Hastings - Cart Model 290C
Description
The Hastings is Hasty Bake's outdoor cooking center, a cart-mounted charcoal grill built for the cook who wants the custom built-in look and the performance to match. Two individually controlled fireboxes let you run direct grilling and low-and-slow smoking simultaneously on a single unit, across 1,194 sq in of cooking surface. Folding stainless side tables, ample cart storage, and a rollback hood that opens completely out of your way make this the most capable cooker Hasty Bake makes. Built for serious outdoor entertaining.
WHY PITMASTERS CHOOSE THE HASTINGS
Two Fireboxes. Direct & Indirect. At the Same Time.
The Hastings' two individually controlled fireboxes let you sear steaks over direct heat on one side while slow-smoking ribs on the other, no timing juggle, no compromise between cooking methods. When you're smoking low and slow across the entire grill, one firebox is all it takes to do the job efficiently.
1,194 Sq In of Cooking Space
At 44" wide with a removable secondary warming rack that accommodates even the largest cuts of meat, the Hastings gives you room to cook for a crowd without ever feeling crowded. Remove the warming rack entirely when you need unobstructed space for oversized roasts or whole animals.
Rollback Hood. Full Access, Every Time.
The Hastings' rollback hood design gives you unobstructed access to the entire grilling area, no leaning around a lid, no awkward reach. When you're managing multiple proteins across a cooking surface this size, full access isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
Built to Last — 10-Year Warranty
A combination of 16 and 18-gauge stainless steel construction throughout, with 18 and 12-gauge stainless steel lift and firebox. Backed by a 10-year parts & workmanship warranty and built to the same standard as every Hasty Bake made in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Hastings 290C
After using it the first time I found it was impossible to snuff the coals as the temperature rose. I ended up having to leave the lid open for an extended period to avoid the grill staying in the red temperature zone. The front door for the firebox closest to the coals (about half full only) warped slightly on the first use. I guess it needs to be seasoned but I expect it to hold up to normal use easily and I should be able to snuff the fire to reduce the temperature without modifying the grill out of the box.
Hi Robert! We encourage you to watch our HB Fire Management video along with our most recent season of cooking videos done on a Hastings. Units this size have a different learning curve due to the amount of air inside the chamber and they definitely require some time to season due to being fully stainless steel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yMO-SRKul4&t=46s
Size does matter when you're cooking lots of food. Hastings is the way to go 100% I love it!
I have had mine for about 10 years and I cook on it at least 4 times a week so it has been well used to say the least. This thing is one of my prize possessions. I can cook for large crowds and the entire meal. Temperature control is amazing with the 2 heat zones. If you have cooked it anywhere I have probably cooked it on this as well.this thing is bullet proof and built to last a lifetime. If you feed a small army and want to feed them well this is the grill for you. It is a bit pricey but worth every cent.
Best feature, design and build quality of any BBQ. Period.
