The best 4th of July deals take up to $500 off grills from Weber, Kamado Joe and more

The 4th of July has nearly arrived, but there may still be enough time to score a new grill for this weekend’s barbecue. Several retailers, including Amazon, The Home Depot and Lowe’s, have launched Independence Day sales with some of the best grill deals of the year — and some of them even deliver before the holiday. So if your celebration of Amazon’s 250th anniversary could use a new way to cook hamburgers, hot dogs and steaks, now is your chance to save.

Some of the overall best 4th of July sales apply to our favorite grills from Weber, Charbroil, Kamado Joe and Traeger, many of which are down to the lowest prices of the year. Whether you’re looking for a reliable charcoal cooker, want to upgrade to a propane grill or are ready to bring a smoker into your routine this year, I’ve found 30 of the best discounts on everything you need to spend all summer grilling.

4th of July propane grill deals

Weber Spirit E-325 3-Burner Propane Grill

This version of our pick for the best propane grill offers much of the same grilling performance at a more affordable price tag. It shares the same three-burner design as our editors' favorite propane cooker, just without the extra sear zone that inevitably impressed our team enough to make it our top recommendation. But for those who don't need that added feature or don't want to pay close to $1,000 for a grill, the Weber E-325 is a notable runner-up now that it's down to its best price of the year with $50 off.

Weber Genesis E-315 Propane Grill

Weber's Genesis E-315 improves the propane grilling experience with the company's PureBlu burner system that delivers even more consistent heat across the entire grilling surface — not just directly above the flames. That allows you to take full advantage of its 640 square inches of cooking space to feed your entire family this summer. It's $100 off at four retailers, some of which will deliver your new grill before the weekend if you act fast.

Ninja FlexFlame Grill and Smoker

When CNN Underscored's associate testing writer, Joe Bloss, tried the Ninja FlexFlame, he was impressed by how versatile the grill is. Calling it just a grill feels like underselling this upgrade to your patio, because it can smoke, roast, griddle and cook pizza — on top of grilling, of course. Now it's even easier to recommend at $200 off, and the same discount has landed on the ProConnect version that allows you to monitor cooking from your iPhone.

Charbroil Bistro Pro Propane Grill

If your patio is on the smaller side like mine, you'll appreciate a small grill for being able to cook on a grill in the first place. This Charbroil model takes full advantage of its tiny footprint and offers 240 square inches of grilling space, enough to cook 12 burgers at a time. It's also one of the more affordable propane grills on sale for the 4th of July at $75 off.

Charbroil Performance 4-Burner Cabinet Propane Grill in Gray

Alongside the tinier propane cooker that's on sale this week, Charbroil is dishing out the best value in propane grills right now with this discounted four-burner model. After digging into the pricing history, I found that it normally sells for $400, so don't be fooled by Amazon underplaying the value by listing it at $315. Still, if saving $112 is not enough of a reason to buy, today's holiday offer is $9 under the price from Memorial Day weekend and a new low price on its 435 square inches of cooking space.

Charbroil Performance 4-Burner Propane Grill

If you're looking to skip right to the most affordable propane grill I'd recommend, this Charbroil model is your best bet for the 4th of July weekend. Lowe's will ship it to your door in time for a picnic if you act fast, and the $70 discount makes it $20 more affordable than the last time I saw it on sale during Memorial Day weekend. It may lack the bells and whistles offered by the Weber grills also on sale, but it will certainly get the job done grilling up some patties at its lowest price of the year.

4th of July charcoal grill deals

Kamado Joe Joe Jr. Ceramic Charcoal Grill and Stand

While you won't be able to save on CNN Underscored's pick for the best charcoal grill this 4th of July, you can score a rare discount on this compact Kamado Joe model. It's matching its best price of the year and is only the third markdown in all of 2026. Today's offer returns it to the price we spotted over Memorial Day weekend. At $71 off, you'll enjoy a small footprint fit for small patios and the company's signature heat-resistant shell that locks in smoke and moisture.

