I've had this grill for a little less than a month, and it's the first charcoal grill I've ever owned. I quite like it!
Putting it together was relatively straightforward, but I did have issues with the lid and latch. It took me a couple tries and I had to search online to find a video suggesting that I loosen the screws on the latch to get the lid to latch/unlatch easily. It was far too tight of a fit at first and was the only part of assembly that slowed me down.
After a few fits and starts, I think the grill and I have come to a good understanding of how to get to and hold my desired temperatures. I love how well the Venom works (as long as I give it enough fuel!).
Lots of reviews describing the Spider as a "Tank". Although it is probably the sturdiest unit I have ever seen, what really impressed me was Customer Service. I had a problem with a part malfunction. Contacted CS online Saturday afternoon, expecting a reply Monday. Instead received reply Sat. evening, further interaction Sunday and by Wednesday had the replacement part in hand. THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Finally got to pop the box lid today. I expected "bigger" than my 22" Weber but holy cow - this thing is massive!
Shipping took a few weeks. TFORCE tracking was useless - but - I received same day, accurate, responses from Spider Grills customer service as to the shipping status.
I had shoulder surgery last week, so I'm waiting for one of my boys to come assemble it tomorrow. I did manage to open the boxes and check out the accessories, Everything is extremely well built and seems exceptionally nice. So far I'm extremely impressed.
First cook was two large ribeyes. They were awesome! It was so easy to get the temp where I wanted it and regulate. Also when shut down all my coals were still good for another cook.
Charcoal, a medium i had gotten away from for the connivence of gas. I got the Spider because i wanted to go back, and how i missed the flavor, the nuances and greatness of cooking with charcoal. The ability of adding a few wood chunks to smoke, the ease of use with the Venom and overall better experiences of cooking over a fire with the added flavors. I traded a bit of time for a more memorable cook and will use the Spider moving forward.
