Broil King Keg 5000

Unlike heavy ceramic kamados that are prone to cracking if dropped, the Keg 5000 features double-walled steel construction. This makes it significantly more durable and portable while still providing the excellent heat retention and insulation required for kamado-style cooking.

Yes, the grill is designed for versatility. The Roto-Draft dampers allow you to precisely control airflow, making it easy to maintain low temperatures for smoking or open the vents fully to reach the high heat needed for searing steaks.

The Keg 5000 is designed to be trailer-hitch compatible, allowing you to attach it to a standard 2-inch receiver on your vehicle for transport. Please note that you will need to purchase the specific hitch mount accessory separately to utilize this feature.

The primary cast iron grid provides a solid base, and the included secondary chrome-coated rack nearly doubles your total cooking surface to 760 square inches. This extra space is ideal for smoking multiple cuts of meat or cooking sides alongside your main dish.

While the Keg 5000 is primarily designed as a freestanding unit, its durable steel construction and manageable footprint allow it to be integrated into custom outdoor kitchen islands. Just ensure your island design accounts for the necessary airflow around the dampers and allows access to the ash container.

The unit features a removable steel ash container located at the bottom. This makes cleanup straightforward—simply slide the container out once the grill has fully cooled to dispose of the spent charcoal.
