This question is for Max Good , have you got your hands on the new Hasty bake barrel smoker..

Haven't heard of that one. I have a message into HB for info.

[Max Good]

Holmespro96 You are correct sir! Hasty Back hopes to roll out Roughneck by the end of the month. Of course we will cover it, but we're a little backed up now and can't start until after the holidays. Stay tuned!

[mrichie1229]

Here, here! Maybe instead of the monthly give away, you get the opportunity to review a piece of equipment. Could be a new smoker, could be a new oven mitt. You roll the dice each month...

[Max Good]

I appreciate your enthusiasm guys. Be careful what you wish for. Doing an AmazingRibs.com Review ain't no backyard BBQ.

[ecowper]

I prefer to let the AR pros do the equipment reviews. :-)

[Holmespro96]

Thanks...

I pre-ordered one. They are supposed to ship mid December.

[Razor]

How’s this thing work? Is it designed to primarily hang meet from, like PBC, or racks, like a WSM?

Hard to tell from the description and photos. The grates look like they only cover half of the available cooking space.

[70monte]

It comes with a full top grate to lay meat on and also comes with a hanging rack so you can hang meat. You can get a second full lower grate as an accessory.

Here ya go sports fans, Hasty Bake posted this intro video yesterday: (3) Kent Rollins Roughneck Barrel Smoker - YouTube

If MCS has it's power over you keep in mind that they also offer a 10% discount for Military and First responders..........yay to them for their recognition.

Even though the vid claims the grates are cast iron, apparently something prompted a change.........they now list the grates as laser cut stainless steel, and the second set add on is out of stock for now.

[CHNeal]

Well crap….I’m a kettle guy…I’m a kettle guy…I’m a kettle guy…

[Livermoron]

Military discount, eh?

Hmmm....

[Bkhuna]

I have desired a Hasty Bake for years and with retirement looming this may just be the gift to myself.

[Jfrosty27]

Oh geez. I WILL resist! I WILL resist! I WILL resist! Yeah right….. 🙄🤦♂️

[Craigar]

Soooo a thermometer is an option? I will have to talk to my local dealer to see if he will be receiving any floor models so I can go kick the tires.

[CHNeal]

How about when I get a chance and can plan a trip up I reach out and maybe we can gab lunch at the bbq place?

[Craigar]

CHNeal Ha! Yeah, I know the feeling. Every time I head over there to stock up charcoal, my wife always tells me, "NO MORE RUBS OR SAUCES UNTIL YOU USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE!" Ha! Since I'm not good at following directions, I usually come home with a rub or sauce. Every other trip I usually pick up some duck fat spray.

[Craigar]

CHNeal I will PM my number.

[Uncle Bob]

Above I made the comment that the grate material changed just recently. Yesterday, on their FB page the story about the iron works pulling the rug out was told: (6) Facebook

Here's a pic of the new lazer cut grates:

[ecowper]

Those grates are purty! I could see this replacing my WSM 22

[70monte]

My Roughneck came with the cast iron grates but I ordered these as well and they are very nice. Very well made and should last forever.

That slide out firebox and wheels makes for a really great design. Plus, the overall patina look sure is pretty. Well done Hasty Bake.

I wonder about how tight the box is given Hasty’s propensity for leaks though. This is probably the biggest reason to hold back IMO.

The price is expensive but not hugely out of line given the higher-quality construction. Maybe ol’ Kent is taking a discount on his royalty check.

[Uncle Bob]

It doesn't leak much air/smoke. The simple design probably contributes. The seals on the lid and fuel compartment door work well. There is a small amount of leakage where the upper front panel and the main body are joined. Some RTV squished in behind will probably take care of that if it's a worry.

[CHNeal]

I preach the word of the Weber Kettle, but when it’s dark and quiet my mind wanders to thoughts of a Lang 36-48 patio. I’m guessing there will be one of these next to the Lang in my next dream…

[mrichie1229]

Don't think of it as cheating; it's just some harmless flirting. That is until you bring that Lang home...

[Oak Smoke]

I just saw a 36 Lang on Craigslist for $850.

The lid and door have gaskets on them so there is no leaking. It's also very fuel efficient. I have done one cook so far on mine and it turned out very good. I'm doing a rack of ribs on it tomorrow.
