Love it best for I’ve ever made with very little supervision of meat chicken crispy steaks super juicy tiger prawn shrimp mega flavorful. I’m ready to tackle my arch nemesis the brisket with confidence

I got the grill and assembled it with ease. Got the shelf attachments and one of the bolts sheered off as I was trying to remove it. It was the only one, but I had to drill out the old bolt in order to get the shelf to fit. Outside of that, it’s been a great experience cooking.

Been using an offset stick burner for over 10 years and it was getting tired / long in tooth. I had added some modifications that made it a true workhorse (blower fan and controller). In replacing my old unit, I wanted something that would provide a similar closed-loop set-up for those long cooks. After much research and deliberation I pulled the trigger on the Huntsman. After receiving my new unit via FedEx (no backorder here as it arrived super quick), I have to say that I am completely blown away with this cooker!!! Build quality is by far better than anything I have ever seen - it is a beast! Well packaged (yes - it is heavy so plan accordingly), assembly was straight forward (the included tools are a very nice touch) and absolutely zero issues with any of the components - including the side tables, lift kit and next level cooking system (all of which I highly recommend if you can swing it). So far I’ve done wings, baby back’s and beer can chicken - and never had a better result with such little effort. The Venom controller just gives confidence in cooking low and slow, but the flexibility of this thing is where it really shines in my opinion. It can do it all! If you are in the market and love charcoal cooking, do yourself a favor and consider the Huntsman - I sure am glad I did! 10 stars indeed!

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.
