How did you go about price matching? In-store?
I price matched with Lowe's earlier today as well. I had to call them to do it. Received shipping confirmation a few hours ago.

They probably wouldn't let you add a military discount on top, would they?

I keep thinking about getting one of these things, and even imagining that it could be the "one" grill I could own, but I already own:
a) a Weber gas grill that gets really hot, really fast, and I have a little smoker box that I can add in there to add some wood smoke flavor to things.
b) a Weber kettle grill that I can put charcoal in and get a little better flavor, but which needs a lot more time and attention.
c) an electric smoker tower (mini-fridge style) that does a great low-and-slow job for ribs, etc., but requires a lot more attention and cleanup.

And, honestly, my standard for excellence is about steaks. I like them rare on the inside, seared with maximum crust on the outside, and only occasionally with some smoke flavor. The best steaks I've had at restaurants seem to be seared in a cast iron pan, so as to achieve maximum crust coverage. FWIW, I'm a huge au poivre fan. So, some of the best steaks can be done inside on my stovetop.

So do I really want a device that is going to require a lot of extra time and effort to get what might be, at best, a minor flavor upgrade? Yet, here I am, still thinking about it.

Bought the Jr. for $299 a few months ago. I've smoked a full brisket($4.29/lb untrimmed from Costco), three packs of three bones short ribs($1.99 from Costco) in the Jr. with oak+applewood. Taste better than local Ohio BBQ places. Super easy to use and fun to cook. $229 is a no-brainer no matter it's your first Kamado or an addition to Big Joe or green egg.

They might. They honored the additional 5% off by using my Lowe's Advantage card, so they might honor the military discount. I doubt any other coupons would work though. Wouldn't hurt to ask if you call them up for a price match.

Haha... I was in a similar boat. I've got my Weber gas grill and Traeger smoker, and for the most part didn't see a valid reason to get this as well, but when this deal posted this morning I couldn't resist pulling the trigger. Stupid SD! Hope it's as great as everyone says it is.

I kind of feel the same. I have achieved better shear crust with a flaxseed oil seasoned carbon steel fry pan(lighter and heat better than cast iron) than 700F shear on the grill. I'm actually thinking of a combination of fry pan shear plus grill 400F cook(maybe reverse).
Grill(lump gives way better flavor than gas or briquettes.) simply add flavor to the steaks which are great for fattier cuts eg. ribeye or ribeye caps yet make little difference for filet IMO.
Back on the thread, the Joe Jr. could perfectly replace your weber kettle, it's easy to cook even on weekdays and has very low maintenance.

If the mobility could justify that price tag for you.

Bought last week for 549 and also did not succeed on the walmart chat. The rep said "walmart.com does not price match walmart.com". WTF!! I'll be going to the store tomorrow.

one accessory i would recommend if you want to do long cooks is a temperature controller like the Flame Boss 400. takes a lot of babysitting out of low and slow.

there are a bunch of similar controllers but i have been using flame boss for a while and it seems to be pretty solid.

connects to wifi. install app on your phone or tablet. put in enough fuel for your cook. connect pit thermometer, insert meat thermometer. set pit temp in app, set meat temp, set alarm. and you dont have to manage the fire. or you can manage the pit anywhere you have an internet connection.

just don't worry about it. Kamado is a very simple cooking method and that is the beauty. Why making it so complicated. There is really not much space left with all those accessories.
