YMMV - Use Brickseek to see potentially accurate inventory and pricing instead of Walmart App or website imho.

QA note: link is for reference https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/210309336

https://brickseek.com/walmart-inv...=210309336
For example I used 21045 zip code and the store in that zip had 3 in stock at $100 (app and website said none in stock). Other stores around the region had prices from 267 (standard sale price recently) to 197 to 100 - when looking for inventory and pricing via brickseek.

Based on what I saw on Brickseek (ignored Walmart App and website since they said zero inventory for that particular store) I went to the store -- saw 3 of the units with a big clearance sign for $ 100 in the lawn and garden area -- got help and loaded one up on the cart, paid and left. Very glad I checked Brickseek and decided to just jump in car and check.

NOTE: It's a pretty big box - but fit into my Honda CRV SUV. Approx 110 pounds weight according to the box. Strongly recommend having someone help you at the store to lift into a cart and into your vehicle after purchase. At home I was able to actually edge it out the trunk of the SUV and lower it to the ground gently by myself.

Speaking from the perspective of an Akorn, there's almost no difference in performance between a $700-1000 ceramic and a $250-300 insulated steel Kamado.

The big expensive ceramic ones tend to be built like tanks, and last a long time, but I've seen lots of stories where the ceramic eventually cracks too. I think they're supposed to handle extreme high temps (600F+) a bit better too.

The steel ones last as well as you take care of them. My brother has a couple that are close to ten years old and he has let them sit out in the extreme cold/snow and rain. They don't look great visually anymore, but they still cook just as well. Probably needs a new gasket, but that's not that expensive.

Had my vision pro for 7 years now. I can smoke for 15+ hrs at steady temp in the snow.

This is correct. I have a lot of experience with ceramic smokers, and ceramic is pretty much ceramic. After about 1/2" of thickness there is little to no difference in heat retention capability. The main difference in the price has to do with the framing materials and handles (as well as branding).

The ceramic part of the grill will last forever unless you drop it (they break easily if dropped/toppled), so the frame is the main concern for durability. Some people ditch the frame all together and brick them in to their patio Smilie

I've owned an Acorn and several Kamado Joe's and Green Eggs. There is a huge difference between the two in quality, performance and price. The point of Kamado is that the ceramic will hold temp and moisture for very long periods of time. I really liked my Acorn and it got me interested enough to get a real Kamado.

Is it just me or are most people never able to replicate any of these clearance deals? I've heard a rumor that brickseek holds back all the clearance info for their paying members before letting others discover it so I assume they're the ones clearing out lock stock

I get my Walmart clearance info from slickdeals, and I've bought tons of items through the years now.

Probably saved thousands at this point using Brickseek to point me to which Walmart to check.

It's not a perfect system, but you can't get 80-90% off prices on high value items easily either

Also, I've been at the stores as others are looking for the same deal I am.

I honestly believe it has to do with your area. While most the really great deals are hard to find, not just at Walmart but in general, and can have you running around. They are there to be had. For most the Walmart deals I have to drive an hour cuz the five Walmarts closest to me rarely ever have the deals.

Quote from CoreyO4001 :
Got a very similar if not an older version of this years ago. I think close to 5 years old now. I bought the heat deflector and I bought the cover. All in under $200 after a clearance similar to this. The parts do rust but they cover most under warranty or they are very inexpensive. It's a great Kamado grill and I would buy this again if I could find it for that price! Don't hold back, get this if you can find it for that price!!!

Same here. I was actually (shockingly) able to transport the grill in my sedan (Ford Taurus). It barely fit, but after carefully jamming it in on an angle, it fit. Looking back, I should have just taken the parts out of the box and loaded them into my car like a rational person.

Great starter grill as an alternative to a Green Egg

I'm in south Florida so we also have year round bbq but I have found that walmart does clearance these items. Problem is they usually sell out before they hit rock bottom prices and if they go low sell out quick. I have one walmart about an hour away I have been able to snag some great deals but it ain't easy. Good luck!
