I've used the keg to both smoke and grill for three years. It works great. Easy to control temps. Unfortunately the essential hardware...both the top baffle and bottom baffle are cheap. The bottom baffle screws have rusted out making this just a really annoying grill. I would recommend purchasing a green egg...hardware doesn't break.

Worth every penny, makes the most delicious foods. Retains perfect amount of heat while the outside is cool to the touch. I have the hitch attachment, so I can take it anywhere and BBQ up anything I like. Such a great BBQ, I also have the Signet, I'm not the best cook, but I haven't managed to screw up anything on it, despite my best efforts everything comes out perfect.

It was a fathers day 2015 gift... I use it year round for grilling, slow cooking and even some smoking... does just as amazing a job at -20 as it does in summer. I could not recommend this grill more! I love it!

The Keg gives the possibility to control the temperature. This is a complete machine to prepare steak, vegetables, pizza, bread, beercan-chicken, with or without flavours or smoke. easy to start, nice- looking, keeps the heat inside and gives back a delicious foods.

I convinced my wife that a Broil King 2000 would make a great Christmas gift. I've used it almost every weekend since and would never go back to propane. Obviously takes a bit longer to get going than pushing an igniter button but the temperature control is awesome and you can't beat the smoky charcoal flavour! Highly recommended!

My son bought a Keg and invited us over for Thanksgiving turkey that he cooked on the Keg. It was the best turkey we have ever had, tender and juicy. A few weeks later he cooked us pizza on the stone and once again by far the best pizza too. I decided at that point to switch from a gas BBQ to the Keg. I was originally worried about the "back to charcoal set up" . It does take a little bit longer to start up (compared to gas) but the small amount of start up time is well worth the quality and taste if the food coming off the grill. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because of the lack of side shelves so you do need a small table beside the Keg for prep. I am extremely pleased with this BBQ and my gas days are done!

I've had this grill 1 month. Cooked brisket, thick cut pork chops,whole pork tenderloin, whole turkey, brats, burgers, pork sausage patties and steaks. Shocked at the efficiency and temperature control. The flavor it gives food with different woods is nothing short of amazing. It cooks forever on one decent pile of wood. It took me 3 years of pondering if the price was worth it, knowing what I know now, it would be 3 seconds. This thing will make you a believer.

I bought my 2000 a year ago. It was recently stolen out of my yard so I hope the thief takes the time to write the review it deserves. I'm taking this advantage to upgrade to the 5000. I'll chain her down because I dont want to experience this heartbreak again. I'm going through withdrawel. See attached photos of me and the son I never had (doesn't he look just like me?). The build, efficiency, simplicity and cooking results are all brilliant. I've read reviews where people have complained of moisture ingress. Mine is uncovered year round; under a tree in the summer, in the garage in the winter and showed minimal interior moisture only after a heavy rain. I suspect an upsidedown pail over the top vent would have thwarted that. Mine showed zero signs of rust after a year of torture. After 8 months of use I gave it a thorough cleaning and the disassembly / reassembly was simple and quick. As an intermediate griller I never had the chance to slow cook yet but if it is as good as the normal grilling I've done I look forward to the results. Look for my review of the 5000 in the coming year

BBQ shipped defective. Part was not replaced until almost a year later. Virtually impossible for me to disassemble and reassemble properly to install part. (Way more assembly required than for original BBQ.) Very disappointed.

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.
