Deal Details
This deal includes the Classic II bundle and the Joetisserie accessory (pricing is usually $169 sale, $200 normal, $250 MSRP). Not the slickest deal in terms of all-time low, but this is about as low as the price gets for a while now without also being YMMV. Some have posted in other threads that certain states will have no tax during checkout.

During November 2020, Amazon had $849 price for Classic 2 bundle.

Personally, the Classic III can be a better purchase, but that hasn't seen a good sale since the early COVID days.

Quick overview of what the Classic III has over the II.
- SloRoller smoking accessory (>$160 sale value; $200 MSRP)
- charcoal basket included (>$50 value); you will likely want to invest in this even if you purchase the II. Stock design on Classic II leaves much to be desired.
- has 3-tier rack design vs the 2-tier on Classic II
- aluminum side shelves vs plastic on Classic II
- galvanized steel cart vs coated cast iron on Classic II
- cart has bottom shelf

Choose Classic II if you don't care about the above. Lowest price for the III was recently $1500 with joetisserie (black friday 2021). Based on previous 3 year slickdeal threads, the lowest this has dropped was $1369.

Please note there are multiple variations of the Kamado Joe Classic (and Big Joe) models. This is the series II (2) which is NOT the same as the model sold much cheaper at Walmart recently. Please do your research before down-voting. For anyone who WANTS the features on the series II, this is the best deal around. /end rant

Better price than Costco considering the Joetisserie thrown in. My wife got me the Classic III from Atlanta Grill Company earlier this year and they were a great company to work with; insanely fast shipping.

Seems like the II is the "sweet spot"

Personally, I got in on the Walmart deal but I'm sure after I "master" it I'll want either a Big Joe or a Classic II lol.

Mostly, I'm just excited to have a Kamado grill at all... I've heard about them for years but just never took the plunge. Now that we have our own place with room in the yard though, it's a good time to get into this haha. I do want to get the Joetisserie at some point.

I got a version I from someone off of OfferUp for $100 (such a steal). But yea, i'm prepping for a big joe or a classic II someday soon.

If you like to smoke, you will want to go bigger...I have the 2 and as much as I love it, I kind of wish I had gone for the big joe/junior combination.

Wow that's awesome! Walmart just dropped the price on the Classic I to $399 lol. I got a measly $50 pricematch since I paid $449. $100 is a complete steal even if it's used!

Yea, I like to smoke but not often - I have an electric smoker and have done smokes on my Stok tower grill but I'm sure the experience is much better on ceramic. I don't quite have the stomach to splurge on a Big Joe at the moment. Of course, if there's ever a sale, I'd be much more inclined lol.

I just got the Classic I from the Walmart deal. Great deal that was. I kind of wish I got this instead. But bang for the buck, the Walmart is better. Feature this is better.

Joetisserie alone is ~$200 right now, so not a bad deal.

I've owned my Classic II for over a year and it is hands down my favorite way to cook. Kamado cooking is insanely flexible--hot enough to be a great pizza oven (the ceramic lid absorbs enough heat to help with cooking the top which is not possible with a gas grill), can do low and slow for any kind of BBQ, can do fun rotisserie cooks... I made a rotisserie turkey this Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.
