The entire point of purchasing this was for the convenience of setting it and forgetting it. I wish I did a little more research on Reddit. Had I known the app for the controller was awful before, I never would've bought this. Walking outside in the middle of single digit snowy nights was not fun. The app is easily the weakest link and constantly has connectivity issues. Contacted support a few times and eventually gave up because they wanted me to create a new series of tickets.
Hey Maya,
We're sorry to hear you've had trouble connecting. We know we have work to do on the app and Venom connection, and we are close to releasing some major updates here. As for support, unfortunately, we need certain data to accurately troubleshoot and can only collect new data each time a ticket is submitted. We often ask customers to submit a quick 'update' ticket so we can gather the most recent data from our troubleshooting attempts to help pinpoint an issue. We strive to be as efficient as we can, but connection issues can sometimes be a 'needle in a haystack' situation. If you'd like to reach out again, we'd be happy to help you continue to resolve the connection troubles.

Like most of us - tending a webber kettle to ensure the proper cook temperature is a tedious part of long cooks. Ribs, Brisket, or anything that takes multiple hours was painful and prevented me from doing long cooks very often.
However, after a couple of test cooks with the Venom, I can say I'm both a true believer in the accessory, and can now treat my weber more like an oven. The Venom maintains temperatures so well that I just set it and forget it. In addition, the WiFi application allows me to monitor the cook from anywhere on my property that the signal reaches.
Finally, I found that I can easily do reverse sear cooks by keeping the low and slow temparature until the right moement, and then raise the temperature with the venom to get coals to the correct temp for the sear.
I only whish I had purchassed the Venom long before now.
Purchased a combo however had to follow-up with company to get the 2nd part of the combo shipped. Also, the kit I purchased did not fit together as depicted in many images. Room for improvement.
Hey Sean,
Apologies for the delay in getting the Pizza Oven to you due to an internal error. We appreciate the feedback are working to shore up any gaps in our order fulfillment process. Any Pizza Oven fitment issues are due to design differences between the Huntsman Grill and WebCraft Ring and do not affect the proper function of the Pizza Oven, Venom, or Webcraft. However, we do take this kind of feedback seriously and will work to make sure these differences are clearer in our product images. Thanks again for your input!

The Spider Venom Controller was easy to install and keeps grill temps perfectly in range for low and slow cooks. Added bonus: the fan quickly brings the grill back up to temp after adding fuel over a long cook .
Forget about the other temperature controllers on the market for a Weber 22 charcoal grill because the Spider Venom dominates in the following areas:
(1) Ease of Installation
(2) Simple Operation or Easy to Use
(3) Pit Probe and One Meat Probe included
(4) Get the optional battery pack for extreme portability
Once installed properly, I found that the Spider Venom held temperature ranges at 250 degrees and also 350 degrees easily and accurately.
If you are on the fence, spend your money once and get this temp controller for your Weber 22. You will never look back to regret your purchase!
