Product Description

First of all, there’s that unique Bubba Keg shape perfectly designed for efficient convection-style cooking. It’s solidly built, made with a double-walled cast iron body and smooth, baked-on enamel finish inside. Next, you’ll notice the Bubba Keg thermometer, built right into the lid that allows you to keep an eye on the precise temperature inside. There are handy, removable trays and the easy-grip handles are always cool to the touch. And what’d-ya-know? There’s even a bottle opener built right in. Man, they thought of everything. Inside your Bubba Keg you will see the high-performance lid seal; as well as removable and adjustable upper and lower grill grates to expand your cooking surface and menu possibilities. On top and bottom you will find numbered dampers that allow you to control the airflow, allowing you to control cooking time and speed. You can even shut-off the air and save your charcoal for another use. There is even a mesh screen that keeps embers and ashes inside, where they belong. The stand is a sturdy steel construction with jumbo rubberized wheels that makes moving your Bubba Keg so easy she can do it. What’s more, every Bubba Keg comes with a trailer hitch adaptor that you guessed, it allows you to hit the road with your Bubba Keg. And check this out-every Bubba Keg also comes with its very own multi-purpose tool-perfectly designed for your Bubba Keg in more ways than one.

Charcoal Man

Review Date: October 4, 2009

Reviewer: Smoker/Griller, TN.

This grill and smoker is as good if not better than the Big Green Egg! But the price tag is almost half of the Egg.The Bubba Keg Grill will pay for itself because it does not use very much charcoal at all.It is so efficient that it only takes 2 or 3 handfulls of charcoal to cook on and you can reuse and relight was is left over.You will love this grill/smoker once you learn how to cook on it. It is so amazing at what it can do because it is very well insulated and it comes with eveything you need to use it not like the Ceramic grills in which you have to buy all of the accessories for a total price of about $1200.00. The Bubba Grill/Smoker price tag is only $599.00 plus tax.This is a steal!

Best BBQ Ever!!!!

Review Date: February 25, 2010

Reviewer: J. Doerner, San Francisco, CA.

I was really looking for a gas BBQ because of the climate of where I live. I wanted something that would start fast and be a easy to use. I had a coal BBQ but hated how long it took to start and get hot. I sw the Bubba Keg and did some research. After finding the BBKG forum, I decided to buy it. Best investment ever. Not only does it start fast, but it also get super hot. I have seared steaks at 750F and done pizza on a stone at 500F. Where this BBQ really shines is in maintaining its temperature. For ThanksGiving I did a 16lb turkey at 250F for 6hours, and the temp never fluxed. I also did a 10hour pulled pork that held at 200F. The setting on this thing allow you (with a little practice) to get to a temp and have it hold for hours. The best part, its so efficient, that I normally have a lot of coal left over at the end. By the way, it recommends that you use Lump Coal, which is cheaper and burns hotter with less ash, so win-win. I wish I would have waited for the new lower price. But even at the original price it was a bargain."
