Venom Temperature Controller

I have been using the Spider Controller for 2 seasons now. It is Awesome. I love to grill on Charcoal, although I do grill on propane as well. I live in NH, so temp. can be an issue while grilling. I usually cook Ribs, or Brisket. The Spider Controller has yet to disappoint me. Regardless of the outside temperature this unit has Always come through. I usually do not write reviews, but yesterday while cooking ribs, I had to comment on this product. This machine is Amazing. If I didn't have it, I would make a small adjustment to the Weber, and have to wait 10 -15 minutes for that adjustment to kick in, Not with The Spider. You set it and that's all you do (kinda takes the fun out of grilling), but the end result is Outstanding, especially here in NH, where temp could be an issue. The one thing I need to do is get together with the Verizon guy to get my router to 2.4., so I can use the phone app. I did buy the Battery Pack, such a Great Buy. No more dragging out cords for power. Anyway, I love your product and it works well. I would like to find more Recipes, and how to cook them.

My first cook was for 12 hours and the venom performed well. The next cook went poorly. I could not connect to the venom. After many attempts to reconnect to the network, I took my entire Weber kettle inside, set up a guessing network that only broadcasts 2.4 GHz And got the kettle reconnected. I submitted a ticket but the only response I received was “did you get it connected“.

Recently had another smoker grill give up the ghost by burning through the fire box. So I decided to go back in time to the most reliable grill and smoker I have ever had - a Weber Kettle but really wanted the ability to control temps well. After much research I decided to go with the Venom and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and capabilities of this product. You all have gotten it right in every aspect. The seal between the Weber and the Venom is exceptional. The control panel is easy, convenient and readable. The ashcan has a nice seal and his easy to attach and take off. The App is great too and the usability of the graph function, while I thought it would be mehhh, it does provide good information. So while I wanted the Huntsman I couldn't wait until October and this is a great middle ground option. Well done!! BTW I did some wonderful KC Strips cooked at just the right temp.

The best accessory for the Weber kettle ever made.

I'm an accessory junkie and this by far is my favorite.

A game changer. Accurate and easy to use.
