A Little History
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.
In acknowledgment of Grant Hastings tremendous efforts, Hasty-Bake Charcoal
Ovens have attracted a lot of attention over the years. Hasty-Bake was selected by
the State Department to represent the United States at the Brussels World’s Fair in
1958. Our company won the Hess Award in 1962, and our ovens have been on
display in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. The patented Hasty-Bake
design receives continual praise from food and industry critics across the country.
In addition, our ovens have produced blue ribbon results in barbecue competitions
from coast to coast. For example, the Grand Champion of the 1994 American
Royal in Kansas City (known as the World Series of Barbecue Cookoffs), Doug
Steele and his Heat’s Neat team, used a Hasty-Bake to prepare most of their
award-winning recipes.
Though our company has undergone many changes in the last 50 years, the basic
design of Hasty-Bake Charcoal Ovens remains unchanged. Since 1993, Hasty-
Bake has been owned by Richard and Bill Alexander. They have continued the
tradition of producing the finest multipurpose charcoal-burning grill available on
the market today.
Built for the discriminating outdoor chef, Hasty-Bake ovens create a cooking
environment that produces meals which are superior in taste. No other product has
the versatility to grill, bake and smoke with such ease and perfection. Each Hasty-
Bake is constructed by hand from only the highest-quality materials. With proper
care and basic maintenance, you can expect our black powder finish, cold-rolled
steel ovens to last for 15 to 25 years (or longer). Our solid stainless steel models can
be expected to last virtually forever!
Even after 50 years, our charcoal ovens continue to grow in popularity, largely
thanks to proud owners who tell others about their Hasty-Baking experiences.
Since satisfied customers have always been our best advertising, we hope you will
carry on the Hasty-Bake tradition by sharing your enthusiasm with others.

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 Hasty-
Bake hood is to hold in the heat and smoke so that it rotates around your food. Your
Hasty-Bake cooks like an oven; it turns the heat instead of you having
to turn the meat.
DUAL DRAFTVENTS (8)
Dual draft vents, combined with the adjustable fire box and Hasty-
Bake’s totally enclosed design, provide you with the ability to
control the fire at all times. The intake draft vent is located on
the fire door, just below the fire level. The exhaust draft
vent is located above the fire level on the opposite
side of the grill, by the push handle. Hasty-Bake’s
unique dual draft vent feature creates a cross
draft in the body of the oven, instead of in the
hood, which allows your foods to be cooked on all
sides. Fully opened vents create an intense heat.
Conversely, vents that are barely open lower the heat for
baking and smoking.
HEAT DEFLECTOR (5)
The heat deflector plate, which is placed on the fire box (when in use),
combines with the ventless hood to enable your Hasty-Bake to cook
like an oven. The heat deflector’s function is to distribute heat evenly
throughout the cooking area without exposing any food to the direct fire and to control flare-ups. Thus, your
Hasty-Bake becomes a “convection” oven and your food can be placed across the entire cooking surface. For
the heat deflector to work properly, confine the coals to not more than half of the fire box (usually the right
hand side, which is the side of the fire box closest to the fire door) and slide the heat deflector into place on
top of the fire box above the coals. Remember to remove the heat deflector when using your Hasty-Bake for
cooking with direct heat (searing).
FULL-WIDTH FIRE DOOR (3)
On all Hasty-Bake models, a full width door permits easy fueling and allows the fire box and ash pan to be
entirely removed for cleaning. The full-width fire door also makes it easy to slide the heat deflector into place
or remove it when necessary. In addition, the fire door makes it easy to access the fire box for refueling during
slow cooking or smoking so that foods never have to be removed from the grill. Use the space at the bottom
of the oven base (below the ash pan) as a warming area while cooking and a storage area when your Hasty-
Bake is not in use.
4
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.
COOKING GRILLS (4)
Our cooking grills are constructed of heavy 1⁄4” diameter
nickel-plated material providing a clean, durable cooking
surface. The grills are also “V”-shaped, allowing grease to
flow to the center of the cooking grill and travel properly
through the grease drain system.
GREASE DRAIN SYSTEM (2)
The “V”-shaped cooking grills encourage most of the grease and fat to drain off of the meat, follow the “V”
toward the center of the cooking grill, drip into the grease drain rod and continue outside the unit to the
grease cup. Flare-ups are virtually eliminated. Typically, when the hood is closed and the heat deflector is in
place, grease drippings will not cause flare-ups. If you are “searing” or “grilling” your food with the hood open
and the heat deflector removed, flare-ups might occur. You can control them by simply closing the hood and
draft vents for a few seconds.
ADJUSTABLE FIRE BOX & COOKING STYLE INDICATOR (1)
The position of your fire may be mechanically adjusted up or down. Turning the outside crank handle
clockwise raises the fire box to the “sear” position for quick cooking of steaks, burgers, etc. Turning the crank
handle counterclockwise lowers the fire box to a “bake” level for cooking chicken, ham, bread, etc. Continue
turning the crank handle counterclockwise and the fire will be in the “smoke” position, for slow cooking or
smoking of turkeys, ribs, briskets, etc. Read the information above about the heat deflector for proper use
with the adjustable fire box. The cooking style indicator on the front of the Hasty-Bake is linked to the lift
mechanism and eliminates any quess work about the position of the fire. Different cooking methods require
varying placements of the fire.
Because the fire box (instead of the cooking grills) may be moved up or down, the cooking space inside the
hood remains unchanged during fire box adjustments. This is important when cooking large turkeys, hams
or both.
THERMOMETER (6)
Accurate to within 1%, this stainless steel bi-metal
thermometer helps you maintain your desired cooking
temperature.

