The best 4th of July sales on grills: Weber, Blackstone, Traeger and more

Weber’s Spirit II E-210 is a compact, no-frills gas grill that gets the job done and then some. With two stainless steel burners, it can carve out hot and cold zones for more targeted results (i.e. less wait time and more consistency). The compact size (for a grill, at least) makes it especially ideal for those with smaller spaces. Nab it on sale for one of the lowest prices we've seen in a while.

When it comes to scoring a great gas grill on a budget, this Char-Broil is the one to beat, with a huge grilling surface — 435 square inches, plus 130 square inches of secondary cooking space — for serving up a sizable feast. Last time we checked, it was on sale for over $100 off, bringing its already competitive price down to just over $250, including a five-year burner warranty.

If you're in the market for a flat-top grill, Blackstones are some of the biggest (figuratively and literally) in the game. And this popular model offers a 756-square-inch grilling space, four burners and two variable cooking zones for whipping up breakfast, lunch, dinner — try hibachi! — with ease. 

This flat-top from Weber is another common pick among grill masters for its fast, even heat distribution reaching over 500°F. Sear your burgers, sausages and the occasional salmon to perfection with the flip of a wrist (it doubles as a slick omelet station for hearty brunches and overnight crews). 

Want a serious smoker sans the sticker shock? Consider this compact wood pellet grill and smoker. It’s constructed of durable stainless steel, with a 465-square-inch cooking surface — large enough for 20 burgers — and a 5-pound hopper capacity to boot. If the shiny chrome hood didn't already have your attention, perhaps the $100 off will entice you.

There’s a lot of buzz surrounding Traeger grills — and for good reason, as these dynamos don’t mess around. This roomy model has over 1,500 five-star ratings on Amazon and features an ultraprecise temperature controller that allows for 15-degree adjustments so your meats come out juuuuust right. Enjoy more than $200 in savings over the holiday weekend.

This Recteq is another heavy-duty, stainless steel smoker with a hearty following, described by the brand and many of its enthusiasts as "the definition of gold standard in pellet grilling." When factoring in the second shelf, you're looking at an 1,100-square-inch grilling surface — the largest in this category — that can be used to bake, sear, smoke, grill, dehydrate and more. Get it while the sale is hot.

This small but mighty number from Char-Broil turns a basic patio into a backyard burger bistro — just plug it in and you're good to go! As reinforced by fans (it has over 2,000 on Amazon alone), the porcelain-coated cooking grates also stand up to rust and other signs of wear. Scoop it up on sale now and use it for years to come.

It just doesn’t get any more classic than this Weber standby. Backed by over 8,000 five-star ratings, the portable (and dare we say adorable?) grill has a small, campsite- and patio-friendly design and boasts wheels for easy maneuvering. A lid hook keeps the cover from blowing or rolling away.

Prepare up to 13 burgers at a time, then let the one-touch cleaning system on this sleek charcoal grill from Weber handle all the dirty work. The cooking grate is hinged and there's a built-in lid thermometer, plus a removable backlit LCD cook timer, for added convenience.
