typical car using 100 horsepower would take about 20 minutes to burn 80,000 BTU worth of gasoline.
