About this item

  • DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY AND PERFORMANCE - the Keg features an insulated double-walled steel grill body that retains heat and moisture more efficiently than ceramic grills, won't absorb moisture and odors like ceramic, and will not crack like ceramic can
  • COOK MORE, USE LESS CHARCOAL - with its insulated steel design, cast iron top damper, aluminum lower damper, and heavy duty gasket, the Keg uses up to 2X less charcoal than a typical charcoal grill/smoker, so you can spend more on food and less on fuel
  • QUICK & EASY CLEAN UP - a removable steel ash catcher makes it quick and easy to clean out excess ash from your grill; unlike most kamado grills that require you to scrape them out, the tray keeps the ash contained so it doesn't end up all over your deck
  • PACKED WITH EXTRAS - unlike many kamado grills the Keg 5000 comes out of the box with accessories that make it more functional: chrome swing-away secondary rack, detachable resin side shelves, mobility cart, and multi-tool are all included with this grill
  • BUILT TO LAST - with a 10-year warranty on the grill body and a 2-year warranty on the remaining parts and paint, you can be confident that your Keg will be ready for years of cookouts and delicious, savory, smoky BBQ meals with your whole family

Product Description

Expand your grilling experience and enjoy authentic barbecue flavor with the Broil King Keg 5000. With a classic Kamado-style design, the Keg 5000 is designed to retain heat and moisture ensuring delicious and flavorful food every time. Unlike most Kamado-style grills that are made from ceramic, the Keg 5000 features an insulated steel grill body design that offers superior heat and moisture retention and unmatched durability. The Keg features Roto-Draft dampers (cast iron on top, aluminum on bottom) to precisely control the airflow through the grill, allowing you to get to the perfect smoking or grilling temperature. The dampers feature metered markings that make it easier for you to remember your damper settings, allowing you to repeat your grilling successes over and over again. A cast iron primary cooking grid that provides 280 sq. in. of cooking space, along with a 200 sq. in. swing-out chrome secondary rack provide you with plenty of space to prepare all of your favorites at your next cookout. Extra features include 2 removable resin side shelves, a versatile multi-tool to help you adjust and clean your grill, twin bottle openers on the lid handle, and a removable wheeled base that is trailer hitch-adaptable.

Damaged during shipping. Easy to fix but annoying
I write this as someone who has not used it but more based on the condition in which I received it. I will update after I get a chance to actually use it.I ordered this during a warm spell here in the north east thinking that winter snows might have been over. The package arrived one day before a North Easter was due to hit my area. The package was moved into the garage by a dolly I have for moving heavy objects around. The package sat in a safe, dry, protected area until today when I had a chance to finally open it and build it.The box itself was visibly damaged on arrival. There were two set yellow plastic banding around the box, each set perpendicular to the other. One of the yellow straps was almost torn through. Some of the corners of the box were pushed in.When I opened the package the gasket had fallen out in several places. I pushed them back in to place since the gasket has clips in. During this I noticed various other damage that I am not happy with. Below are the pictures I took after I pushed the gasket back into place.There are numerous spots where the metal coating was violently rubbed away to such a degree that deep gouges are etched into the metal all over the interior liner and the portion that holds the charcoal.The piece that holds the charcoal was unsupported during transport and was smashed with such a force as to bend the sides and scratch the ash box.Ultimately this is minor damage, repairable with high temperature grill spray and some simple bending with pliers. If you're somewhat handy these are easy fixes. However, this isn't an entry tier grill I had paid for.The quality of the grill itself looks and feels durable to the touch despite the complaints I have with damage from shipping.Assembly was a breeze. Having a second set of hands will help mounting the actual keg portion to the base but it can be done alone if you have decent upper body strength.Again, I will update after I had a chance to use it. I would highly recommend ordering from your local lowes/home depot instead of dealing with the problems I have. If you do order it through Amazon, open and inspect it immediately.Update 3/31/18I did the seasoning of the cast iron and one hour burn at temperatures of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.I was impressed at how well it held temperatures. I used a fraction of the charcoal I used in my cheap offset smoker and it reached temperatures of 600 degrees easily and held the temperature for over two hours.I'm holding off changing my rating until I actually cook food with it but based on how well it did the seasoning burn I will be giving more stars.Update 4/09/18I had a chance to finally use this for a 7 pound brisket flat. I am very pleased with the performance of this grill.The gasket is damaged and has to be replaced. You can see smoke coming out the side of the grill with the orange temperature probe display. I have not contacted customer support but if I am happy with their service I will update to 5 stars.I cooked roughly 8 hours on a full basket of lump charcoal. At one point the basket had to be shaken to allow the lump charcoal to collapse on itself and keep burning efficiently.The grate I have does not allow easy access to the fuel source that I have been reading about. I have to take the food off remove the grill, add/shake fuel the out the grill back on and then the food.The performance issues I had are similar to other kamodo styled grill. Once the grill was hot, it stayed hot for a long time. I feel some wobble by the ashtray/intake damper is allowing air in but with the damaged gasket I'm not sure which is the real source of the issue.The grill itself feels like it will last a long time if you take care of it. I am very happy with the grill now that I have used it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Knocking my rating down. Grill does NOT come with removable section on grate anymore.
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019
First, the packaging. This smoker is over 100 lbs. but only has styrofoam on the top and bottom. You can guess the outcome. Big dent on the front right in the middle where there’s no packing material.

Second, the grill itself feels pretty substantial but the plastic handles really cheapen it, especially the handle on the back that you have to really pull to get it up on the 2 back wheels. Mine is already loose and one of the bolts was stripped and wouldn’t tighten up.

But what’s important is how this thing smokes and that’s where it excels. Only took one fill (my old Weber used 3 times more) of lump charcoal in my Weber chimney and it lasted for a 6 hour smoke at 240-250 degrees.

Ribs and pork roast turned out amazing and threw some hot sausage right in the coals at the end for about 5-6 minutes to char them good. Easy to regulate the temp. All in all, a very decent smoker, just wish they would upgrade some of the hardware and pack it a little better.

Edit: Knocked my rating down from 4 to 3 stars because cast iron grate does NOT come with removable section anymore. Customer service was not helpful at all saying that grate is now made as a one piece unit. I directed her to the video on their own web site showing the removable section but all she said was “well, I guess we need to change it”. Thanks a lot, that would have been a really useful feature when I tried to add applewood to the coals the other day. Had to take all the food off the top grate and then remove the stainless grate and the cast iron one just to add a few pieces of applewood. Sure would have been nice to just swing the food out of the way, remove the little section with the included tool and add wood or charcoal.
