Welcome Dear Hasty-Bake owner, Congratulations and welcome to the proud Hasty-Bake family. I am confident that you will be pleased with your decision to purchase the finest multipurpose charcoal-burning grill available. Whether you are a “seasoned” outdoor chef or just getting “fired-up”, the following pages will provide you with helpful tips, tricks, and techniques to make your Hasty-Bake experiences more enjoyable.
A Little Histor y In 1948, Grant Hastings produced the first Hasty-Bake Charcoal Oven. As one of the original manufacturers of the “backyard barbecue,” Hastings was a pioneer in the industry. Specifically, Hasty-Bake introduced the first portable unit, the first hooded unit, and a new method of cooking using indirect heat. Hastings’ design controlled the intensity of heat by using vents, a heat deflector, a ventless hood and an adjustable firebox, revolutionizing the method in which food was cooked.
Unique Features & Benefits VENTLESS HOOD (7) Your Hasty-Bake has a hinged hood so you can cook with the hood open or closed. The deep “ventless” hood is just one of the unique features which enables you to prepare foods which are flavorful and juicy (draft vents placed in the hood of a grill will dry out foods). The main function of your HastyBake hood is to hold in the heat and smoke so that it rotates around your food.
ASH PAN (9) All Hasty-Bake models feature a completely removable ash pan, making clean up easy. When the fire box is pulled out for refueling, remember to pull the ash pan out simultaneously to catch the charcoal ashes and cinders that may fall through the fire grate. To help reduce corrosion and to keep clean-up simple, we recommend that you line the ash pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
A ssembly Instr uctions Suburban/Continental/Legacy/Gourmet Your new Hasty-Bake oven should arrive almost fully assembled. However, a few items are left unassembled for ease of shipping or loading into vehicles. The unit is not difficult to assemble and there are only two tools needed for assembly: a Phillips screwdriver and a crescent wrench. If you have any problems assembling your Hasty-Bake, please call 1-800-4AN-OVEN.
COOKING GRILLS The two cooking grills sit on lips positioned near the top of base cabinet along the front and back sides. Set grills with “V” facing down. 6 FIRE GRATE Place the fire grate into the bottom of the fire box. 7 FIRE BOX The fire box slides into the channels on the lift mechanism, which is located inside the unit above the ash pan. 8 ASH PAN The ash pan slides into support runners on each side of the cabinet base.

Cooking Methods Hasty-Bake Charcoal Ovens are proven award-winning smokers, but are much more versatile than traditional smokers, allowing you to grill, bake and smoke, all on the same unit! DIRECT COOKING Direct cooking is done by cooking foods directly over hot coals with the hood either open or closed. This method is also called searing, grilling or even frying. The fire box is generally raised to the highest position ("sear" on the cooking style indicator), or 4 to 6 inches below the cooking grills.
COMBINATION COOKING Combination cooking is done by cooking some foods directly over the coals while cooking other foods on the opposite end of the fire. The fire box should be in the highest position ("sear" on the cooking style indicator), or 4 to 6 inches below the cooking grills, with the heat deflector removed. With the fire confined to one end of the fire box, you may cook potatoes, corn, bread, chicken parts, etc., at the end away from the fire while searing steaks, chops, etc.
Getting Star ted 1 2 Open the hood and dual draft vents. Hardwood Charcoal Hasty-Bake Hardwood Charcoal is 100% charred hardwood made primarily from oak and hickory. Easy to light, this key ingredient for Excess grease build up should be removed from the top of the heat deflector and the grease drain to prevent grease fires. Hasty-Bake cooking does not contain any fillers or chemical additives.
Cooking Tips CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE There are basically three ways in which you can control the inside oven temperature of your Hasty-Bake. You must take into consideration that outside factors such as humidity, wind and temperature are beyond your control, but with continued use of your Hasty-Bake you will quickly become experienced in controlling the inside oven temperature by using the following methods: AMOUNT OF CHARCOAL – The more charcoal you use, the higher the temperature.
Installing A Rotisserie SUBURBAN AND LEGACY When utilizing a rotisserie with a Suburban or Legacy model, please note that you will need to remove the cooking grills, which will eliminate your cooking surface. Therefore, you will not be able to cook additional food items while using the rotisserie. • Remove cooking grills and grease drain rod. • Remove grease cup holder and position it on the next lower hole. • Mount grease cup holder and rotisserie bracket together. • Gently slide motor into bracket.
Troubleshooting & Common Questions What should I do if a grease fire occurs? Immediately close the hood, the dual draft vents and fire door (if it is open), to quickly suffocate the fire. Keeping your grease drain clean and cooking with the heat deflector in place will help reduce the chance of grease fires. What should I do if my fire is beginning to die down? Charcoal requires oxygen to burn.

Veggies Roasted Red Peppers Cut each bell pepper in half and remove the core and seeds. Place the pepper over a medium-hot direct fire on the grill and roast, turning occasionally, until completely charred (about 10 minutes). Place the pepper in a paper bag and let it steam for about 10 minutes, until it’s cool enough to handle. Peel away the skin and slice the pepper into strips.
Bread Garlic Bread Make diagonal slices into a loaf of French bread about 11⁄2” apart, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. Mash one clove of garlic (or use about 1⁄4 teaspoon of garlic powder) and mix well with 1⁄2 cup of butter. Spread butter mixture on both sides of each slice. Wrap the whole loaf in foil and heat at 180 to 200ºF in your Hasty-Bake with the heat deflector in place over the coals until the bread is heated through (about 20 minutes).
Desser t Baked Apples Core a large cooking apple (the firmer and tarter the better). Fill the whole with red cinnamon candies, raisins and a bit of butter. Dot the rest of the apple with butter. Place the apple in the center of a sheet of foil. Bring the corners together and twist, leaving the foil rather loose around the apple. Cook on your Hasty-Bake at about 200ºF with the heat deflector in place over the coals until the apple is soft, about 30 minutes.
