Has anyone else seen this? Is there something I am missing?

Lowe's currently has them in stock, comes with all the accessories and goodies for $749. Between coupons I could get the grill for $575.

    The only thing sticking out to me is the one on the left us a classic Joe, but the measurement in the description is for the big joe.
    Otherwise, it makes sense. That is the classic 2 model on the right vs the classic 3 model on the left. Different hinge, different vent cap. But still a good deal.

    Appreciate the input, maybe I'll just keep holding out for the XL. Thought for under $600 might not be a bad grab.

    Wrong color... I powder coated my patio furniture BGE green, and I would hate to have to redo it.

    We have 2 KJs and love them.  Chef Norah Grace has a classic 1 and a Joe JR.  For under $600 I’d buy it

    You guys are right. There is a model between gen 1 and gen 2 though that comes with the plastic side tables and the divide and conquer system. Classic 1.5 if you will :)

    I sold my KJ Classic and upgraded to my XL to gain room.  If I were doing it again, would prefer a large oval (Primo), and never look back.
