The Hasty-Bake
Philosophy
For over 50 years we
have been leaders in the
barbecue industry. It is our
belief that superior flavor and
healthier meals are a result of
using pure, chemical-free
hardwood charcoal. Petroleum
products have their place. But,
given the choice, why taint the
flavor of your food? We prefer
to enjoy great campfire flavor
as it was intended!
Hasty-Bake Hardwood
Charcoal, used in conjunction
with our Hasty-Bake Charcoal
Ovens, is a winning
combination! You can grill,
bake or smoke a variety of
foods to perfection including
red meats, fish, vegetables,
fruits, stews, and even breads.
Imagination is
the only limitation!

How is hardwood charcoal different than
charcoal briquettes?
Generally speaking, manufacturers grind small pieces of natural charcoal
(not necessarily hardwood) to face powder consistency. Then they mix it
with 60% fillers (i.e., sand, straw, etc.). It is bound together with a
petroleum coating to hold its form. It takes so long to turn a gray ash color
because you must first burn off the chemical coating. Using lighter fluid
adds one more chemical to your cooking process.
How is natural charcoal made?
Hasty-Bake Hardwood Charcoal is 100% charred hardwood made primarily
from oak and hickory. These low-resin hardwoods have long been
recognized for their superior charcoal. They produce a very dense charcoal
that burns cleanly and gives a high amount of energy for its weight.
The wood is stacked in large steel ovens where the temperature inside rises
to approximately 900ºF, which
cooks the liquors out of the
wood. The wood
becomes carbonized –
creating natural
hardwood charcoal.