Assembly Instructions
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.
CRANK HANDLE
Screw the crank handle into threaded hole on the left side of the oven (the side of
the oven opposite the full-width fire door) and continue to turn until the lift
mechanism is moving up and down.

GREASE CUP HOLDER
Attach the grease cup holder to the left side of the cabinet base using either the top
or bottom rotisserie bracket mounting holes located at the center of the oven,
directly below the draft vents. The bolt, nut and lockwasher should already be
attached to the grill base. Leave the remaining bolt in place to plug the unused
hole. (These same bolts are also used to mount the rotisserie should you purchase
one for your grill.) Place the grease cup on the holder and bend the arms to fit
around the foil cup.
GREASE DRAIN ROD
Insert the grease drain rod into the unit. The rod should be positioned with the
notched hole inserted into the retaining hole, which is located on the inside of the
oven, centered and directly above the fire door on the right side of the unit. For the
drainage system to operate properly, DO NOT insert the rod into the rotisserie
spit rod hole on the oven base. The end of the rod without the notched hole
extends through the center draft hole on the left side of the unit and hangs over the
foil cup, positioned on the outside of the grill.
PUSH HANDLE
The push handle fits into holes located on the left side of the unit. This is a
“friction fit”, so work on one side at a time, rotating the handle into the holes.
After you have worked the handle partially into both holes, push the handle in
completely. Attach with the four larger bolts, lockwashers, and nuts provided in
the bag. If your push handle is delivered with a side work table in place,
installation will be easier if the work table is removed first. Once the handle is
bolted in place, snap the table back on. NOTE: Lift and push your Hasty-Bake
with this handle, DO NOT pull the unit behind you.
HOOD HANDLE
Attach the hood handle with the two small bolts and lockwashers provided in the
bag.

ASH PAN
The ash pan slides into support runners on each side of the
cabinet base.
HEAT DEFLECTOR
The heat deflector slides over and rests on the lift mechanism
rails above the fire box. It can be moved along the length of the
fire box or removed and stored elsewhere, depending on your
chosen cooking method. NOTE: If the fire box is raised to the
highest position (“sear”) with the heat deflector in place, the
grease drain rod will bend.

FRONTWORKTABLE
The stainless steel front work table simply rests on
the front of the oven base. The table must be removed and
stored, either in the grill or in the storage area under the ash pan,
for your Hasty-Bake grill cover to fit.

