How does a Hasty-Bake compare to a gas grill?
In general, gas grills are convenient and good for fast, high temperature cooking only. A Hasty-Bake is a multipurpose charcoal-burning grill that not only grills but also bakes and smokes, offering you much more versatility. Hasty-Bake’s adjustable fire box and grease drainage system allow greater control of temperature and help eliminate flair-ups, which are common complaints about most gas grills. While a Hasty-Bake can use any type of charcoal briquette, we recommend hardwood charcoal, which has you ready to start cooking in 10-15 minutes without the use of lighter fluid. Foods cooked on a Hasty-Bake capture a natural smoked flavor that a gas grill cannot duplicate.
