The Kettle Grill Evolved

I had purchased a battery pack for my spider venom due to some cook offs not having electricity available. First one we did my battery kept shutting off after running for a few minutes. Battery was fully charged and I checked the plug and made sure it was on. Kept having the same issue. Contacted the company and they had me do troubleshooting but plugging in the the venom with the adapter. Worked just fine. So they sent me a new battery free of charge. Haven't tried it yet but hopefully it works better than the last. Thank you Spider Grills for the great support

Perfect fit on the cover. 5 stars because it is well made

I love this integration with the Huntsman. The components are well designed and high quality. It is a missing hook for the coal rake since you have to replace the hanger and the shallow distance from the coals requiring a little bit more attention. Nothing that you can’t live with.

This is a great kettle kamado and the integrations around the venom are awesome. I love this grill.

What’s been so great is the customer service. The guys genuinely care about their customers and fixing issues. The issue I had with assembly was fixed beyond my expectations. This is a product you can buy with confidence and it is a tank. It is built to last a long time. Pull the trigger.

Big upgrade from my pit barrel cooker.

Just cooked a 6 lb. chicken today. Everything is heavy duty. Using a battery is great so you don’t have to plug it in. 10/10!

I’ve had my huntsman for a couple weeks now and have no complaints. I’ve had a kamado grill before and it was a lot of work, you can’t just set the temp and walk away for awhile. This is very easy. Start your fire set your temp and you’re good. From low and slow to high temp sears the huntsman excels, and its built like a tank so i you’ll be using it for years to come.

I bought the Huntsman, the Next Level, the Side Shelves, and the cover at the same time and everything was shipped in one week. To say I was pleasantly surprised is a gross understatement, I was blown away. This grill is nothing short of awesome, the build quality is stellar. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is apparent throughout. I'm not going to repeat the same thing that everyone else says, "it's built like a t***!", but that goes without saying. I've had it a few weeks now and I have cooked brisket, chuck roast, smash burgers, sausage, ribs and pork butts. I'm still adjusting to cooking with it because I'm used to a pellet smoker which I'm not going to give up just because it's so damn easy sometimes. That's not to say that overnight cooks are an issue with the Huntsman, I did an overnight 19 hour low and slow pork butt last weekend that turned out awesome. I love this grill so much, I'm keeping it in the garage for now, haven't even tried the cover yet. All of my other cooking tools are outside. It just looks so damn good, I hate to put it outside! The Next Level is a must have as well as the side shelves. Thanks to Tom Horsman, I also bought the Outfitter's Edge 21 1/2" Grill/Skillet insert which is also a thing of beauty. At $77.00, you can't go wrong and it's a great addition, thanks Tom! Looking forward to many more cooks because the way this grill is built, it should last forever!

The Spider Grills Huntsman has been an utterly fantastic grill. Easy to assemble, high quality materials, and designed with foresight to ensure this will be a grill that will last forever unlike your typical smart grills where you're left with a pile of metal if the electronics ever break. It 22" Weber like design means that there are plenty of aftermarket parts designed for the classic Weber will be compatible with the Huntsman as well.

The Venom PID fan controller functions well with the thick walls and keeps the overnight cooking temperature steady without me having to tend to it. Just need to make sure it has enough charcoal and go straight to bed. A side door to the charcoal is the best thing ever for adding more charcoal and a great way to sneak in some foil wrapped potatoes during a low and slow cook. Already cooked 2 lumps of Pork Shoulders & 6 racks of ribs and each time the cook came out perfect with that wonderful wood smoke flavor. Next up, briskets and I have no doubt that it's going to perform perfectly!!!

I love to smoke and grill. I have had multiple different devices over the years. As many as 5 or 6 at one time. This is bye far my favorite. It can do it all it all, I love the battery pack. It is built to last. If I only had one grill this would be it!

My only two very small wishes. I wish it was a couple of inches taller. I know they had a beta riser set that is not currently available. I also would like a little better fit on the ash catch. Mine doesn't line up/ fit without a little work.

I give it a 9.5 out of 10!

I love this pit. Holds temperature extremely well. I've used this almost exclusively considering I have 3 other pits to choose from. It's so simple to use.

It’s been raining in Los Angeles I haven’t used it yet

This is a game changer for the Weber Kettle! I absolutely love it. It keeps the temperature inside the kettle a consistent heat. I smoked my 1st pork butt using the Venom and was able to get the temp up to 225° and keep that temp consistently through the entire cook!

Never thought a charcoal grill could get any better. I was amazed on how well this temperature controller made my Weber kettle even better. Smoking at 250 or searing a steak at 500.

Did my first smoke (pork shoulder) using this and it changed everything. In the past I was always keeping an eye on the grill temp, running out to fiddle with a vent here and there over the course of the cook. Kinda frustrating, No more. This is pretty much set it and forget it. It keeps the temperature where it needs to be, I'd check it here and there initially, see the temp drop and think that I've done something wrong, nope. Fan is on, working to get the temp to where it needs to be. Completed a 9 hour slow cook, no problems. I love this thing.