TIPS FOR CLEANING
YOUR HASTY-BAKE
Caring for your Hasty-Bake
Empty ashes frequently (if not before
every use) to avoid having them spill
over the sides of the ash pan. Also, be
sure to remove any ashes that may fall
below the ash pan into the storage
area. Ashes draw moisture, creating a
chemical reaction, which promotes
rust.
Constructed by hand, each Hasty-Bake unit contains only the highest-
quality materials to provide unequaled performance, convenience and
durability. With proper care and basic maintenance, you can expect our
black powder finish, cold-rolled steel ovens to last for 15 to 25 years (or
longer). Our solid stainless steel models can be expected to last virtually
forever!
LINEYOUR ASH PANWITH ALUMINUM FOIL.
This makes clean-up easy and provides a barrier between the caustic ashes
and your ash pan, increasing the life of your ash pan.
Scrape the grease drain rod (after
every cooking usage) to keep the
grease drain system functioning
efficiently and to control and virtually
eliminate flare-ups.
AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT.
Be aware that operating your Hasty-Bake at extremely high temperatures
can damage the paint and other components of your grill and may void
the warranty.
Scrape off excessive grease build up
on the interior of the oven
DON’T FORCETHE CRANK HANDLE IF IT ISTOO
(periodically) with a putty knife to
avoid obstruction of moving parts.
Excessive grease build up can hinder
many of the movable parts (ash pan,
fire box, heat deflector) which can lead
to grease fires.
TIGHT.
Keep the crank handle lubricated for smooth operation. If the handle
won’t turn, check for obstructions. If there are no visible problems and the
threads are lubricated, then call us. Always remember to store the heat
deflector if you are using the “sear” position, the heat deflector will bend
the grease drain rod.
Clean the outside of your Hasty-
Bake. Use a 3M Scotch-Brite pad and
degreaser such as a Simple Green to
clean the outer surface of the powder-
coated finished parts. For stainless steel
parts, use sudsy ammonia. We also
carry a stainless steel cleaning product
which helps keep stainless steel
LOWERYOUR FIRE BOX AFTER EACH USE.
The heat build-up from cooking on your Hasty-Bake can cause the lift
mechanism to warp if left to cool in a raised position.
PROTECTYOUR INVESTMENT.
Excess moisture can shorten the life expectancy of your Hasty-Bake. So,
try to remember to keep your oven out of the elements by either storing it
in a covered area or by using one of our grill covers (a black cover silk-
screened with the Hasty-Bake logo, made of Sunbrella™ material). NOTE:
Never cover your Hasty-Bake while the oven is still hot and do not use a
plastic cover.

cleaner. Allow the window to soak for
a minute or two and scrape off any
build-up with a razorblade tool.

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. The
heat deflector should be removed when
using this cooking method. Remember,
that the meat must be turned since it will
cook faster on the side that is directly over
the fire. If you wish to cook utilizing the
entire cooking surface, light the coals as
instructed and then spread them across the
entire fire box after the coals are glowing
red.
INDIRECT COOKING
Indirect cooking is done by cooking
with heat only, instead of using direct
fire. This method is used for smoking,
roasting or baking. The fire box is
usually in one of the lower positions
("bake" or "smoke" on the cooking style
indicator), with the heat deflector in
place over the coals. Food may be placed
on either side of the grill while cooking
with this method, or you can utilize the
entire cooking surface. Recipe times are
based on the fire box being positioned 8
to 14 inches below the cooking grills.
Cooking times will decrease as the fire
box is raised. Your fire will need to be
refueled when using indirect cooking, so
remember to check your fire about 11⁄
to
2
2 hours throughout the cooking process.
10
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., directly over the coals at the same time.
Remember that the hood must be closed for
combination cooking, and slower cooking
foods should be started earlier than the
"searing" foods.
ROTISSERIE COOKING
Rotisserie cooking is impressive and fun. However, you can easily and successfully cook anything on a Hasty-Bake
without using a rotisserie since our unique design allows the heat and smoke to rotate around your food. However,
should you desire to use the rotisserie cooking method, we do have rotisserie kits available for all Hasty-Bake models
(except the Portable).
Rotisserie cooking involves having the food rotate constantly throughout the cooking process. Always balance
your meat well on the spit rod and secure it with the spit forks.
It is a good idea to double check to make sure
that the meat is secure. Tie or pin fowl wings
flat against the sides of the bird. Rotisserie
cooking times may be faster than those used for
roasting or baking by the indirect cooking
method. To keep fat and juices from falling
directly into the fire, spread the coals along
the outer edges of the fire box and place
aluminum foil beneath the meat to catch
the drippings. The heat will rise along the back
of the unit, cooking the meat on all sides as it rotates. Another option is to
confine the coals to one side of the fire box with the heat deflector in place. This is a form of indirect
cooking, using the spit rod for self-basting. Foods which are rotated while cooking tend to be self-basting,
and therefore more moist and juicy.