Kamado Joe Classic Joe Ceramic Charcoal Grill and Smoker

If you need more grilling space than the Joe Jr. can deliver, upgrading to the company's Classic Joe grill and smoker gets you the same ceramic cooking experience with more room to feed more guests. It's $200 off and a new low price ahead of the holiday weekend, and it can handle smoking meats low and slow at 225 degrees Fahrenheit as well as it sears steaks at upwards of 750 degrees Fahrenheit. I love that it comes with a stand that elevates it to proper grilling height.

Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series II Ceramic Charcoal Grill

The second-generation version of the Classic Joe grill is now $50 below the pricing from Memorial Day weekend. It has all the same perks from the thick ceramic material of the original, plus a new Air Lift hinge that allows you to lift the heavy ceramic lid with a single finger and an improved top vent that means you can grill in the rain. Today's discount takes $300 off for the first time and makes this newer model a bit more affordable for those who want a higher-end experience.

Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series III Charcoal Grill and Smoker

Grill masters searching for the very best patio upgrade will find the Classic Joe Series III grill to be the discount they've been looking for. This grill not only delivers the best grilling and smoking experience of any of the grills on sale this week — from Kamado Joe or other brands — but it's also down to the best price of the year at $536 off. That's $136 below previous holiday weekend sales, and it allows you to save more than ever on added cooking space thanks to three tiers of grates, the Sloroller insert that creates rolling smoke for added flavor and a more durable stand with locking wheels.

Oklahoma Joe’s Laredo Series 900 Charcoal Grill and Smoker

The lowest price of the year on this affordable grill from Oklahoma Joe's will let you to refresh your patio space for less. It's $70 off for the holiday weekend, but unlike many of the other grills, it's guaranteed not to arrive before a 4th of July picnic. If you're fine sending off your existing grill with one last barbecue, this model will arrive later in the month at its best price of the year from your choice of two retailers.

Masterbuilt Gravity 600 Charcoal Grill With Smoker

If you already have a charcoal grill that just isn't cutting it, this Masterbuilt model allows you to upgrade to a higher-end cooker for less. It's $250 off for the 4th of July, thanks to a discount at Ace Hardware, and it features a digital heating system that lets you enjoy the perks of charcoal with fine temperature precision. I also love that it has 600 square inches of cooking space for grilling large briskets, racks of ribs, chickens and enough food to feed an entire family.

4th of July portable grill deals

Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Propane Grill

The new low price from Amazon Prime Day has stuck around long enough that you can save on this portable grill this 4th of July weekend. It's $60 under the price from Memorial Day, which allows you to score the portable grill for less than ever before. Whether you just want a cooker that folds down when not in use or need to take advantage of its portability for a tailgate or camping trip, the Coleman RoadTrip 285 is ready to handle cookouts of all kinds with its 20,000 BTUs of cooking power.

Coleman RoadTrip 225 Portable Propane Grill

This smaller version of Coleman's RoadTrip grill is also on sale for Independence Day weekend and is $30 under the discount from Memorial Day. It has the same folding stand design as its larger counterpart, just with a smaller grilling space. I particularly appreciate that it has a push-button start, so you can get right to grilling without having to fuss with lighting charcoal.

Coleman Classic 3-Burner Propane Camping Stove

Just because this is technically a camping stove doesn't mean you can't use it at home on your patio this summer. The compact design lets you cook up some food outdoors without having a giant grill that takes up precious space on your patio or elsewhere. Today's offer takes $65 off the normal price at Amazon.

Coleman Fold 'N Go Propane Grill

In size and in price tag, it doesn't get any smaller than this Coleman grill. It won't be able to cook enough for your entire family at once, but it will certainly grill up a burger or a few dogs for yourself. It's returned to its second-best price ever at $42 off, thanks to this first notable discount of 2026.

4th of July pellet grill deals

Traeger Ironwood 885 Electric Pellet Grill and Smoker

Our team found this Ironwood 885 very much worth the splurge when testing the best pellet grills because its precise temperature controls allow anyone who treats cooking as a science to get technical with their low-and-slow brisket smoking sessions, and it earned our top recommendation. Today's discount not only makes it a more affordable recommendation, but it also allows you to score the best price ever at $101 under the markdown from Memorial Day weekend.

