Big steel keg vs big green egg. The broil king keg is so closely modeled on the size and shape of the big green egg that grates and accessories are interchangeable. The heavy duty cast iron grates and dampers are of high quality and can be expected to last several years. Born in 1974 the big green egg remains the most popular brand of kamado in the world and devoted fans even call themselves eggheads. With a classic kamado style design the keg 5000 is designed to retain heat and moisture ensuring delicious and flavorful food every time.

The grill is the same. The big green egg wins our number two spot as the best kamado grill. When that bubba keg or big steel keg is rusting out in someones backyard my eggs will still be cooking like new. Unlike most kamado style grills that are made from ceramic the keg 5000 features an insulated steel grill body design that offers superior heat and moisture retention and unmatched durability.

The build quality of premium ceramic materials and grill performance are top of the line with both the egg and kamado joe. The price and value of the broil king keg is comparable with top of the line ceramic kamado grills such as the big green egg. I had a bubba keg that the original company in zone refined a little and rebranded big steel keg due to the limited marketing appeal of the word bubba thankfully the left the beer bottle openers in place inzone then sold the rights off to onward manufacturing which is a big established grill company from canada that have since. In the spirit of our nascar we decided to race two barbecues.

The big green egg has been producing these kamado style grills for decades. This steel cooker was originally the bubba keg then the big steel keg until bought by onward manufacturing broil king in 2010 and renamed the broil king keg then broil king keg 5000 in 2015. The broil king keg is so closely modeled on the size and shape of the big green egg that grates and accessories are interchangeable yet this metal version has some truly impressive innovative features and design. Well we pitted the big green egg vs broil king keg and here are the results.

The interior is almost exactly the same size as the large big green egg and many bge accessories fit it although broil king makes plenty of their own. Capable of hitting very high temperatures while staying cool on the outside with great temperature control this grill really is an amazing unit. In the end i decided it was not worth it i could just get a medium egg have a little less space but a better product. The real question comes down to your preference of ceramic or steel.