Hardwood Charcoal
Hasty-Bake Hardwood
Getting Started
Open the hood and dual draft vents.
Charcoal is 100% charred
hardwood made primarily
from oak and hickory. Easy to
light, this key ingredient for
Hasty-Bake cooking does not
contain any fillers or chemical
additives. Hardwood charcoal
burns hotter and gives food
great campfire flavor, and it
will have you cooking in 10 to
15 minutes without the use of
lighter fluid.
1
2
Excess grease build up should be removed from the
top of the heat deflector and the grease drain to
prevent grease fires.
Open the fire door. Slide the ash pan and fire box
approximately half way out. Load the charcoal (we
recommend hardwood charcoal) into the fire box.
The charcoal should be loaded in the right side of the
fire box only, level with the top of the fire box. If you
are planning to sear over the entire cooking surface,
still load the charcoal in the right side only and
spread it evenly across the fire box after the charcoal
has reached desired intensity.

Firelighters
Firelighters are oversized
kitchen matches made of fine
wood particles coated with
paraffin which burn
Slide the fire box back into the unit. Place two
Firelighters on the ash pan and slide the ash pan back
into the unit. Using the crank handle, lower the fire
box until it is positioned approximately 1 inch above
the ash pan. This will allow the flames from the
Firelighters to leap up through the charcoal until the
charcoal is well ignited. If using hardwood charcoal,
the fire should be fully ignited in 10 to 15 minutes.
Should you prefer something other than
Firelighters to start your grill, we suggest using
Firestarter. Hasty-Bake does not recommend using
any type of petroleum-based lighter fluids – they only
ruin the taste of your foods!
completely in 6 to 8 minutes.
Firestarter
Firestarter is an odorless,
alcohol-based fire starting gel,
that helps achieve quicker
ignition times.
Grill Brush
Our grill brush has an 18”
wood handle, brass bristles
and a stainless steel scraper
tool.
Once the thermometer indicates a temperature
between 150 and 200ºF, excess grease build up on the
cooking grills should be removed (we recommend
using a grill brush) to clean the grills and help
prevent grease fires.
5
NOTE: If a grease fire ever occurs, you should
immediately close the hood, dual draft vents and
fire door (if it is open), to quickly suffocate the fire.

