The Legacy - Model 131 - Black Powder-Coated Finish

I did a lot of research and finally pulled the trigger on my first Hasty Bake grill - a Legacy Model 131. I was a little nervous since I have not had great experience with charcoal in the past. Last Sunday I smoked a brisket and it turned out fantastic! The rumors are true - Hasty Bake makes the best and most versatile grill on the market!!!

I have issues with the drip rod. First, it should be an inch longer. Second, it should be noted that you really don’t need it unless you’re smoking food. The length is my biggest issue. Otherwise, it’s just a matter of learning how to cook with it and I’m loving it!

Everything about the order process was smooth! Assembly was a breeze (and I'm awful with assembly). The instructions and customer service could not be better.

But the best part, is the actual smoker. I've used it almost everyday so far. So easy to control the fire and the temperature, even when it's snowing outside.

I could not be happier with my purchase!

Good quality grill that allows you to cook anything from low and slow to hot and fast and everything in between with ease. Very happy with my purchase and everything has came out tasting very good.

The Hasty Bake Legacy 131 promised to be the ultimate all-in-one charcoal grill and smoker, and in many ways, it delivers. The build quality of the grill and racks is impressive, and it handles both grilling and smoking well. However, I was disappointed to find a misalignment between the top lid and body, leading to an improper seal and excessive smoke leakage. Additionally, the rear left leg doesn’t sit flush on a flat surface, affecting stability. For a brand known for quality craftsmanship, these issues are unexpected and frustrating.
