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.
While I have only used the unit twice, both times it has worknperfectly. The battery pack does it's job as well. So far, I am very happy with both the controller and battery pack.
Works great! Keeps my Weber in a tight temp range for cooking anything.
Great product, maintains temperature, easy to use, and app works great.
I’ve tried them all, Traegers, master built (master crap) and the big green egg with no solution to what I was looking for until I came across the Venom. If you’re looking for a charcoal smoker and high temp grill under $1,000 this is the set up. Smoked brisket to seared elk steaks this has you covered. The only problem is the app, you have to constantly close the app and reconnect to the grill to watch temperatures and control the grill. If the app was “live” and on in the background I wouldn’t have a single complaint. Hopefully they fix it soon.
Hey Logan,
Appreciate the positive review an honest feedback. The app will automatically refresh the info when opening, but it can take a few seconds, and sometimes require reopening the app to force a refresh depending on network connection speeds and availability.We're constantly working on improving this experience and should have big updates in that direction this coming year. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team, as they may be able to help you troubleshoot and improve this experience in the short term. Thanks again!