Cooking Tips
CONTROLLINGTHETEMPERATURE
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.
POSITION OFTHE FIRE BOX – Lower the fire box to lower the temperature (slowing down the cooking
process) and raise the fire box to raise the temperature (speeding up the cooking process).
DUAL DRAFTVENTS – Charcoal requires oxygen to burn. Therefore, opening the draft vents will raise
the temperature inside the oven and closing the draft vents will lower the temperature.
TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES
SMOKE
Smoking or slow cooking is done with the hood closed and the food
placed over indirect heat (coals are covered with the heat deflector).
Temperatures are usually kept in the 175 to 210ºF range.
BAKE
Baking is done with the hood closed and the food placed over
indirect heat (coals are covered with the heat deflector). Temperatures
are usually in the 210 to 275ºF range.
SEAR
Searing is done with the hood open and the food placed directly over the coals, (without the heat deflector
in place) for greater heat intensity. The cooking surface will reach temperatures as high as 600ºF. (Be aware
that the temperature will not be measured by the thermometer since the hood is usually left open when
searing.)
USE OFWOOD CHUNKS
You can enhance the flavor of any food with smoke by using either wood chips or chunks. Both do an
excellent job of adding smoke. However, wood chunks are more often preferred since they are bigger and
usually last longer than wood chips. To achieve an intensified flavor, we suggest soaking the wood chips or
chunks in water for a least an hour before use.
Wood chips or chunks can be added to the cooking process by two different methods:
1. Place water-soaked wood chips or chunks in a small aluminum foil pan and place the pan directly on the
coals or on top of the heat deflector. This creates a slow smoke release.
2. Place water-soaked wood chunks directly in the fire box, mixed in with the coals. This creates a quick burst
of smoke flavor.
Following are some guidelines for choosing the “right” woods for the foods you prepare. Of course, we
always recommend that you experiment to find a taste that you like. Remember, your Hasty-Bake oven holds
in the smoke and greatly intensifies the flavor, so be careful to avoid over-seasoning.
Alder – Good for salmon, turkey and chicken.
Apple – Tangy and clean-flavored, good for chichen, pork and fish. The greener the wood, the sweeter the smoke flavor.
Cherry – Sweet and fruity, best with duck and other poultry.
Grapevine – Good for steaks and other meats, poultry and seafood.
Hickory – Rich and smoky, hickory is the “basic” barbecue wood. It is especially good with pork.
Maple – Mellow, mild and sweet, maple is good with poultry, seafood and pork.
Mesquite – Robust and smoky, mesquite is best with beef.
Pecan – Similar to hickory but milder, use with beef, poultry and pork.
Persimmon – Use with beef and pork, also a great choice for wild game.

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.
• Assemble spit rod and forks.
• Slide squared end of spit rod into the flap above the fire door.
• Place pointed end of spit rod into the square slot on the motor.
• Plug motor into electrical outlet and turn motor on when you
are ready to begin rotisserie cooking.
CONTINENTAL AND GOURMET
When utilizing a rotisserie on a Continental or Gourmet model, you have
the ability to rotisserie cook without eliminating any cooking surface.
However, you also have the option to use two rotisseries at once. Should you
desire to operate two rotisseries at the same time, simply combine the
installation instructions above with the installation instructions below.
• Remove warming grill (rack).
• Mount motor bracket in the two holes located on the left side of the
grill hood.
• Gently slide motor into bracket.
• Assemble spit rod and forks.
• Slide squared end of spit rod into the flap above the fire door.
• Place pointed end of spit rod into the square slot on the motor.
• Plug motor into electrical outlet and turn motor on when are ready to
begin rotisserie cooking.
14
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. By opening the draft vents and fire door, you
should be able to get your fire going again or you may simply need to add more
charcoal to the fire box. However, if the fire has died down almost completely,
and opening the vents and fire door does not reignite the fire, you will need to
simply relight the charcoal.
How much charcoal should I use?
We recommend filling half of the fire box with hardwood charcoal. If you are
planning to sear using the entire grill, you can spread the charcoal to the other
side after it has reached the desired heat intensity.
What if I have charcoal left when I’m done cooking?
Simply close your grill (lid, fire door, draft vents) to smother the fire. You will be
able to reuse the charcoal that is left in the fire box the next time you use your
Hasty-Bake.
How do I regulate the heat in my Hasty-Bake?
There are basically three ways to control the temperature of your Hasty-Bake
oven. Outside factors such as humidity, wind and temperature are beyond your
control, but you will quickly become experienced in controlling the inside
temperature by using these methods:
Amount of charcoal - The more charcoal you use, the higher the temperature.
Position of the fire box - Lower the fire box to lower the temperature and raise
the fire box to raise the temperature.
Dual draft vents - Fire requires oxygen to burn. Open the draft vents (and even
the fire door) to raise the temperature and close the grill to lower the
temperature.

