KEG works at its best with True ‘Cue™ 100% Natural Hardwood

This means your fire burns hotter, cleaner and makes less ash

Initial ‘Burn-In’
SEASONING YOUR GRILL
Before you start to cook anything on your new BROIL KING KEG®, you
fi rst 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.
First remove the grill grate and wash thoroughly in warm, soapy
water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel.
Apply vegetable shortening to the cast iron cooking grate and top
damper, inside and out.
For the fi nal “seasoning” step - fi re up your BROIL KING KEG® to
about 400°F for about an hour. That’ll burn-off any of the protective
coating that might still be in the pores of the metal.
Fire Starter Sticks
The preferred fi re starters for your
Match tip Firestarters (MODEL# TCF5511). They’ll get the lump charcoal
going without using lighter fl uids - which we don’t recommend.
You’ll fi nd lump charcoal and starter sticks at hardware stores,
general merchandise stores, and outdoor product stores where
cookout supplies are sold.

WARNING
Always use caution when opening the lid. Carefully ease the
lid open just a crack (about one inch) and count to five (1-23-4-5) 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.

Important: Do not allow lump charcoal to block or cover the air holes
in the fi rebowl.
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 effi cient, it takes less charcoal
than you’re used to using.

MODEL: 911050 / 2000 SERIES
Controlling Temperature
Our BROIL KING KEG® allows you to control cooking temperature by
regulating airfl ow through the top and bottom dampers. The more
you open the dampers, the more air fl ow through and the hotter
the temperature. Small adjustments to the dampers will impact the
cooking chamber temperature.
Cooking At Low Temperatures
For cooking at low temperatures - below 300°F - manage the temperature
closely so not to exceed desired cooking temperature when starting the
fi re. It is important to get the dampers in the 1 position (or lower) before
the fi re gets too hot, once the lid is closed.
SHUTTING DOWN

STARTING UP AGAIN
When you’re ready to fi re up your BROIL KING KEG
may still have unused charcoal left. Leave it there, it is still good.
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.
When the charcoal ashes fi nally do pile up, remove them into a
metal bucket with the Multi-Tool - only perform this when the grill
is cool and charcoal has been extinguished.
