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 one 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 in 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).
THERMOMETER (6)
Accurate to within 2%, this stainless steel bi-metal thermometer helps you maintain your desired cooking
temperature.
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 DRAFT VENTS (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.
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.
