WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Initial ‘Burn-In’
SEASONING YOUR GRILL
Before you start to cook anything on your new BROIL KING KEG®, you
first have to “season it” to burn off the coating used to protect your
BROIL KING KEG® during shipment. It will also protect the cast iron
parts from rusting during normal use.
Natural Lump Charcoal
First remove the grill grate and wash thoroughly in warm, soapy
water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel.
Your BROIL KING KEG® will run on many types of fuel including
traditional charcoal briquettes and even wood chunks. But, the

coating that might still be in the pores of the metal.
Fire Starter Sticks
The preferred fire starters for your BROIL KING KEG® are True ‘Cue™
Match tip Firestarters (MODEL# TCF5511). They’ll get the lump charcoal
going without using lighter fluids - which we don’t recommend.
You’ll find lump charcoal and starter sticks at hardware stores,
general merchandise stores, and outdoor product stores where

WARNING
lid open just a crack (about one inch) and count to five (1-2-
3-4-5) before opening all the way. This allows the heat that
has built up inside the grill to escape slowly and prevents a
sudden rush of oxygen from causing a flare-up.

Step 4:
Step 1:
After lighting charcoal, allow it to ignite with lid open until any flames
go out before closing the lid.
Set the top and bottom dampers positions to position 5 to let the
maximum amount of air in to fuel the fire.
Step 5:

If you are not planning on using the BROIL KING KEG® other than
to sear your food, then begin to adjust the dampers down from
the “5” position once the temperature hits about 250°F.
Step 2:
Open the lid, remove the grilling grate and pour roughly 1.5 pounds
of the natural lump charcoal onto the charcoal grate in the bottom

MODEL# KA5527 (SOLD SEPARATELY)
This gadget is just as cool as the versatile
BROIL KING KEG® itself.
As you become more familiar with your KEG, you will quickly get
a feel for how much charcoal you need for each type of cooking.
Because your BROIL KING KEG® is so efficient, it takes less charcoal
than you’re used to using.
Use it to:
• Safely adjust the top and bottom dampers,
(they can get quite hot).
• Move the cooking grate.
• Removal of ashes, by raking out and into a metal bucket.

DO NOT OPERATE OVER 800ºF / 425ºF

OPERATION
Remember: Never put any part of your BROIL KING KEG® in the
Controlling Temperature
dishwasher for cleaning.
Our BROIL KING KEG® allows you to control cooking temperature by
regulating airflow through the top and bottom dampers. The more
you open the dampers, the more air flow through and the hotter
the temperature. Small adjustments to the dampers will impact the
cooking chamber temperature.
For surface clean-ups, water, mild detergent and a sponge will be just fine.
*
Only use soap and water to clean your grill and always
keep it covered with a grill cover.
You can purchase a grill cover for your BROIL KING KEG®
(MODEL KA5544) at your local retailer.
Cooking Guide
All cooking times and temperatures are approximate. Use a food
thermometer to check internal temperature.

For cooking at low temperatures - below 300°F - manage the temperature
closely so not to exceed desired cooking temperature when starting the
fire. It is important to get the dampers in the 1 position (or lower) before
the fire gets too hot, once the lid is closed.

When you’re ready to fire up your BROIL KING KEG® the next time, you

And as for the grease left on the grill - cook it off at the beginning
of the next use as it will continue to season the grill grate.

Care and Maintenance
Your BROIL KING KEG® will give you many years of great service with
a minimum of care. The seasoning process will help preserve the cast
iron parts. If at any point you see rust forming, use a steel wire brush
to clean the grate and then season it again as described earlier.

Perfect Pizzas
Sumptuous Stuffed Peppers
Baking on the BROIL KING KEG® will
take your cooking to a whole new
level - making you the envy of the
neighborhood. The upper grate gives
you a little more distance from the fire
and is perfect for baking. When making
pizza, we like to use 12” diameter pizza
stone. Place the stone on the upper grate
of your BROIL KING KEG® and pre-heat
to 400°F. Use fresh dough and load it up with your favorite toppings.
Place your pizza on a sheet of baker’s parchment paper - this will
ensure results. Bake on top of the pizza stone for 10 to 15 minutes.
Cooking veggies is fast and easy on
your BROIL KING KEG®. The convection
currents and double-wall insulation help
to maintain a consistent temperature
throughout the grill. For this reason,
cooking times on both the upper and
lower grates will be about the same. It will
also be much faster than a traditional grill
- so keep an eye on it. Stuff bell peppers
with your favorite fixins - we like Italian
sausage, rice and cheese. Place them directly on the grate and bake on
350°F for 20 to 30 minutes.

The Perfect Steak Grilling Guide
For the perfect medium rare 1" thick New York Strip,
follow these simple instructions.
Place steak on angle
on hot grids.
Flip the steak as
shown below.
Turn and flip the
steak again.
Finally, flip the steak
again.
Marinate steak for 1 hour at room temperature or up to
24 hours in the refrigerator. If refrigerating, bring steak
close to room temperature a half hour before grilling
for more even cooking. Preheat grill on MEDIUM/HIGH.
Brush grids with olive oil and proceed as directed.
NOTE: Bone in cuts take slightly longer. Times may
be affected by wind, outdoor temperature, and
thickness or temperature of meat prior to cooking.
