It started around a fire in Athens, Georgia.

The Beginning

2019 • Athens, GA

Engineers. Grillers. Problem Solvers.

A handful of engineers who happened to be charcoal obsessives founded Spider Grills in Athens, Georgia. The frustration was simple: live fire tasted better, but holding a temperature meant babysitting the coals all day. They were sure there was a better way.

Kettle command, without compromise.

The First Smarter Kettle.

Spider Grills introduced the Venom®, bringing app-connected temperature control and precision airflow management to the classic charcoal kettle. For the first time, grillers could enjoy authentic charcoal flavor with the confidence and convenience of modern technology.

Reimagining the Charcoal Grill.

The Huntsman® combined the simplicity of a kettle with the performance of a kamado, integrating advanced temperature control directly into the grill itself. Built from heavy-duty steel and engineered for versatility, it established a new standard for charcoal cooking.

What we stand for.

  • Real fire, always.

    There’s something timeless about cooking over live fire—a connection to food, flavor, and tradition that simply can’t be replicated.

  • Built to outlast us.

    Built from durable materials and engineered for long-term performance, our products are made to become part of family traditions for years to come.

  • Cooks come first.

    We meet grillers where they are, building products that complement the fire, flavor, and traditions they already know and love.

  • Better, on purpose.

    We don't add features for the sake of features. Every decision is guided by one question: does this help create a better cooking experience?
