Natural Lump Charcoal
Your
BROIL KING KEG
®
will run on many types of fuel including
traditional charcoal briquettes and even wood chunks. But, the
KEG works at its best with True ‘Cue
™
100% Natural Hardwood
Lump Charcoal (MODEL# TCF5505). Good natural lump charcoal,
like True ‘Cue
™
Brand, contains no chemicals, additives or fillers.
This means your fire burns hotter, cleaner and makes less ash
than with charcoal briquettes.
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
BROIL KING KEG
®
are True ‘Cue
™
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 (1-2-
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.
