Getting Started

1 Open the hood and dual draft vents.

2

Excess grease build up should be removed from the

 

 

top of the heat deflector and the grease drain to

 

prevent grease fires.

3 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.

4 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!

5 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.

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.

Hardwood Charcoal

Hasty-Bake Hardwood 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.

Firelighters

Firelighters are oversized kitchen matches made of fine wood particles coated with paraffin which burn 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.
