What's special about this grill that it's so expensive?

It's competing against equally (usually more) expensive Kamado grills. It offers some benefits and has some cons. Plenty of youtube content to help you decide which one to get. I'll admit as a kamado owner, I've thought about switching over to this if mine ever breaks.
Definitely the best price I have ever seen for one but I don't follow the market daily or even weekly.

this is a Steel enamel grill, which has its own pros and cons compared to similarly priced competition. a Kamado Joe or Big Green Egg would be ceramic. there are pros and cons to both materials, having had both I stuck around with the ceramic grill because it is far more durable but much more prone to shock.

If you are using an original 18" kettle as a baseline of what a grill should cost and anything more than $120 is expensive, the differences are:

24" diameter cooking surface (77% more cooking surface area)
Dual walled insulation (the main selling point of the kamado)
One touch cleaning system
Dual position charcoal grate, for direct grilling or smoking
Includes char baskets and diffuser plate
Cooking grate rod diameter
Temperature gauge
Hinged lid
Frame with 3 casters

You just have to see one in person. They aren't the same class of product.

It's about the size of a 26" kettle ($500). It has a premium standing solution. The lid is insulated for better heat retention and much longer run time (yesterday I t-storm took about 120 degrees off my kettle in minutes). Since it's kamado style, you get almost the entire cooking surface for indirect (smoking and roasting). Vs the standard size 22, the cooking surfaces are all stainless (you'll probably never need to replace them).

I believe this also comes with an adapter for a temp controller. IT's really not that hard to drill a hole and DIY, but many people don't want to do that. If you want lazy queue, having a controller is pretty awesome. I can do chores or fun stuff with the kids and not worry about my cook at all.

Market-wise, the competition are premium ceramic kamados, which are all ~$1500 or so in a similar size.

At $800, this is for sure a good deal if you are in the market for a premium smoker and were considering a ceramic kamado already. I do not have a WSC in my herd yet, but I'm also not really pressed to add grills to my herd. If I ever come across the deal of a lifetime, for sure I will snag one. But this is not that deal.

That being said, the 26" kettle is pretty awesome. It happens to be my primary cooker, and the only real downside is it burns some more (relatively cheap) charcoal and you might need to get creative in how you make your indirect cooking area. I use a Slow n Sear, but others might want to spend their time building snakes and the really cheap/lazy will just pile up charcoal on the far wall. Whatever gets the job done.

I feel if I didn't own a kamadoJoe I'd invest in this as I love my Weber 3 burner that I bought almost a decade ago now and it sold me on the differences of quality as a prior purchase 3 burner that was already getting beaten up.

Note: I'm hearing that folks local Home Depots are carrying Classic II for $500~. I got a Classic 1 last year for $400 via Walmart. Either way are KILLER deals as a kamado should be this heavily insulated ceramic device which it appears this Weber is. I like this design but would need to see videos to see if it's "better"
