I purchased one of these and it is absolutely superb quality to all other small grills. It is built like a tank! GREAT JOB HASTY BAKE!!! If treated correctly it will last FOREVER!!!!😀

I should be getting close to receiving mine. I have had Hasty Bake Grills for over 40 years now. This was a missing link great job.

Great video. Please do a walk thru of the Ranger

[@wayned3137]

I have a few suggestions and problem with it. Overall love this grill.

[@pde442]

Awesome video...wonder what kind of surface recommend setting grill on.....how hot does bottom of the grill get?

[@HastyBakeGrills]

great question! You can sit it on a plastic table, although depending on your cooking temp, it could make the plastic a little soft. It shouldnt melt thru - at least it didn't on ours. Placing it on a sheet pan or an aluminum table would ensure zero problems

[@johnmcelreath9406]

I need one

[@BigSteve93015]

Thanks for getting out in front of new user questions. I'll learn but perhaps you can tell us if the HB 250 is shutdown (vents & lid closed) will it snuff out charcoal? Mine arrives Thursday and I'm looking forward to putting it to work.

[@gosman949]

Report back to us on how it works. Looks like uneven legs on this review. Maybe he should have used a more solid surface.

[@davidmaier2051]

Closing the vents slowed the charcoal way down, but did not "snuff" mine out. I did find a pair of large grips/pliers was helpful in moving the coal pan out. My welding gloves were not insulated enough to handle. I put them in my ash bucket and sealed up for "snuffing" out. Hope this helps...though I am only two cooks in so far.

[@BigSteve93015]

@@davidmaier2051 Yes, that was helpful David, especially about the tools for emptying the fire basket.

[@HastyBakeGrills]

@@davidmaier2051 If its a 300-400 degree fire, it will likely snuff out. If its SCA temps (500-650) it will probably not completely close it out, as you discovered. A heavy duty set of welding gloves is a must, but pliers work great too!

@@gosman949 Camera perspective can make things look off sometimes. We assure you, nothing comes out of the factory with "uneven legs".

[@markdavies3645]

Ok. Now, when will mine arrive? Also, when you put that chimney in, is there some unlit charcoal on the fire grate?

[@davidmaier2051]

I put a full chimney in my first cook and it was all the heat I needed. Held 500-600 for a long time....maybe 75-90 min. My second cook, I tried a half chimney and only got 400-500 for about 45 min. Then it leveled off around 400 on the sear side and 275 on the cool side....that will be good enough for pork and chicken.

@@davidmaier2051 Great info thx.

[@HastyBakeGrills]

we recommend a whole chimney of lit coal to get you to your steak cooking temp. Vents can make fine adjustments from there. We're dumping all lit coal in, no unlit inside.

[@guythecookingsam2588]

Peel that plastic for the customer. That was a not great excuse.

[@gosman949]

Too pricy. Should be about $300.

[@davidmaier2051]

I thought that too until I got it....it is built like a tank and the grill grates and heat deflector is a game-changer from other small portables. Just my impression from the first two cooks, but so far, I think it is a fair value for the quality.
