    Paid 1200 $ before taxes in Québec without any accessories.... Now I'm thinking about buying a AR from Ceramic grill store... I wonder what will be the shipping/duty cost.....
    What was included for the $1200? Just the Egg? That sounds about right, as MSRP on the Egg alone seems to be about $1283 CAD plus tax for most dealers.

    I paid 1200 for just the large egg, it was 1500 with nest and side tables. I was just quoted $879 for the mini max, so I picked up the kamado joe Jr on sale at lowes for $550 taxes in.

    Is definitely be interested in the Joe Jr for $550 taxes in, as I was also deliberating on the $1060(!!!!!) Mini Max. Do you know happen to know when it goes on sale?

    I got my MiniMax with a bunch of stuff but the MM price alone I paid $450 US. With the exchange now you are at $585 for the MM

    Over the years I bought two eggs, Small from MI and XL from PA, from the US but ended up selling them (got my money back) because the thought of dealing with cross-border warranty issues bothered me.  You got lots of good advice.  An option not mentioned is Toronto Eggfest, not sure if they still have demos available, check it out:  http://www.biggreeneggtoronto.com/

    I also live in Ottawa picked up my egg 1 year ago was in the same situation but decided to stay local.

    I settled on the Large Egg and I've attached my pricing I was able to get some free stuff and discounted accessories. I also decided to return the Plate Setter and go with the AR setup instead at the time the exchange wasn't to bad but I'm glad I did it.

    With the exchange rate where it is I would wonder if it's truly worth the hassle unless you were already planning a trip down there.

    Lowes sometimes has 15%-20% off sales and they sell the Kamado for $1300 which comes with a decent amount of accessories might be an option.

    I am guessing may long they will have save the taxes event? I got it on the deal if you spent over $500 you get 15% off. I would have loved to get the minni max but at a close to 45% price difference, I just couldn't.... Oh and the Joe jr, came with the place setter, grill grabber and ash tool....

    Only the large and I bought an used nest from the dealer. I think he sold me the nest 100 $. Weeks later, I saw the large in a store and it was 1600 $ BEFORE taxes.... So I was happy with my deal !
