The end of summer doesn’t have to mean the end of backyard barbecues. In fact, early fall is one of the best times to save on a grill since retailers want to clear their seasonal inventory. And for Labor Day weekend, we found a few discounts on popular names like beloved Weber, Traeger, and more.
Here at GH, we’re pretty selective when recommending products, because our pros at the Kitchen & Cooking Lab work all year testing every kitchen appliance and grill, recording their results in real time. Below’s list includes a select few of our favorite grills, from pellet options to gas and charcoal seeing rare discounts for the weekend. While the highest mark downs we're seeing are around 28% off, since most of these are close to $1,000, every little bit helps.
"This one from Weber stands out for being able to cook across the entire surface with a direct flame. (Most pellet grills just smoke and aren't the best at browning, no matter how hot they get" says Papantoniou. Great for beginners, in our tests, this grill was easy to move around and set up for cooking, and program using the digital control panel. At $100 off, it's currently one of the best Weber deals.
Traeger is one of the most recognized brands for grilling, and our pros named this pick the best pellet grill for its large cooking space, easy-to-clean grates, and an intuitive control panel that’s easy to use and read. They say it’s a great option for beginners.

Reminiscent in style of grills from back in the day, this Kamado Joe grill impresses with its large cooking space and ability to smoke using low temperatures like 200ºF. It can also grill up to 750ºF. Our pros were impressed with the durability of the handles and side shelves.
While we haven’t tested this particular smoker and grill, Weber is a highly sought-after brand and is well loved by our pros at the Kitchen & Cooking Lab. Per the brand, this pellet smoker features a cooking space of 594 square inches, and you can cook on two levels simultaneously. You can even remove the top rack if you wanted to fit larger roasts or poultry.
