Lighting
Step 1:
Set the top and bottom dampers positions to position 5 to let the 
maximum amount of air in to fuel the fi re.
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 fi re 
holes. Important: Do not allow lump charcoal to block or cover the air 
holes in the fi 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 effi cient, it takes less charcoal 
than you’re used to using.
Step 3:
Now the starter sticks can be lit and poked into the side of the mound.
Step 4:
Allow the charcoal to ignite with lid open until any fl 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.
BROIL KING
®
 KEG heats up fast...
... and can get extremely hot.
Begin to adjust the dampers down from the “5” position 
once the temperature hits about 100°F below your target 
temperature.
