Broil King 911050 Keg 2000 Barbecue Grill

This is a champion grill. You need this in your life. Got a hitch on the truck? Take it camping. I bbqd while driving on the freeway heading to the tailgate football game last year. Showed up, cut up some tritip and ate before the game. Left a slow cook going during the game and had some more bbq after the game. It holds its temp incredibly well. Easy to clean, I can sear at 900 deg, I can slow cook at 150-200 or whatever. It’s sturdy and robust. The air intakes are well built. Get this.

Full disclosure, I did not buy this here because it was on sale elsewhere. But I love it so much, I have to write a review. This is the best grill I've ever experienced. I've researched the big green egg and the kamado Joe but I chose this and do not regret it. My first concern was that there is no heat deflector. But you don't need it, get it to your temperature and you can make pulled pork or ribs without any overly charred parts. No heat deflector, no water pan, but 4 hours at 250 and my ribs were the juiciest they have ever been. Temperature control is a dream. It'll take you a while to fine tune, but you can get it steady at your ideal temperature right away. Quick hint, remember to play with the top and bottom vent. You don't need them both at the same setting. Having locks also helps because you know the lid is perfectly sealed when the lock closes. The outside will stay cool to the touch even at 400 Fahrenheit. I can touch the area where the coals sit and it is just slightly warm. I could talk to you for hours about why this grill is the best, but just get it, you won't regret it. If you have questions, ask and as long as Amazon tells me that there is a question, I'll happily answer it. Happy grilling, Steve

Best BBQ I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. Low and slow is easy and high temp too. Well built and uses very little charcoal. Better than the clay/ceramic type. Heats up quicker in winter ( very good for low/slow so you don’t overshoot the heat point) and won’t crack due to temp differential. Like the idea of a trailer hitch but haven’t used it…

Unfortunately we never got far in to the assembly of the Keg - we found that the stand was manufactured incorrectly, and thus we could not install the hitch pin to secure the body. The threaded hole was supposed to be drilled horizontally though the mounting bar, but instead was drilled vertically - meaning it did not align with the holes on the Keg's body.

I was going to write a review about how this keg can't ruin any food but reviewer Paul Zedack already covered that part. 😂. My wife thinks this thing is magic because everything has come out moist and flavoritius. Burgers, chicken, shrimp, pastrami, bacon, DUCK!!! Holy moley roast duck at Christmas was spectacular. In winter. Outside. Could not have done that in the webber. We've simply started using it as our second oven. I even floated the idea of getting a second one ( you need two - one for hot and one for not so hot, really!!!😂 😂 😂) and got no pushback!!! There are some tweaks that could be done to make it better - the grill grate really should have a removable section for weird adds. Not sure why they went away from that. But most of the time is not an issue if you plan your cook right. Air leakage is a minor issue, gaskets could seal a bit better but again I've had no problems maintaining 225 for hours. I had no shipping damage when I got mine, but yah it's a heavy beast and if the shippers drop it it's probably going to get bent. However that's also the beauty of the steel keg - drop this one and it gets dented. drop a ceramic keg and it's broken. Anyhow - 5 stars after almost 1 year of use. 😍
