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.

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.
