The Broil King Keg 5000 features 480 square inches total cooking space, including a chrome coated secondary rack, a heavy-duty cast iron cooking grid, a durable steel base and metallic charcoal paint finish. The upper damper is made of heavy duty cast iron and allows you to control the temperature of the cookbox with top-air flow. The multi-tool allows you to open and close the damper with ease, allowing you to cook low and slow or hot and fast. The exterior is a durable powder coated finish that is easy to clean and designed to last in all weather conditions.

The Keg is by far my favorite grill/smoker and I cook everything on it. I bought it about a year ago and it may be the best grill purchase I have ever made. I also own a Broil King Pellet grill and can't wait to decide on the next Broil King product to add to my collection. The accessories for the keg are excellent. I have the pizza stone, tools, cover and hitch adapter. I would like to see a better design for transporting it on the trailer hitch though, as there is a lot of movement and it flips around too much. A ratchet strap did the job (sort of) to help with that issue, but I will probably weld something up and modify it to stop that issue. The simplicity of use, load, light, clean, etc. is great! Even when I'm in a hurry after a busy work day. I don't find I lose any more time than a gas grill and if I do, the flavour makes up for it. When smoking it performs like no other! Love the satisfaction of inspecting the deep smoke ring on food I've been anticipating for hours! This is a versatile grill for any outdoor kitchen and you won't regret it as you serve up the best BBQ to your friends and family.
I bought this Keg 5000 in 2015 or 2016 and still looks like new. After the learning curve, everything taste better on it. It can be used as oven to cook and work great in winter even with way below freezing days.
I was looking for a regular charcoal grill but saw the keg and really liked the look and features. Now that I'm using it I like it even more. It keeps steady heat at 250 F if I want or I can sear steaks at 600 and anything in between. Easy to clean and seems to stand up to the elements well
Had this for about 3 years now. It is so versatile and well made. I use it for smoking, baking and grilling. Never had an issue. I did an 18 hour brisket on it and still had a good amount of charcoal left.
This BBQ is the best one I've ever owned! Will never go back to gas again! Food comes out delicious every time, no flare ups and this Keg holds temperature amazingly well. Endless hours of coolio f with no reloading of charcoal! A must for all BBQ lovers!
I bought this late summer and could not be happier with my purchase. Having years of experience cooking on a kettle I had always wanted a kamado style for the ease of use and insulation (living in Canada, it's necessary). Since buying the Keg I have made so many wonderful meals and temperature management has been a breeze. Winter cooking has been so easy to get the Keg to temperature and hold… which had always been a struggle on the un-insulated kettle, to the point, I would not smoke anything below -10c. I did a pork butt at -22c with no problem at all. I did a lot of research between other brands and models on the market and made the easy decision on the keg: it's light weight, robust and easily moved. Well insulated and cool to the touch. Side shelves included. Second rack that swings out of the way. Great BK warranty, and all in the price point is great bang for the buck. Looking forward to years of delicious Keg cooked meals :)
We got this Broil King Keg 5000 last year and I must say it makes the most delicious and tender meats, I am so happy with the quality
I LOVE MY KEG! Nothing beats the taste! Broil King even gifted me some accessories for registering my purchase! Great customer service
Bought this in spring and hubby had to adjust timing on cooking but now is perfect.
Father's Day 2020 gift, and I must have used it 100+ times in all weather conditions. Steaks, brisket, ribs, grilled salmon, smoked chicken, you name it. We have ridden out the pandemic one great meal at a time. Incredibly versatile, can do a fast grill rare steak, or an 18 hour smoke, or anything in between. Recipes I loved on my propane BBQ have hit a whole new level.
Questions & Answers
Hello. It can be built into a non-combustible enclosure or cabinet. But for freestanding applications, it is meant to be used on the stand.
Asked by Uncle leo | Answered by Uncle leoHello. You may want to consider using a grill pad underneath your grill. That way, if something does fall out, the grill pad will block it from reaching your deck. Here's our selection of grill pads: https://www.bbqguys.com/grill-accessories/grill-pads

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
