Compliments my 26" Weber set-up. I highly recommend.
Just remember to buy the required adapater clips if you are buying this for a 26" Webber kettle.
I like it so far, great concept and fun to use. Toward the end of the first cook, the connection to the app dropped and I could not reconnect. That was my fist and only cook so hopefully I am able to get it sorted. I saw the reviews about the app from reviews over a year ago and hoped they were fixed. Apparently not. I am going to stick with it but that was disappointing.

I received a new weber master touch for Christmas and seeing the Spider venom temp controller was super excited about it. After using it a few times I'm not very impressed with it at higher temps doesn't seem to get the high temps and hold them. works good from about 375 and below but the temp reading will sometimes jump eight to ten degrees instantly with no temps in between at the higher temps. The fan will be on and the temp will be continually dropping don't know what to think about that great concept but needs some improvements.
Hey MH,
Thanks for the feedback! This sounds atypical of what our customers usually experience. If you'll reach out to our customer service team, we'd love to help you troubleshoot these issues and get you cooking at top temps. Hope to hear from you soon.

I’m 67, I own a total of 14 grills, smokers (propane, electric, pellet) pizza ovens, even an infared fryer. I have been looking at the Spider Venom for some time now, watching You Tube videos reading reviews (both customer and chef). With so many grills on my deck and patio, making a new purchase has to be well thought out, my wife constantly complains that we have no space left on the deck. I’ve agreed to limit my purchases now to 1 per year. This year was the venom. Without a doubt, this one was the best purchase of all !. This unit is compact, east to install and well built. It took just 15 minutes to install. It does everything that Spider says it will, holds temperature like nothing else I’ve seen, I’ve owned several bbq gurus and they don’t even come close. I purchased my unit from Amazon, not because it was cheaper, same price as Spider web site, but because I could have it the next day. I wanted it now, patience is not one of my virtues. That being said, after installing the Venom and cooking with it, I was looking through the Spider web site, and saw the “Affiliate package”, I was so bummed out, could have gotten the battery for on $20 more, this package wasn’t offered on Amazon. Next year, the battery is #1 priority. I sure wish I would have purchased the Venom sooner, but better late than never, this thing is truly set it and forget it.
If you decide to purchase one( and you should) and don’t mind waiting for UPS or FedEx to deliver, I recommend looking at the Affiliate package and taking advantage of getting the battery foe just$20 more, wish I had !
The Spider Grills Representative was absolutely awesome, professional and prompt in processing a replacement control unit and sending me the specific disassembly/assembly instructions to ensure everything was done correctly. Their were no questions asked and no delays, part was received within two shipping days, this Company is rock solid in quality and customer support.
