If our recent Decoder interview with Weber Blackstone CEO Roger Dahle has you craving freshly grilled meats or veggies, Weber just so happens to have a variety of grills, smokers, griddles, and accessories selling at big discounts ahead of the July 4th holiday. It makes a bunch of models, but we’ve landed on a range of grills and griddles at varying price points. Weber is cheaper than other retailers by about $50 on most of these picks, but we’ve noted where you may be able to find them at a comparable price from local hardware stores like Home Depot or Ace.
For occasional cookouts in the backyard, the Spirit E-325 is a basic but reliable option with three burners. It’s available in either propane for $499 (usually $549) or natural gas for $549 (usually $599), a signifcant markdown considering how rarely they go on sale. The grilling surface is 360 square inches, enough space for a few burgers for you and your friends, and there’s a 90 square inch warming rack for toasting buns or for more delicate items that you don’t want to be as charred. This version features two searing zones with higher heat output for finishing steaks, a nice addition over the more basic $449 E-310.
