Bought a Classic Joe I 2 days ago from BJ’s $229!
Was setting it up in the yard and following the directions something wasn’t adding up. There’s no firebox base. Went through the box several times to confirm I wasn’t crazy but it’s definitely not there. I’ve attached pictures of everything included with mine. BJs only had one left when I bought it so I’d imagine at that price it’s probably gone by now and not sure whether they’d want me opening another one to take a piece out of another one. Also no way I’m reloading this thing back in the car to return it lol. Anyone ever missing pieces in theirs? Should I contact Kamado Joe about a replacement or would it be quicker just to buy the piece, or if there’s an aftermarket one I’m good for whatever I’m just ready to use this thing so whatever gets me there the quickest. The model of the grill I got is KJ23RH. Thanks!

Yes, you are missing the base. If it was open box, contact the store. You can always contact KJs. Worst case, they will sell you one, best case, send you one for free.
Either way, you got a heck of deal. Even if you have to buy the missing piece.
Excellent deal. Upgrade to a charcoal basket for the bottom. It’s a game changer vs the metal plate with the holes.
