Best Griddle Deals
WHY WE LOVE GRIDDLES
Great for new backyard grillers
Versatile for cooking everything from burgers to pancakes
WHY WE LOVE IT
It looks and mostly feels like the traditional propane backyard grill, with the two-wheeled cart and two independently controlled cooking areas. Still, it provides a flat top cooking surface, expanding the cooking potential to many items you may not think to cook out back. Pancakes and eggs, anyone?
Griddles are a relatively new addition to the backyard cooking game but at-home chefs are raving about the versatility of these flat-top cooking spaces. "Love this griddle! We are serious health food advocates and this can cook things healthier, by more 'graceful' cooking (no direct flames) as long as you ballpark the heat, so you get less charring," shared one happy shopper at Walmart.
WHY WE LOVE IT
We can't say enough about a flat-top griddle for outdoor cooking and this 26-inch, 2-burner model is gaining popularity with grill masters. It will fit 18 burgers at a time, has two side countertops and an enclosed cabinet below to keep all your griddle accessories.
Best Gas Grill Deals
WHY WE LOVE GAS GRILLS
Classic and easy for fast backyard BBQ-ing
Great compact options for small backyards
WHY WE LOVE IT
This Weber grill is perfect for any small space patio but doesn't compromise on the amount of food you can cook, fitting about a dozen burgers at one shot. There's prep area on each side to give you extra outdoor workspace.
WHY WE LOVE IT
This 5-burner gas grill has all you need in one stylish package that will look great on any deck, patio or outdoor kitchen area. With 480-square-inches of grilling space plus a side burner, you can cook for the whole family in one shot. Plus, it looks great with its sleek design and chrome finish. Talk about a way to celebrate Independence Day!
WHY WE LOVE IT
It looks like a grill from the future but works just like what you're used to. The two side counters give plenty of prep space and the two burners give just under 400 square inches of cook space.
Liquid propane, or gas grills, may not give you the perfect sear the way a charcoal grill can, but they still boast many perks. Gas grills are more convenient — faster, less hassle, etc. — but charcoal gives that flavor that's hard to replicate any other way. Here are our favorite charcoal grill deals.
Best Charcoal Grill Deals
WHY WE LOVE CHARCOAL GRILLS
Adjustable charcoal pans allow you to control the heat
Has models with varying levels of bells and whistles
WHY WE LOVE IT
This is a heavy-duty charcoal grill perfect for anyone cooking for the masses. It's sturdy and solid with a crank handle for adjusting the charcoal pan to your liking so you have more control of the heat on your rather large cooking surface.
WHY WE LOVE IT
It's a classic, that's why! This is a quintessential staple for any backyard but is pretty perfect for tight spaces. There aren't any real bells and whistles, but if that is not what you're looking for, you can't go wrong with this Weber classic.
"Been grilling on the same Weber 22” original charcoal grill since 2006. Replaced the grate and bottom vent covers a couple times. Minimal cleaning for 100’s of hours of quality grilling meats and veggies," explained one very happy customer.
WHY WE LOVE IT
This takes charcoal grilling to the next level. You don't have a bright red grill in your backyard if you don't mean business. The 2-Tier Divide and Conquer Flexible Cooking System gives you multiple cooking areas at varying degrees so you can multitask during your grilling experience.
Best Smoker Deals
WHY WE LOVE SMOKERS
Unbeatable flavor other grills just can't replicate
Plenty of price points available
Nothing can replicate the taste of a smoker. Whether you want to try something new or are already well aware of why smokers are all the rage, below are a few faves that are multi-functional and affordable!
WHY WE LOVE IT
This isn't a full-sized smoker, so if you're not yet ready to turn your backyard into a BBQ pit, this may be just what you're looking for. There's an offset smoker to help circulate heat, a lid-mounted thermometer gauge for temperature monitoring and a height-adjustable charcoal pan to control that heat.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Think of wood pellet smokers as more like ovens, offering multiple cooking options — grill, smoke, roast, bake, sear, you name it — so you can justify the hefty price tag. You'll get a nice wood flavor and use all-natural hardwood pellets to fire it up. While these are growing in popularity, they are for a more serious grill master.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Similar to its much larger cousin above, this smaller Pit Boss pellet grill is a fan favorite. You'll get most of the same features as the 55" grill, and the same great flavors, but with a much smaller footprint.
It's just a joy to cook on, the temp is stable and the meat cooks evenly. Clean up is not existent, not enough ask from pellets to worry about," shared a 5-star giving customer.
Best Portable Grill Deals
WHY WE LOVE PORTABLE GRILLS
Compact and versatile
Same great grilling flavors
If you do a lot of camping or are spending the summer crossing the country in an RV, you will definitely want to check out our top picks for portable grills. These on-the-go grills offer affordability, portability, and easy storing — not to mention hours of tasty fun without the campfire dangers and mess.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Coleman has long had the market on campsite cooking, and this RoadTrip Portable Stand-Up grill is no exception. It's wildly popular and for good reason. You don't have to compromise on any of the features you love in your backyard grill with eight adjustable burners and 285 square inches of cooking surface, but when it's time to head home, you just fold it up and wheel it out.
WHY WE LOVE IT
For less than $50, you can have a Cuisinart cooking experience wherever you go. It's incredibly lightweight (only two pounds) but still offers a decent cooking surface, this portable charcoal grill is what you'll see at many tailgates and campsites.
Best Outdoor Cooking Prep Space Deals
For those who want the feel of an outdoor kitchen but cannot drop tens of thousands to make it happen, here a few of our favorite products to help you get that outdoor kitchen feel without the hefty price tag.
WHY WE LOVE IT
This all-weather plastic and metal prep table is the perfect addition to any outdoor kitchen. The storage and prep table will help keep things running smoothly during your next backyard BBQ.
WHY WE LOVE IT
This modular outdoor kitchen sink and counter is a serious addition to your outdoor setup. It's designed to make entertaining easier and comes with a fully functional sink and power outlets. It's sturdy, so you don't have to worry about the weather knocking it around.
WHY WE LOVE IT
This multifunctional, heavy-duty kitchen food prep worktable is a great size, sturdy and on wheels. The two lower shelves and side hooks give you ample space to store items when you're not cooking, and the stainless steel top makes for easy clean up.
