My second cook. 10 stars. I love how easy it is to pour the charcoal. Set the temp. And enjoy the results

I bought the huntsman with the side shelves, NextLevel, rotisserie and cover. Started putting it together early afternoon yesterday. A LOT of boxes with the accessories (and a lot of Styrofoam and cardboard) to get rid of but everything arrived in perfect condition. Once I got the grill together, I spent nearly 2 hours getting the hinge lock out. Note: tighten that bolt super tight to get it out. I think that is a poor design on the lock. A simple pin would work and be way less frustrating. One of the side tables took nearly an hour to install (hint: wiggle the bolt around).

I have a gas grill and a dyna-glo barrel offset smoker. I only do a few smokes a year because of the time and effort chasing THAT perfect temp. When I did the 400 degree seasoning, the temp held steady at 399.

Today I did a NY strip (and a skirt steak for tacos the next couple days). I did the coals on one half. Heated to 400, put the strip on with one of the temp sensors. Set the Android app for 110 internal. I let it go to 115 and then moved to the lower level directly over my lump charcoal for a minute or 2 on each side. Ended up a bit too done, I like very rare. But cooked freshly dug up potatoes and picked peppers from the garden along with. The steak was literally the most juicy and flavorful steak I've ever cooked. After usually doing steak on my propane grill, this cook blew me away. Steaks have gotten boring, this bright back my love of a great steak that is better than any restaurant steak! Well done Spider.

The grill was better than expected! Even shipped within 2 days of purchase and when freight was having trouble scheduling deliver due to spam blockers they reached out personally to ensure the product got delivered. Top notch company!!

I couldn’t be happier with my Giant Huntsman. The build quality is outstanding, and the multiple grill heights give you a ton of control and versatility when cooking over charcoal. The Venom attachment takes it to another level by regulating airflow and maintaining temperature, while the live temperature probe monitoring and Wi-Fi connection through the app make it incredibly easy to keep an eye on a cook without hovering over the grill.

I’ve been cooking on a Weber for decades, and the Huntsman is a massive upgrade in just about every way. It still gives you everything you love about cooking over charcoal, but with far more control, capability, and technology. This thing is an absolute beast and, in my opinion, the Cadillac of charcoal grills. Very impressed with the purchase.

I love Kamado and have had 2 but both cracked over time including structural cracks. I looked for something that wouldn’t crack. The Huntsman is built like a tank!! No way will it crack. Such a superbly designed product, every detail thought of. Bolts all sorted and placed in cardboard to a deluxe tool kit. Parts all fit perfectly without issue. Instruction booklet was written in the USA and is super clear diagrams and easy to follow. I was so
Impressed with the installation and zero headaches.
Even included seasoning kit. Everything just worked and I reverse seared a tomahawk to perfection!!! I don’t miss my Kamado at all and this is the perfect replacement.
