Broil King Keg 5000

The double-walled steel design offers excellent heat retention similar to ceramic, but with significantly more durability. It is lighter and won't crack if bumped or dropped, making it a more practical choice if you plan on moving the grill frequently.

Yes, the Keg 5000 is uniquely designed for portability. It features a trailer hitch adapter that allows you to mount it directly to your vehicle, and the heavy-duty wheels make it easy to maneuver once you arrive at your destination.

It uses a dual-damper system—a cast iron upper damper and a cast aluminum Roto-Draft lower damper—that allows for very fine adjustments. Once you dial in your airflow, the insulated body holds that temperature steady for long smoking sessions.

Like any cast iron, the grid requires seasoning to prevent rust and ensure a non-stick surface. If you keep it oiled and clean after each use, it will provide superior heat retention and sear marks that stainless steel simply cannot match.

You have 400 square inches of primary cooking space, plus an additional swing-out warming rack. This is plenty of room to cook for a family or a small group, comfortably fitting several racks of ribs or a large brisket.

Cleanup is quite simple thanks to the removable ash container located at the bottom of the unit. You can easily slide it out to dispose of cooled ashes without having to reach inside the grill or tip it over.