The night before you plan to barbecue, combine the
rub ingredients in a small bowl. In another bowl,
combine the ingredients for the injection liquid.
Remove the organs from the cavity of the chickens.
Soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
Marinate chicken in Italian dressing for at least 1 hour
and overnight if possible. (You may substitute equal
parts olive oil and vinegar for Italian dressing, adding
salt to taste.)
Cook chicken breasts bone side down at 225 to
250ºF over indirect heat (the heat deflector should be
in place over the coals). Baste every 20 minutes with a
mixture of equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire
sauce using a spray bottle or brush. Sprinkle chicken
with seasoning after last basting and again to taste
before serving. Boneless breasts will be done in 30 to
40 minutes. Bone-in breasts will take 45 to 55 minutes
to cook.
With a kitchen syringe, inject about 1⁄
cup of the
2
injection liquid deep into the breast and legs of each
chicken in several spots. Massage the chickens
thoroughly, inside and out, with the remaining
injection liquid, working it as far as possible under the
skin without tearing the skin. Cover the chickens well
with the dry rub, again massaging inside and out and
over and under the skin. Reserve at least 1 Tablespoon
of the rub if you are planning to baste the chickens.
Place the chickens in a plastic bag and refrigerate them.
Prepare your Hasty-Bake to cook with indirect heat
(with the heat deflector in place over the coals),
bringing the temperature to 200 to 220ºF.
Remove the chickens from the refrigerator and let
them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
While you wait, open the 2 beer cans and drink
half–and only half–of each beer. With a can opener,
remove the tops of the half-empty beer cans. Place half
of the onion, vinegar, garlic and reserved rub in each
can. Insert the replenished beer cans into the cavities of
the chickens, balancing the birds so that they rest
upright with their legs bent forward. The cans should
sit flat on the grill or on a cooking tray, holding the
chickens at attention while their insides are steaming
and their outsides are smoking.
If you are going to use the mop, combine the
ingredients in a saucepan and keep the mixture warm
over low heat.
Transfer the chickens to the Hasty-Bake. Cook for
approximately 2 to 3 hours, mopping every 30 minutes
or so. When the chickens are done, the legs will move
freely and the internal temperature should be 165ºF.
Let the chickens sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the
skins, carve the chickens, and serve.

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.

Combine the butter and honey in a small pan or

4 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Prepare a low fire on the grill (over a hot fire, the
apples will scorch and their flavor will be bitter).
Combine the apples, crumbs, brown sugar, butter and
cinnamon in a bowl and mix well. Divide the mixture
between 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil and seal the
packets so no liquid or steam will escape. Grill the
packets, turning once, until apples are soft, about 20
minutes. Open the packets very carefully and serve
warm.
Caramelized Bananas
(TheVegetarian Grill)
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
4 bananas
Prepare a medium direct fire. Combine the butter and
brown sugar in a shallow dish. Peel the bananas, slice
in half lengthwise, then again crosswise. Add the
bananas to the butter mixture and toss very gently to
coat. Grill the bananas, turning ounce, until a crispy
brown coating of caramelized sugar forms on the
surface (about 5 minutes per side). Watch carefully;
don’t allow sugar to char. Remove from the grill and
serve hot.

How is hardwood charcoal different than
charcoal briquettes?
Generally speaking, manufacturers grind small pieces of natural charcoal
(not necessarily hardwood) to face powder consistency. Then they mix it
with 60% fillers (i.e., sand, straw, etc.). It is bound together with a
petroleum coating to hold its form. It takes so long to turn a gray ash color
because you must first burn off the chemical coating. Using lighter fluid
adds one more chemical to your cooking process.

How is natural charcoal made?
Hasty-Bake Hardwood Charcoal is 100% charred hardwood made primarily
from oak and hickory. These low-resin hardwoods have long been
recognized for their superior charcoal. They produce a very dense charcoal
that burns cleanly and gives a high amount of energy for its weight.
