Thanks for your review, great as always. Your kettle mod ideas are good food for thought. I smoked a brisket point yesterday with my newly received Venom combined with my go-to kettle tools including Gabbys Grill Smokebomb, and Smoke-EZ stacker. It came out awesome. I especially like the fact that it saves on coals. The remote phone app feature was especially useful when I drove across town after wrapping and could still monitor the cook temps on the probes via 5G and WiFi. While I also have their kettle pellet attachment from their earlier days, I prefer the Venom due to all of the benefits of cooking with charcoal. Looking forward to your next cook with it.

Great video. Really great explanation of what is does and the video is excellent. The cost is the downer. It cost almost as much as the grill. I was interested because I use a FireBoard for both my smoker and my Weber kettle. The FireBoard works great on the smoker, however to get it to work on the Webber is a lot of trial and error before it’s dialed in. If you don’t adjust the fan speeds correctly, the FireBoard blower will blow ashes all over your food. I really like this device though.

I enjoy all your videos. To clarify one thing because I saw it in this video and at least one other....5G is a cellular signal. 5 GHz is a router signal. A bunch of products only work on 2.4 GHz. I am only pointing this out because it might confuse people that have 5G phones thinking this won't work with them. It is really the router that matters. Almost all support 2.4 GHz though which is what this runs on. So...you have routers that support wifi at 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz and phones that support 5G, 4G, 3G and 2G mobile signals.

The other, I cut a hole smack in the middle of the pizza pan the same diameter as my charcoal chimney. Put a tumbleweed in the middle of that hole, then set a chimney on it, and your charcoal will ash over in record time. It’s also the right size to set my Weber charcoal baskets on and force the air up through them. Gets as hot or hotter than a vortex, but faster. I do love it

Hi Tom, thanks for your great video on the SG Venom. I’d appreciate your opinion about which one of my Weber kettles this would be more advantageous to install this on. I recently acquired the Spider Grills Venom and a new Master-Touch PREMIUM (the one with the hinged lid and char ring with diffuser plate) which I haven’t assembled yet. I also have a 2022 MasterTouch which I have been using since last summer. I use my Weber Genesis for quick week night grilling. Out of all the different 22” Weber kettles you own, I saw you installed your SG Venom in the Master-Touch Premium. Is it because you prefer using the MT Premium as a sort of “Guinea pig” or because it’s more versatile and therefore a better candidate for the Venom? Would appreciate your opinion, please.

Install your charcoal ring, snake your lump coal around the ring leaving a break, place your drip pan in the ring, light one end of snake. Yes, this works well with fan induction systems. The fan will run a bit more due to coals being outside the ring, but it works the same. I simply put a drip pan in the bottom and snake around the kettle

Thanks again Mike! I have not,, haven’t seen them either

How well you think this thing will hold up outside under a grill cover or out in the rain?

Newbie question, one thing I am confused about -- how did you light up the charcoal here?

Thanks for Watching! Used a starter wax cube from Weber

This is a really interesting device. Does it close off air completely after shut down to snuff the left over charcoal? Sorry if you mentioned that. Best.

Thanks for Watching Jeffery! Per the instructions as long it is covered when not in use it is good outside

Is that a Weber discada over the coal bed? That's quite the grill.

Does Weber sell the charcoal grate and diffuser? What else would you recommend using if you don't have those two accessories?

So far I have only found one "con" about using this device. You really should clean out as much ash as you can before every cook. The blower seems to kick up ash dust on your meat. Easily remedied with a quick rinse of beer however. Seriously, that is my only so-called "con".

Can you still use the vents manually without the controller for hot cooks

Thanks for watching Nathan! Yes

Would you pick the Venom or Auto Kamato now that you have both?

Thanks for Watching Joe! Hard choice since one is a Kamado and one is a kettle. The cast iron grate of the Kamado for searing makes a big difference. I believe the will both perform well at low and slow. The Kamado because of its insulation will be much more efficient. For me it’s a toss up….but I would lean toward the auto kamado

I wonder if it would work on the Weber Summit Kamado, since it uses the same ash clean out as the kettle does.

Thanks for Watching Alfred! The best way to find out is to email them and ask,

I mean, it's a great idea. For me, it takes the fun and artistry out of the whole process. I get a little bit of joy out of going in completely blind, not using thermometers, managing my coal by general feel, how the meat looks, how it cuts and how much 'bounce' it has. Yeah it's not precise and I don't get consistent perfect results, but I love that part of BBQing

Put in in perspective imagine you have put a whole season of raising and preparing g an animal. Something that may require a full six hour or longer slow cook that may be intolerant to changes in temperature that could gravel alter the structure, or texture. The difference between a good high quality sausage or some other variant of a meatloaf that doesn’t complement the all the inputs or time. There is a good time and place to go primitive and fundamental with fantastic results like Hawaiian Pig or a New England Crab Bake wrapped in seaweed and buried in the sand. I just want to make the best of what I have, either by scarcity, price, or something that can all too easily be cast off as undesirable but otherwise wonderfully utilized by the precision that something like this has to offer. Food is sacred, especially the ones I raise or have hunted myself.

Tom, have you tried to use the spider with the slow and sear?
