Have always wanted a Hasty Bake. Just under a year ago I purchased the Legacy 131 and at first loved it. Now, I'm seeing some surface rust on the lower powder coat. The firebox doesn't slide out smoothly anymore. The drip rail keeps falling out of place and/or gets filled up with stuff and it burns. It is great for grilling and reverse sear. Low & Slow is a no go. I have yet to be able to keep a fire below 300*. I ended up buying a pellet smoker for the Low & Slow. Overall? I wouldn't purchase again.
Hi Bill - surface rust on the lower base is almost always a result of failure to clean the ash out of the grill. When ash gets damp with humidity or rain, it can become corrosive and eat through the powdercoat. A quick, light sanding and touch-up with stove paint will seal it up, but frequent cleaning is definitely the correct way to ensure this won't become a problem. Same with the grease drain system - scraping it out when you clean your grill grates will ensure you never have a flair up and it will drain efficiently. If the drip rail is falling out of the hole, it's likely either installed backwards or placed level in the rotisserie hole rather than the upper drip hole on the right-hand side. As for your firebox, you've likely installed the firegrate upside down. If you flip it over and place it back in the firebox, it won't catch on the lift mechanism.

Smoked some ribs which came out awesome then grilled some chicken thighs the next day and they too came out great. The versatility of the grill is what makes it great. The easy access door to load coals is another major plus. It's a quality built grill. My brother has had one for over 7 years and I asked him, looking back would you haven gotten the Hasty Bake again? "Yes I would, I love it!"
This is a heavy duty grill. it’s well made and I’m sure it will last a long time.
Best grill I've ever owned! Bar none!
Overall very nice well built grill, will last many years iam sure, so far just been grilling, easy to light the charcoal, I think it will be easy to clean ,so far very happy with my new hastey bake
