1.0 out of 5 stars Will not work with any Weber Genesis or Summit grill December 18, 2010

By Tim and Jana Lark

Amazon Verified Purchase

I diligently checked both the Maverick website and the ET75 owner's manual for this product prior to ordering to see if it would work with my Weber Summit grill. Both sources were scant of this type of information, but I ordered it anyway because I love the idea behind this product.

Once I brought the parts out to my grill, it was obvious that it not work without cutting/grinding out the "U" slot in the cast iron grill box where the spit rotates. I've also owned a Weber Genesis and know the same "U" slot exists.

My biggest problem is that there is no documentation that this product WILL NOT WORK on Weber grills, one of the most popular consumer grills on the market.

The merchant (PC Universe) charges an 18% restocking+shipping fee for opened items and I had to open the ET-75 just to see if it would work.

UPDATE:
PC Universe has contacted me and made it clear that they would "exceed my expectations" on customer satisfaction. I assume this means they would wave the 18% restocking+shipping fee, so I am satisfied with PC Universe.

I still have a big problem with the product documentation. It should either list the grills it will/won't work with OR the specs of the "U" slot and spit diameter it works with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great machine October 6, 2009

This product is great for spit roasting. Instead of having to time a prime rib roast or continually check it with a thermometer for internal temp,the remote readout gives you an accurate reading.
The only drawback I found is that the alarm goes off about 3 degrees above set point which is easily corrected by dropping the setpoint 3 degrees. Good rig. Use it lots.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor customer support September 11, 2010

By L. S. Brodsky

I have a Lynx grill and had to modify my grill as well as make a new collar to allow this thermometer to work. Then I found that the indicated temp was way off in comparison with an instant read and another probe thermometer. The manual attributes this to the sensor wire so I returned the wire to Maverick per the manual. A month later they have not sent me a new wire nor have they responded to multiple voice mails and e-mails. Seems like I have a useless toy now; I'll just use an old reliable roast thermometer. Stay away from these guys.
