This is a compact digital charcoal grill and smoker that stands out for smoking performance and a steep in store clearance price around $149. The app and store inventory checks can help locate remaining display or boxed units, and some pickups included extra discounts or a $20 two year protection plan. The main caveats are that many units are floor models or preassembled, sometimes stored outside, and assembly or missing parts can be an issue. It also needs to be kept clean when running hot to avoid grease fires, so it is best for shoppers comfortable inspecting the unit closely.
The Home Depot app can help locate nearby stores with clearance pricing and remaining quantities.
The grill can function well as a smoker when charcoal and wood blocks are loaded correctly.
A 2-year extended protection plan is reportedly available for $20 when purchasing the grill.
The in-store clearance workflow can reveal the reduced price using the yellow clearance symbol on store listings.
Some floor models appear to have been stored outside, with reports of dents, dripping wet dew, or missing drip pans.
Store inventory counts can exclude the floor model, so the website may show none even when a unit exists in-store.
Prebuilt or assembled units may be incomplete or have missing parts, insulation pieces, or a power cord.
The grill can start a grease fire quickly if it is not kept clean when cranking up heat.

However....
Since it was such a PITA when I was in HD to pick up some stuff for the innagural cook I decided to check out the assembled grills. Well NONE of them was assembled correctly and complete. I actually talked a couple out of buying one for various reasons.
Go through your assembly manual carefully and check all the parts.
One thing about putting a grill together is you learn a lot about it. I walked into my local HD and went straight to some of the the most PITA areas and started checking parts and assembly. I found multiple mistakes and omissions on the prebuilt grills.
I made a couple of mistakes when assembling my grill and I found multiple mistakes in the assembly instructions. Two off the top of my head were a mislabeled part and one where the assembly instructions defied the laws of physics.
Please, please, please, in the name of all that is holy please check your grill carefully. I noticed a missing washer on the wheel assembly. I noticed four missing pieces of insulation. I noticed a missing power cord.
It was comical and sad at the same time.
The grill is complex and has so many parts. A pain for you to put together, but a literally playground for minimum wage people to lose or just carelessly omit parts.

For those looking for a decent cover, I can confirm the WeatherTuff 58" cover fits well with the shelf down. Just the right height too. It is available on Woot right now for $27. Seems really good quality and Amazon reviews are glowing.