Traeger Pro Series 34 Pellet Grill and Smoker

If you're not looking to spend over $1,000 on a grill — despite the $392 discount on the best pellet grill we've tested — this Traeger Pro Series model is a worthy runner-up. It may ditch the incredibly precise cooking features on the Ironwood model, but it offers a sizable 884 square inches of cooking space, a 450-degree-Fahrenheit max temperature and an integrated meat probe to help you treat guests (or yourself) to tender brisket and smoked ribs for less.

Weber Smoque 22-Inch Pellet Smoker

Weber may be known around CNN Underscored as the maker of our favorite charcoal grills, but it also brings the same cooking prowess to the world of pellet smokers. This Smoque model can reach temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be dialed in with its digital LCD controller and pair of integrated food probes, which will monitor cooking progress and internal temperature. Four retailers are taking $100 off for the long weekend — some of which will even deliver the smoker before the actual holiday.

Weber Smoque XL 34‑Inch Pellet Smoker

The larger version of the Weber Smoque is also in several retailers' 4th of July sales this week, with the same $100 in savings as its smaller counterpart. The Home Depot will deliver this one to your doorstep before a cookout this weekend if you act fast and choose expedited delivery at checkout, while Amazon and Weber will ship it later, for those who want to use the larger 918 square inches of cooking space during the rest of summer.

Traeger Woodridge Electric Pellet Grill and Smoker

If you already have a smoker and are looking to upgrade to an electric option, this discount on Traeger's Woodridge model has arrived just in time. It's now at least $100 off for Independence Day at your choice of three retailers. I love that its Wi-Fi temperature control helps you monitor the cooking progress from wherever you are (like the shade) and that its large cooking area allows you to make big meals.

Traeger Woodridge Pro Electric Pellet Grill and Smoker

Alongside the standard Woodridge pellet grill and smoker, the Pro version is also on sale at $150 off. This is only its third markdown of the year and the second time it has returned to the lowest price of 2026. Its 970 square inches of cooking space provide an extra 110 square inches more than the baseline model, which is perfect for those who need even more room for cooking large briskets and multiple racks of ribs.

Pit Boss 850 DX Pellet Grill

On the more affordable side of pellet grills, this model from Pit Boss is also on sale at Lowe's. It may not have the smoker features the other Traeger models on this list include, but it is a more affordable way to enjoy pellet cooking, thanks to this $150 discount. Today's offer is an extra $50 below the previous discount I tracked, and it scores you 840 inches of cooking real estate and smart features for remote temperature monitoring, at its lowest price in nearly a year.

Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Charcoal Drum Smoker

Not only is this the most affordable smoker on this list for the 4th of July, but it's also the one with the smallest footprint. If you already have a grill on your patio and can't justify taking up a ton of extra space with a secondary smoker, this Oklahoma Joe's model will do the trick, and for even less cash thanks to the $70 holiday discount. It ships with one-day delivery to land on your front porch just ahead of this weekend's barbecue.

4th of July grill accessory deals

The best instant-read meat thermometer we've tested is now down to its second-best price to date. Aside when ThermoWorks was cleaning out stock of a specific color, this is your best chance to save on a few designs — all of which are at their specific lowest prices ever, at 30% or more off.

BBQ-Aid Grill Brush and Scraper

If your existing grill has seen better days, put this two-in-one grill brush and scraper to work and speed through cleaning off its grates before guests arrive this weekend because Amazon will ship it to you before the barbecue with Prime delivery. It has a 38% discount that drops it down to the lowest price of the year.

Each of the four models, regardless of size, has enough savings for you to buy this cover as well and still come out at a total price that's below retail. That makes this cover a must-have for protecting your new patio investment through summer showers and the off-season.

HexClad Medium Walnut Cutting Board

If you plan to use your grill this summer to make steaks, a key part of the cooking process is letting your finished cut of meat rest on a cutting board before you slice into it. Resting your steak after grilling can help lock in the juiciness and prevent drying it out. This HexClad cutting board will help your cause and is now 20% off at Amazon (after selling out directly from HexClad's own site).
