The Kettle Grill Evolved

Works great! Not recommended by Huntsman as it could make it a risk to tip. However, for my review, it does/did not present a risk. Whether the wheels are locked or unlocked, in order to knock it over, it would take considerable effort and force. If the wheels are unlocked, the unit would roll, long before you could tip it over. However, in the grass, it would be easier if you were trying to tip it over, and you would still have to be trying to tip it. If you weigh enough to tip it over, when the wheels are locked, by leaning against it, as if it was an immovable object.... well your risk of diabetes or heart attack is probably a bigger risk than tipping it over. Just sayin. I had to rotate the ash bucket handle so it didn't contact the support, but that was no problem of course. It is right at 37 1/4 inches from the concrete to the top of the steel with the lid open, and about 5/8" from the top of the steel down to the cooking grate... so about 36 5/8" from concrete to grate. Perfect for me, at 6'-4"ish tall. I switched out the furnished 6 mm bolts with stainless steel bolts and washers. They just happen to be socket head. I switched them all to SS when I assembled the unit. If you do that, you better put anti-seize on the threads or you may be sorry later if you need to remove them. The only other affect I see from raising it is, the cover looks like someone wearing highwaters.

The lift kit was fairly easy to install and made a big difference in comfort standing at the grill. I was able to do it alone by use of a two-wheeled dolly (hand truck) and a motorcycle ratchet strap. Laying down and raising upright was smooth: All bolts tightened after uprighting.
Highly recommend the lift kit.

I was very skeptical of this at first. But man this thing thing is awesome! I smoked a chuck roast for 9 hours on this thing and it only used about 25% of the coals i put in using the snake method and the weber temperature control piece. The added space is great but the seal this thing puts on the grill is really the magic. Adjusting temperature overall is better, and i actually really do like the hinge. I hope this thing will last a long time because man i love this.

This is a solid grill and extremely versatile.

The best grill i have purchased. It is worth the money. Also comes with quality tools for assembly.

My first time using the huntsman was great, I did the rotisserie chicken wings and they turned out great! I can't wait to use it again. After I purchased the regular huntsman they came out with the new giant huntsman and I wish it was out at that time. Now I just need to convince my wife that we need two. Lol I'm working on it.

After 30 years of cooking on gas, I honestly never thought I would switch. Then I bought the Spider Grills Huntsman and it completely changed how I look at grilling.

I had used charcoal grills at parks and other places over the years, but never owned one at home. Gas was simple and predictable, and that felt good enough. Four cooks into the Huntsman, I can say with confidence I am not going back to gas.

It really does combine the best parts of a kamado and a kettle. You get impressive heat retention and control, along with the flexibility for direct grilling. What stands out most is the build quality. The materials, the finish, and the accessories all feel solid and well thought out. Compared to the typical kettle grills I have used, this thing feels built for the long haul.

The performance is incredible. A friend of mine who owns Hammerdown BBQ took one look at it and called it a beast. After cooking on it, I completely agree. The heat control and consistency make everything from hot sears to controlled cooks easy and repeatable.

The smart features are what truly set it apart. Being able to monitor the cook without standing outside the entire time is a huge upgrade. Grilling in February without freezing made the experience enjoyable instead of something to endure.

What surprised me most is how it pulled my family in. I introduced my teenage sons to charcoal grilling and they had a blast learning how to manage the fire.

This is easily the best grill I have owned. It converted a 30 year gas loyalist in just a few cooks. I have already recommended it to friends and will keep doing so. If you are considering charcoal or looking to upgrade from a standard kettle, this grill is absolutely worth it.

The Huntsman is simple, yet profound. Its Venom cradles temperature as steady as the speed of light while weaving heat, air, and time in perfect harmony. A unique unit, forged like a howitzer, with gentle care and deep thought, it bends fire to will and ember to innovation. Thank you, Spider Grills.

One of the best pits out there and i would buy it again…You want a tank of a pit thats going to last a life time Sprider Grills make it “””The Huntsman”””

Very heavy duty quality. Im very pleased with this purchase.

It works.

One of the best and smartest investments I’ve ever made, this product is the real deal, from the build quality, to the accessories and tu put the cherry on top, great customer experience, it exceeds expectations and that’s much appreciated.

Very nice! Thank you Spider Grills!

I was looking for a new power supply, I couldn’t find one under accessories. The assistant, took me to a category; store, at the bottom of the page, a place I never looked.

Works as expected and good quality!
