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 ???llers. This means your ???re burns hotter, cleaner and makes less ash than with charcoal briquettes.
Initial
Season The Cast Iron Grate
Before you start to cook anything on your new BROIL KING?? KEG, you ???rst 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 ???nal ???seasoning??? step - ???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. It may be a good idea to repeat the seasoning process to your grill grate every so often.
Fire Starter Sticks
The preferred ???re starters for your BROIL KING?? KEG are True ???Cue??? MatchtipFirestarters(MODEL#TCF5511).They???llgetthelumpcharcoal going without using lighter ???uids. (which we don???t recommend)
You???ll ???nd lump charcoal and starter sticks at hardware stores, general merchandise stores, and outdoor product stores where cookout supplies are sold.

Always use caution when opening the lid. Carefully ease the lid open just a crack (about one inch) and count to ???ve

Step 3:
Now the starter sticks can be lit and poked into the side of the mound.
Step 1:
Set the top and bottom dampers positions to position 5 to let the maximum amount of air in to fuel the ???re.
Step 4:
Allow the charcoal to ignite with lid open until any ???ames go out before closing the lid.
Step 5:
Put the grill grate back in place and close lid. Stay close by to adjust dampers to desired cooking temperature.
Step 2:
Open the lid, remove the two grilling grates and pour roughly 1.5 pounds of the natural lump charcoal onto the charcoal grate in the bottom of your BROIL KING?? KEG.
Careful - not too much charcoal. The charcoal should cover the charcoal grate in a slight mound piled not much higher than the ???re holes. Important: Do not allow lump charcoal to block or cover the air
holes in the ???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 ef???cient, it takes less charcoal than you???re used to using.

Controlling Temperature
The BROIL KING?? KEG allows you to control cooking temperature by regulating air???ow through the top and bottom dampers. The more you open the dampers, the more air will ???ow through and the hotter the temperature will get. 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 fire. It is important to get the dampers in the 1 position (or lower) before the ???re gets too hot.
Adjust the dampers using the

Grate Positions
The BROIL KING?? KEG allows you to adjust the position of the cooking grates to suit your needs. The cast iron cooking grate has two positions. The lower position enables the grill to accommodate larger dishes like whole turkeys or roasts. For smaller items, you may want to use the higher position.
The
The chrome plated grill grate provides an additional cooking surface. When using the chrome grate, the cast iron grate must be in the lower locked position. The chrome plated cooking grate can swing out of the way to access the lower cooking grate during cooking.
SHUTTING DOWN
When you???re ready to shut down the BROIL KING?? KEG, close both dampers to put ???re out completely.
You may still have unused charcoal left, leave it there, it is still good to use the next time you ???re up your BROIL KING?? KEG. 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.

The BROIL KING?? KEG will give you many years of great service with minimal 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.
