Broil King Keg 5000

The Keg 5000 uses double-walled insulated steel rather than ceramic. This makes it significantly lighter and more durable for transport, meaning you don't have to worry about the cracking or fragility often associated with ceramic cookers.

Yes, it is designed with mobility in mind. The stand is sturdy, and because it is made of steel rather than heavy ceramic, it is much easier to move around your patio or load into a vehicle. There is even an optional trailer hitch mount available for serious tailgaters.

It features a dual-damper system—one on the lid and one on the bottom—that allows you to dial in airflow with high precision. Once you set the dampers, the insulated steel body holds heat remarkably well, making it easy to maintain steady temperatures for long smokes or high-heat sears.

The primary cooking area is 280 square inches. It comes with an extender rack, which increases your total capacity significantly if you are cooking for a larger group.

Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the integrated ash removal system. It features a removable tray that catches the ash, allowing you to slide it out and empty it without needing to scoop debris out from the bottom of the grill.

Like any cast iron, you will need to keep it seasoned to prevent rust and ensure a non-stick surface. After cooking, brush it clean and apply a light coat of oil before storing it.
