I see... I went and took the risk of ordering through Walmart again for the sake of the $44.90 back in Honey points haha. It sounds a little safer through Lowes and I guess in light of the cashback you technically can get the free professional assembly/setup of the thing so that might be worth it. I'm a sucker for the lower price and/or cashback opportunities though haha. On second thought, maybe it would have been wiser to go with Lowes for the professional setup because my wrists have been jacked up. On the other hand, I tend to wonder about who's setting stuff like this up and if they really know what they're doing (and aren't missing any steps, etc) - I figure with Lowes though, it should be pretty good haha
I price matched to Lowe's by calling the customer support line. The grill was delivered today while I was at work. They sent 1 old dude to deliver this 200 lb monster and of course he couldn't put the grill where I wanted it because he was solo. The grill was fully assembled, but my wife and I had to lug this big behemoth about 75ft to my back porch, traversing gravel which made it not fun.

Lowe's apparently uses the phrase "professional assembly/setup" very loosely.

I ordered it last and was looking again this morn and got that same honey offer. I cancelled last night's order and reordered!

Should come to $420 after tax, 5% cash back from Discover and the Honey deal. Couldn't pass that up!!

Then I went and snagged the $19.97 cover Lowe's this morning.

Great deal!!
Can you link the cover?

Can you fit 5 burgers on the Joe Jr.?

I'm trying to determine if a Jr can work for a family of 5 as a 3rd grill (already have a pellet and gas grill for most use).

LOL thanks for sharing your experience.... I guess I should just set my expectations pretty low at this point hopefully barring broken ceramic haha

How does this compare to the Kamado Barbecue Grill Smoker Ceramic 31.9", which Walmart is selling for $485?

Considering replacing a 22" Weber that is use mainly for smoking and roasting. It works but only until I finally upgrade to a dedicated smoker or something like the Kamari. Simple grilling for me is almost always on a gas grill.

For anyone who has this classic, how fast can you get it really hot (600 or higher) for searing steaks? I like the added flavor my Weber kettle gives me but usually go to my Weber gas grill since it's so much quicker and hotter.

So someone recommended the charcoal basket. I'm not sure I see the point.

Is this big enough to have coals on one side for indirect heat? I saw one basket has a split divider for coal.

Also, what about this soap stone surface? Is that the jam to use over the regular grate?


Lastly is there an auto temp control that isn't over $200? Like under $100?

Someone recommended the flame master 400 thing but good lord that like $270

Saw something from thermoworks that was $70 but not sure it does the same or how feature stripped it is,

Input appreciated!,

Mine is being delivered tomorrow by Pilot Freight.
A rep reached out yesterday to schedule a delivery time.

Broke it to the wife last night. She is super stoked even though I bought a Weber Performer earlier this year.

It's a Christmas miracle

Used similarly to cast iron. Easier to clean and overall better cooking surface than CI. But fragile and can crack just from normal use - I've had that happen on first use twice.
My jr soap stone just cracked after first use too. Kamado is easy to work with getting it replaced though

For anyone thinking about having Lowe's price-match it, do yourself a favor and don't try doing it via online chat. I just wasted an hour of my time where they initially indicated that they'd be happy to price-match it, only to find out an hour later that they were unable to and they instead told me to call in to order it. And, after I specifically asked about it, they told me that I'd be starting at square 1 to explain it all with the person on the phone (i.e., the hour I spent with online chat wouldn't show up anywhere for the phone people to see). So I then called the number they gave only to be told by an automated system that they were now closed for the holidays and it hung up on me.
