HB250 PRO
HB:250 PRO - Estimated Ship Date - 1st Week of December
The HB:250 Pro is the go-to Hasty Bake for competition steak cookers. Designed in partnership with several world championship competitors in the Steak Cookoff Association (SCA), the HB:250 is extremely versatile, with precision intake and exhaust vents, a two-position firebox (7" or 4.5" from cooking grate), and a slide-in heat deflector that gives you the ability to sear on one side and bake your steak to perfection on the other. It comes equipped with a carry handle and latch for convenient transport. Cleanout is easy, with a removable firebox and ash pan to dump your coal and be on the road in minutes. Boasting Hasty Bake/SCA partnership badging, the HB:250 ships with custom GrillGrate-brand cooking grates and an elevated extender to get your food off the grates and achieve a full 150-degrees of difference from the searing position. Weighing just 30 lbs, the HB:250 is the competition cooker's dream, combining value, versatility, and the Hasty Bake flavor that has taken the SCA by storm.

I have only had time to do a burn in, so far, so I don't have an in-depth opinion of it's cooking capacity. I have some positives and negatives about my experience
Positives
- It lit and heated up very easily. It was up to 600 degrees very quickly and seemed very efficient
- Very heavy duty construction. Well made unit
Negative
- Burnt had trying to open the latch to the charcoal basket while burning in. Handle is too small to grab while grill is hot and latch is hard to open
- Charcoal basket was too small. I had to call customer support to get a new one.
All in all, I think I am going to like this grill. I am going to have to put a different latch on the charcoal door so I don't burn myself, but every other design element is top notch. This is a very high quality unit.
So much power in such a little grill!
This grill is awesome!!! Only minor issue was the charcoal handle broke as I was installing it.. it’s plastic- I’d love to see a better design but I easily replaced it with a metal cabinet handle.. even with that being said, I’d buy another one and highly recommend it to others!!!
If you are camping or just grilling for two at home, this is the best product I have found. Very high quality. I have a 25 year old version at my country house that is still perfect.
After a lot of research and talking to fellow bbq fanatics I was steered towards the HB250. After a few cooks I’m convinced. Amazing quality and craftsmanship. Very heavy duty construction. Aside from a great grill Hasty Bake also provided excellent customer service and communication. Got my eyes on the 357 Pro for my next one.
