Grilling is a favorite American past-time. The popularity is fueled by the many television shows about grilling. Many grilling aficionados prefer cooking on a keg grill. Keg grills are charcoal grills built in a kamado style. Kamado grills are based on an ancient way of cooking. The outside is a ceramic or metal shell which provides excellent insulation. It also allows the cook to maintain high and low temperatures. That is a good thing for grilling and smoking. Cooks who like a big steel keg should inspect Broil King's Keg.

Many cooks say Broil King's product reminds them of the discontinued propane gas grills. This grill is a kamado-style grill made of double steel with insulation in between. This grill is advanced and is designed to keep heat in. It is reminiscent of a thermal convection oven. Inside, there are two removable and adjustable cooking grids. This allows one to cook a lot of food. The bottom grid is made out of heavy duty cast iron and works well for searing meat. The upper grid is made of chrome plated steel and rotates so the cook can reach the bottom grill. The Broil King Keg 5000 has 280 square inches of cooking space.

Grilling on a keg is a cook's dream. The bottom area is perfect for cooking larger items like turkeys or roasts. There are upper and lower dampers to control how much air gets into the keg. This allows for more temperature control. Set the temperature high on the damper for greater cooking temperatures. The Keg comes with convenient side shelves that are made with handles that stay cool. If you are wondering about where the keg sits, it comes with a sturdy stand. The stand is steel with heavy duty wheels. One can move the keg anywhere with little or no effort. Reviews indicate the keg is a winner.

One consumer writes, "the meat was the juiciest and best I have eaten.""This is the grill I should have started with but was afraid of the cost." Best of all, the keg is trailer hitch ready. Therefore, football fans will be ready to do some tailgating. In addition, consumers can buy several accessories for the keg. There is a cast iron grill that is perfect for making breakfast outside. The kids will love the pizza stone kit and dad will appreciate the heavy-duty meat hook. Of course, there is a choice of several different covers to protect the keg from the elements. Start grilling on the keg and you will never use another grill.
