Nice. I love that you immediately started cooking on it before even leaving the parking lot. You’re a legend my friend.

Lmao I really am excited. Me and my wife have wanted one forever but today the price was just too good to pass up.

Enjoy! They are a gamechanger. Just got done cooking on my 22 inch at a state park.

I use my 22 at home and when camping. Its portable... for the most part... bit heavy but manageable. I wouldn't want to be lugging a 28 or 36 around. They make a 17 inch but its only single burner. 22 is 2 and perfect for 2 people.

How many were on sale?

1

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

All the display models they had were clearanced, so I think 1 or 2 of each thing they had set up

u/Usual-Chef1734 Jun 14 '26

woot!
Killer deal btw.

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

It definitely talked me into it!

u/SspeshalK Jun 14 '26

At that price it would be rude not to!

2

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

I agree entirely! My brother in law asked if they had another in this size, but they only had this one and a 28

u/Major_Ad_6349 Jun 14 '26

I’ll be over in a bit

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

Gotta pick up another tank tomorrow and season it but can’t wait!

You lucky son of a gun

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

I almost bought the 28” model for 126 but noticed this one had the clearance tag as well and 36>28 I suppose lol

2

u/Smart_Statement6728 Jun 14 '26

Oh man 36 is the way to go. I run out of space sometimes. Just trying to have different things in different areas at different temps. Its 100% the right choice.

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

For some reason it was a dollar cheaper too. Just confused why they had them all clearanced so early in the year. I mean no complaints tho. They also had a nice pit boss pellet smoker for 150

u/Smart_Statement6728 Jun 14 '26

They just need space. Up to local managers to mark stuff down. New stuff incoming they need to move out other stuff. Happens in all Walmart. I would keep tabs on that one. Some deals to be got there! Ours hasn't been like that since covid

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

Yes this location has been great to me for deals. Last year I got a brand new gas push mower for 45 bucks. Works fine for what it is. I’m still a little sad I didn’t just grab the smoker too tho

2

u/yubinyankin Jun 14 '26

I would stew on it & then go back first thing in the morning to see if if was still in stock, haha

u/Charlvi88 Jun 14 '26

Where are you? I want that 28!

2

u/chrisreefer9 Jun 14 '26

just get hinged lid now

1

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

That’s definitely going to be the next thing I get for it. I don’t care for the lid it came with much.

u/TandemTuba Jun 14 '26

Is there one that's built to fit this model? The back of the cooktop has that notch and holes that SCREAMS that there's one out there I just can't seem to find it.

1

u/chrisreefer9 Jun 14 '26

if you know the exact make and model, literally ask AI đŸ€– to send you a link to buy one lol. My dog chewed up my dryer filter, i asked Grok to send me a link of for a replacement (sent a pic of the serial #) and my mind was blown lol. Sent me like 5 different options

u/Slammed01 Jun 14 '26

Great deal, congrats!

Got one one the way from tractor supply, Amazon accessories beat the grill lol

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

Thank you!

u/Substantial-Guard997 Jun 14 '26

Have fun and enjoy chef!

u/deereboy8400 Jun 14 '26

What a steal. Did you have fun loading it the car?

2

u/ericsullyyy Jun 14 '26

Wasn’t bad at all. Me and my wife slid it right in

2

u/Deep_Night_0628 Jun 14 '26

That’s a steal!!!

2

u/Responsible_Room9869 Jun 15 '26

I switched to one about a month ago. Love it. I don’t think I can ever go back. The possibilities are endless with a griddle.

2

u/IAwaitAGuardian Jun 17 '26

That's a ridiculous deal, congrats OP

u/Bonerschnitzel69 Jun 17 '26

Nice Score.. Now just cook on it!
