New The Huntsman Kettle Kamado Grill from Spider coming.


 
It is kind of a strange response, as the primary purpose of the SnS is to create a distinct direct sear side and an indirect side.

The response shown seems to imply that it is more for temperature control system or something. Just doesn't make a lot of sense...I don't need any other "temperature control" in my WSK either, but I have created a SnS type separator as one of my favorite charcoal setups is using the upper charcoal grate and coals on 1/2 and indirect on other. The "SnS" prevents the "sideways" directed cooking. Probably use this for 80% of what I cook.

Could you post a picture of your setup (should probably go in the WSK thread)? Always interested in different ways to use the WSK.
 
I think the response is strange also but there was also this response which I was talking about:

Yes!

I don't use a diffuser when I am doing ribs, rib eye roasts or pork butts I use indirect using the SNS Deluxe. I use water till I wrap don't refill after I wrap don't see what point that would be. I can run 275 pretty easilly which is my preferred temp might have to play around with the vents slightly but not really that much.

I like having the charcoal contained also making sure its not against the sides of the kettle easier cleanup also for any chunks that did not burn.

I am thinking that they may think that since the metal is so thick on the Huntsman vs the Weber kettle you should just bank the coals against the side of the grill for indirect or creating a hot spot. Also the vertical vs concave sides may also be helpful. Just thoughts
 
Well, I sure hope the first thing you guys do when you get them is a lot of cooks with a slow n sear. I believe we’ve only seen a piece of salmon and one pork butt done on the grill so clearly more food needs to be cooked different ways. It’ll be fun to watch..
 
SLOW N SEAR on the HUNTSMAN

Here's a quick, abbreviated video of someone doing burnt ends using a Slow-N-Sear on a Huntsman. A little different from how I have done them, but interesting. Seems like the SNS works fine. I received this link in an email from Spider, so they must approve:

 
He had a sledge hammer next to the Huntsman in one video, I hope he doesn’t hit it, but kinda hope he does.
I think they look like a lot of fun to play around with.
 
Looks like the interest in these cookers is legit!
I am excited.
Can Mr. Horsman not put his chops on with his bare hands then use the same hand to close the door? Jeez...😳
I let a lot of stuff go but I do have an issue with bacteria transfer when handling raw meat.
 
As a pre-order customer I am at least vicariously enjoying seeing Tom put the Huntsman through its paces. I look forward to sharing my own experiences later this summer.
 
YMMV for the free battery but for those wondering:

I preordered my Huntsman before Horseguy had one and gave a promo code for a free battery. I contacted Spider Grills and asked if I could get in on the Horseguy promo. They did it for me. Great service yet again, but YMMV. I can say that I've been a customer of theirs since the beginning and have bought their entire catalog almost so maybe that helped

Good luck!

Only concerns I saw, would like to see the brisket cook and the path of least resistance he mentioned on the smoke. I also think he babied the ash sweep when he opted not to use it and used the broom brush instead.
Interesting choice. Does the seasoning come off when you use it.

In the comments I asked if he could demo the ash sweep.
