Purchased this for my Weber 26. This and the cart has made my grill a beast! A must for any Weber owner

Just got the spider venom and installed to my Weber kettle grill. Pretty easy installation, though the tabs that hold it to the grill were a little difficult to set in their slots. A rubber mallet and flat blade screw driver did the trick though. I smoked an 18 lb pork shoulder for about 15 hours and the venom did quite well holding the temperature to the 250 degrees I was looking for. One small issue was the venom battery died during the night at some point so had to switch to direct power. I did have a problem turning it back on as the screen would show nothing but eventually it did reload. All in all a good experience. The venom definitely did its job of holding the temp and the pork shoulder came out perfect

Finally got to my first cook which was a brisket and pork butt. The temptation seemed to hold well and I like the alerts from the unit. Ordered the battery pack as well, charged it a week ago and went to use it and it was dead. Not sure if it holds power or not but will try again. My only complaint is when the fan comes in it’s a burst of air which then sends ash all over. A gradual blowing would be better.

The only upgrade to the Weber Kettle I’d recommend! I’ve done a couple cooks with it and it’s never missed a beat! Smooth process! I was actually using a shipping company to get this over to the UK. Spider Grills customer service went above and beyond to help me get everything I need to give to the carrier. 10/10 service and product

I've created a monster.... and I'm not done. = )

Installation was pretty easy, except I had to remove my kettle cart to get it on. Once on, all I had to do was light some coals and load up with charcoal, close the vent and lid, and wait for the kettle to come up to temp. Starting might be a tiny bit more involved than a pellet grill, but you could probably get rid of most of the prep by lighting a few coals on a firestarter directly in the grill. I’ve only done one smoke so far, but it was the easiest 6 hour smoke on baby back ribs I’ve done and the taste was miles ahead of my pellet smoker.

I now have one on my 22 and 26. Quality temp controllers which let me not be attached to my grills the whole day. 10/10 Recommend!

I recently bought venom controller and it's amazing. I used to smoke food on my 22" Weber Kettle grill manually. Meaning I was who controlled the temperature and it was time consuming especially on a long cook like a brisket or a pulled pork. With venom I can do my staff while it's control the temperature. And it's doing it really well (the temperature stays within +- 5F of a target).

Just cooked 2 chickens on rotisserie Webber grill. Took all the pain of me having to check the temperature the whole time. It was simple and makes me want to grill more often now.

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.

The Spider Venom Controller is a game-changer for anyone who owns a Weber kettle. I have purchased two units so far: one for my 22-inch Weber Kettle and another for my 24-inch Weber Summit Kamado S6, and they work like a charm. I fully recommend this product.

Had to adapt it to the weber kettle that my family purchased for me 15 years ago. This control makes low and slow cooking and smoking so easy. Set the temp on the app or on the control and it does the rest. Purchased the package with the battery and extra probe. Excellent device, easy app to use. Thank you for a great product made in America!!!!!!!!!

Simply amazing, it’s like a cheat code for any cook. I have the Weber Kamado E6, popped the old ash catcher off & installed the Venom without taking apart the kamado. Simply moved the ash sweep handle to the left side (so I could mount the Venom facing forward) & had to use a rubber mallet to tap the venom into place on the last tab (that was the only part that was hard) but understandable because I want that sealed tight. Buy with confidence and never have to second guess the vents… Again, VENOM = CHEAT CODE FOR GRILLING!!!!!

The Venom changes the slow cook game for a Weber grill. Before, I had to babysit the grill all day and essentially devote a whole day to cooking. Now I can set up a cook at night, the Venom pins the cooking temperature, and the bulk of the cook is done when I wake up. Finishing off is easy too, and I can still get things done while it cooks. The sensors and the app take all the guesswork out of what is going on under the lid. I never even peak in to check on the cook anymore until it is necessary to either wrap it or pull it off the grill. Full disclosure, I also added the only fire ceramic inserts and the Wooly Bully cover over the lid making my Weber kettle a serious smoking
machine. If you are interested in slow cooking on a Weber- these items are a game changer- especially the Venom. Pro tip- buy the package deal that comes with the Venom, the battery, and the additional sensor. Use the battery so power outages don’t affect the cook, and the extra probe just gives you more information.

Works exactly as described. First time using it I did a 10lb Pork Butt at 225°- it maintained the temp better than anything else I have ever used. Had multiple probes just to be sure it was dialed in correctly but everything matched.

It was a 12hr cook and I never had to worry about it- controlled it all from my couch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Overall I really like the product and the concept behind it. Do you need it for a kettle? No. Is it flippin sweet though? Heck yeah!

My only gripe was that there were some minor scratches/blemishes on the PID controller itself out of the box. Not sure if it was just a fluke from the production line or what. All it really needed was some plastic film over the controller to prevent that from happening during transit. Other than that I love my Venom!

I've owned this product for about a year it's a game changer. Being in Colorado some days the temperature is all over the place where you can start out the day at 60F, 3 hours later snow..... It's holds temperature amazingly steady. I've done slow cooks, fast cooks it doesn't matter how you like to set the coals, lose, basket, cone etc. Set it and forget it. I even use it with my rotisserie attachment to control the temperature. So with out a doubt, i would recommend 100% you buy it. I've uploaded a picture just to show you as on some sites there are misreading reviews

This is actually my second Spider Venom. I have owned one for about 2 years now and absolutely love it, so I bought another for my grill I keep at our lake spot! Now I’m making top notch BBQ while I’m on the lake fishing! Well done Spider Grills Team!

This is a game changer for the Weber Kettle! I absolutely love it. It keeps the temperature inside the kettle a consistent heat. I smoked my 1st pork butt using the Venom and was able to get the temp up to 225° and keep that temp consistently through the entire cook!
