Ok this is sort of for Spark and those who seem pretty interested in the Hasty Bake. Hasty Bake was the first commercially available 'charcoal oven" Grant Hastings designed it....way back in 1948...they still use the basic design to raise and lower the fire box...I believe that the perfect one two punch is a pellet smoker and a Hasty Bake.
So Spark here is how I light mine.....there is a charcoal basket and a slide out solid tray....I create a gap and put bunched up newspapers and use the shelves as a chimney.
Started with some Strube Ranch Tri Tip seasoned with coffee balsamic glaze and Money rub...put on the very top shelf away from the fire...I am not using the deflector plate for this cook....cook until it hits 110 and then flip over......at about 115 I put the prime new yorks on seasoned with the garlic olive oil that I sell and double secret steak rub...
After about seven minutes turn the steaks over for about 5...then pull and rest...the tri tip was at 135.....Crank up the hasty Bakes fire box and go to town for about a minute or two a side.
Then put the steaks on about 90 seconds a side....
Lets look at the rested tri tip
How about the rested Steaks?
Lets slice into the Strube Ranch Waygu Tri Tip
And the plated dinner....Cauliflower with Jallelujah with bacon rub and string beans....Nice Balamic salad....
