Rank all of your friends and family on how strong their back is. Make a second list of your friends and family who are good at reading and can follow directions. Compare the 2 lists. Do you see any names that appear on both lists? Invite those friends over. Pour one of your favorite beverages for them to enjoy. Tell them a story where at the end of the story you say:
"Friends help friends move. Real friends help friends move books."
Everyone will laugh. Then tell them it's time to put the grill together. Make a few jokes about "lifting with your back", but be sure to clarify that it was a joke before they actually lift anything so that no one gets hurt.
Figure out who can read the best of everyone there. Then have them read the instruction manual and be sure that everyone follows it carefully.
Put that grill together and cook some meat!!

I've had a Weber 22" Kettle Performer for years. I've always loved the indirect grilling option it provided. The Huntsman not only lets you grill indirectly but with the multilevel grilling configurations, ceramic plates in the next level accessory kit and Venom temperature regulator with bluetooth app allows you to effortlessly do slow cooking and even smoking. Not to mention it is built like a tank-couldn't be happier!
Simply put, this is the best damn grill on the market. Not only does it sear and smoke, it can do that with a range from low and slow to thermonuclear. This spider flat out cooks. Best of all, it does so smartly. By that I mean it’s an actually wi-fi enabled smart grill with set it and forget it temperature control. So while your neighbor fusses to no end with his metric ton of red or green ceramic kamado, the huntsman lights in minutes and holds a temperature for hours, or raises and/or lowers it in minutes if you need to adjust your cook. All this without being a fragile giant piece of pottery or needing to even be next to it. You can grill from your phone if you want. So go watch the game or cut the grass. You don’t need to stress. This thing is built like a tank and could likely even take a tank round and keep on cooking for an entire platoon of people. The build quality is en fuego. Every part of it from the venom temperature adjustment unit, to the spring loaded lid is thoughtfully designed and made of quality materials. The Huntsman makes a Weber look like a child’s toy by comparison. My neighbor won’t stop asking about it and he has everything to include green Egg, Weber gas and charcoal grillls and a smoker. More importantly, family and friends will love everything that comes off of it!
One piece of advice, go ahead and order the battery, side shelves and grill lifts to make it a dash taller. You won’t regret it. I ordered the lower shelf and ceramic pieces too, but t l be honest, I surprisingly haven’t needed either of them. I’ve cooked a tomahawk steak, burgers, salmon, chicken thighs, veggies and a whole chicken to perfection at temps ranging from 250 to over 550 with no issue. Stop researching. This grill is the best of both worlds, the love child of a Weber and a Bastard grill, and its offspring is a beautiful giant spider that will conquer the grilling world!
I love the build quality, unmatched. Its a Smart Weber Kettle on steroids. 2 cooks in first 24 hrs, no problems at all. Best advice, BE PATIENT when pre-heating. You’re heating up alot of metal and it takes time to get steady temps, not too long. Very efficient once temp is steady. I’ve had at least 30 grills and smokers over the last 25 years or so, this one is right up there near the top. It may be at the top, pretty original idea when coming up with this considering it has the front door and thick metal build. Everything is overbuilt which is a good thing, from the bolts, the actual body, the grates, the lid lift assist, the handle, everything. I LOVE THIS COOKER. Its convenience and build quality and accessories are enough to keep it both interesting enough to use over the years and as ive said, the front door is great to use. Quality machines like this make it enjoyable and a pleasure to use for years and years to come. Its also a great conversation piece when company comes over.
Awesome pit! Well built! Great employees! Great customer service!
The controller hasn’t worked since I got this. I’ve submitted numerous tickets to help resolve and they get closed with no contact. The last one said closed because “priority low“. Not making that up, that’s actually what it said.
Save your money
Hey Cary,
Sorry you've had a bad experience so far! I wanted to clarify a couple of things here:
1. All tickets are considered low priority intitially. This is just for internal tracking in case we need to elevate a ticket for further follow up.
2. We've responded to both of your tickets within 24 hours and received no replies which is why the tickets are getting closed. Not sure why you're not receiving our replies, but it could have something to do with your account privacy settings.
I've reached out to you directly via email to resolve these issues and get your controller up and running. Looking forward to speaking with you.
