Hasty Bake Gourmet Dual Finish Charcoal Grill Review
Ok, I don't know how to begin with this other than by saying one day in 1948 a fellow by the name of Grant Hastings was struck by lightning in Tulsa, Oklahoma and survived it. He founded Hasty Bake and the world is a better place.
This is a design that has not been improved upon in 60 years. Any model they make is built to the same standards and employs the features Hastings designed into the first models: The ventless hood, adjustable firebox, v shaped cooking grate and grease run off bar to control grease buildup and flareups.
Not to mention the spent ash holder which is conviently the exact size of a sheet of Heavy duty Reynolds wrap, which makes cleanup a breeze.
But engineers appreciate good engineering...the rest of us...what the h? What does it taste like and why should I lay out this kind of dough for one? I'll tell you why. With these ovens, yes, they are ovens, you will taste what Grant Hastings calls "campfire flavor" and I can tell you honestly having cooked on a Gourmet for 17 years, there is nothing like it.
I think any "Bake" will serve you well but I will say I would get the biggest cooking surface you can and compromise on the stainless and the glass.The glass has to be cleaned every time you use it. The stainless you'll want to,"while you're at it." The upper level on my Gourmet is very under utilized.
Couple more things:
1/ Take my rotisserrie, please
2/ If you're getting powder coated steel..read the directions as to it's care and don't ruin it, like I did.
Bon Appetite!
3/ Take my briquettes, also
