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.

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.

It went together fairly smoothly except for the little side tables. One side locked into place, the other didn't. I tried nearly everything except a hammer. I'll fiddle with it some more, but, I haven't figured it out, yet.
UPDATE 6/2023: Shortly after the above review was posted, I was contacted by Broil King regarding the warranty claim. They confirmed the parts that I needed, as well as the fact that I still needed them. They told me that the parts should ship to me within a couple of months. Well...that was in January, and now it's the middle of June and I haven't seen any parts arrive, nor have they reached out to contact me again. Major disappointment. I cannot recommend buying anything this company makes - they simply do not stand behind their products.
Top reviews from other countries
This is the best grill I've ever experienced. I've researched the big green egg and the kamado Joe but I chose this and do not regret it.
My first concern was that there is no heat deflector. But you don't need it, get it to your temperature and you can make pulled pork or ribs without any overly charred parts. No heat deflector, no water pan, but 4 hours at 250 and my ribs were the juiciest they have ever been.
Temperature control is a dream. It'll take you a while to fine tune, but you can get it steady at your ideal temperature right away. Quick hint, remember to play with the top and bottom vent. You don't need them both at the same setting.
Having locks also helps because you know the lid is perfectly sealed when the lock closes.
The outside will stay cool to the touch even at 400 Fahrenheit. I can touch the area where the coals sit and it is just slightly warm.
I could talk to you for hours about why this grill is the best, but just get it, you won't regret it. If you have questions, ask and as long as Amazon tells me that there is a question, I'll happily answer it.
Happy grilling,
Steve
