WHAT YOU’LL NEED

MODEL: 911770 / 4000 SERIES

 

 

 

 

Natural Lump Charcoal

Your BROIL KING® KEG will run on many types of fuel including traditional charcoal briquettes and even wood chunks. The KEG works best with True ‘Cue™ 100% Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal (MODEL# TCF5505). Good natural lump charcoal, like True ‘Cue™, contains no chemicals, additives or fillers. This means your fire burns hotter, cleaner and makes less ash than with charcoal briquettes.

Initial ‘Burn-In’

Season The Cast Iron Grate

Before you start to cook anything on your new BROIL KING® KEG, you first have to burn off the coating used to protect your BROIL KING® KEG during shipment. You will then need to season it, this will protect the cast iron parts from rusting during normal use.

First remove the grill grates and wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel. Don’t allow to air dry and don’t ever put in a dishwasher.

When the cast iron grill grate is completely dry, apply a coating of solid vegetable shortening to both sides of it for protection. Also apply vegetable shortening to the top damper, inside and out.

For the final “seasoning” step - fire 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. It may be a good idea to repeat the seasoning process to your grill grate every so often.

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 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 (1-2- 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.
