100% agree Tom. We as a society at one point prioritized price over American jobs and quality. We’ve lost so much industry to overseas competitors that I’m not sure if we’ll ever see a point where American industries will thrive again! Love the small businesses that charge more for a superior product. Buy once, cry once.

Just found your channel. After a few years with a Rectec, I’m heading back to charcoal. I was set to get the Weber kamado, but I think the Huntsman is it. Great videos. Simple. To the point. No bs.

Man this looks like a great grill. Extremely overbuilt, made to last, and with the right features. I wish they would ship these to Europe. Hopefully one day! If any spider grills employees read this, I have two suggestions: - offer a kit to allow easy installation in an outdoor kitchen. Some thick steel brackets to replace the legs, or something along those lines. - consider offering a version without the venom, with just a vent. Some people want tech and automation, some people just want a simple grill that they control themselves.

My 22” kettle vent/ash scrapers have bent from pieces of charcoal that sneak through the grate and have frozen up from grease/sauce build up. They’re cheap and easy to replace. This looks to have the same style scraper. Is that vent controlled by the venom or is it still a manual control? Where’s the air come in and does the grill care where you load your charcoal for indirect cooking? Thanks again. Waiting for that brisket video to drop. 😋 🥩

@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ 2 ай бұрын

The sweep can be used however as I showed in the video it easier to just brush the ash into the bin. The bottom vent is closed when using the venom it controls air flow with the fan. All you do is set the top vent. Thanks again for watching!

Wondering about ash. I have the Weber Kettle with the Venom and whenever I use lump charcoal for a period of time, ash tends to blow on the food. This is particularly true if you do a short cook the night before and do not empty the ash pan (just sweep the grill with the grill sweeper). Charcoal does seem to be better and obviously emptying the ash pan after every cook tends to alleviate the problem (I saw you using a hand broom which is an excellent idea). What is your experience with the Huntsman?

@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! The flatter bottom and straight sides leave the majority of the ash away from the sweep unless you are set up in the center. Haven’t noticed any ash being blown around. Good question

@stevegee_smokinpapasteve 2 ай бұрын

I'm still debating about getting this as I would like to see others doing a low and slow cook. The price of $749.00 sounds good but I, and I think others, would want to use this as a smoker so at the minimum you would have to add $150.00 for the deflector kit. And of course shelves are needed so that's another $150.00 making it over a thousand bucks. It is a-la-carte pricing.

Great info Tom. I'm considering the Huntsman or the Recteq Bullseye Deluxe to add to my arsenal. Yes, two different fuels but as there are limited reviews/feedback on the Huntsman, I'm having trouble deciding. As a 'one grill to do it all' grill, what are your thoughts?

Tom The spider Venom that is shipped out without the Huntsman does stop at 550 for the max. I confirmed this on mine yesterday. Also It didn't have the low 150 setting it was 220 I think. Turning to the left did not work on my venom controller. Spider did say there is more to come soon. Hopefully a update will be possible for a controller I bought less than a month ago.

@Bill-N-Carolina 2 ай бұрын

I’m curious about the efficiency of the grill. I get that it’s thick steel, but how much does it take you to heat it up. I have a thick offset that takes a large fire to get it up to temp but once it’s there it’s pretty steady. I assume it’s similar. Based on your comment about the Weber claiming to be a Kamado tells me you’re not a fan or you’ve never tried it. Would love to see the efficiency comparison. I can burn all day and night on not much lump in the Weber Kamado.

@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ 2 ай бұрын

I paid $250.00 for my AK, but have not seen a new one for that price in a long time My AK is very efficient, but in less than one year, I had to replace the controller and the ambient temp probe. The wifi/bluetooth is awful when it works. I would never buy another one, especially with the awful customer support. My Spider Venom on my kettle is awesome. I can control it from anywhere my phone has a cell signal. When there were issues with my Venom on programming, the company responded to me within minutes on a Saturday. Chargriller took 2 weeks just to start a claim.. Also, the Huntsman grate is more than 20% larger than the AK main grate. My Spider Venom works so well on my kettle, and with my numerous accessories, I cannot justify the Huntsman at this time.
