CNN: Weber, Traeger Memorial Day grill deals

CNN Underscored published a Memorial Day shopping guide on Thursday that rounded up grill deals from Weber, Traeger and Kamado Joe across major retailers. The article said it highlighted 27 discounted grills and accessories for the holiday weekend, with sale pricing and bundle offers tied to retailers including direct-to-brand storefronts and big-box chains. CNN Underscored’s deals hub also listed the item under Memorial Day coverage on Friday. ### Which brands are actually running Memorial Day promotions? Kamado Joe said on its promotions page that its Memorial Day sale runs from May 14 through May 27 and covers grills and accessories, with free shipping on orders over $200. The company said the offers are limited-time and available while supplies last. Weber said on its U.S. sale page that it is running a “MEMORIAL DAY SALE” on pellet grills, griddles and premium tools. (edition.cnn.com) A separate Weber special-offers page said one promotion gives $100 off pellet grills and the Weber Smoque pellet smoker from May 13 through May 27, or until supplies last. Traeger’s sale page showed multiple discounted pellet grills on Friday, including the Pro 22 at $389.99 from $549.99 and the Pro 34 at $499.99 from $729.99. (kamadojoe.com) The same page also listed markdowns on Woodridge, Ironwood and Timberline models. ### Where are the discounts showing up outside the brand sites? The Home Depot listed a Memorial Day grill sale on Friday that included both Traeger and Weber models. (weber.com) Its sale page showed the Traeger Pro Series 22 pellet grill at $389.99, down from $549.99, and the Weber Jumbo Joe Premium 22-inch charcoal grill at $99. (traeger.com) Ace Hardware’s grill sale page also showed discounted products from Weber and Traeger. On the page indexed this week, Ace listed the Traeger Woodridge at $799 from $899.99, the Traeger Woodridge Pro at $999 from $1,149.99, and Weber’s Slate 28-inch griddle at $549 from $599. ### What does the CNN Underscored guide appear to be doing? (homedepot.com) CNN Underscored’s listing on its deals page described the story as “Memorial Day grill deals” that “take hundreds off Weber, Traeger, Kamado Joe and more.” The article sits alongside the outlet’s broader Memorial Day sales coverage, which groups grills with other seasonal outdoor purchases. (acehardware.com) The available source material indicates the guide is acting as a cross-retailer roundup rather than a single-store promotion. That inference is supported by the overlap between CNN Underscored’s description and live sale pages at Weber, Traeger, Kamado Joe, Home Depot and Ace Hardware. ### Which numbers matter most if you are comparing offers? (edition.cnn.com) Traeger’s direct sale page showed some of the clearest markdowns in dollar terms, including $200 off the Pro 34 and $200 off the Ironwood. Weber’s verified promotion language was more selective, with named discounts such as $100 off pellet grills and smaller cuts on griddles and accessories. Kamado Joe’s public promotion page confirmed timing and category-wide participation, but not a single headline markdown in the indexed snippet. (edition.cnn.com) Home Depot’s Friday listings matched Traeger’s direct-sale price on the Pro Series 22 at $389.99, suggesting at least some retailer pricing is moving in step with brand promotions. Ace’s listings showed a similar pattern on newer Traeger and Weber products, though exact availability can vary by store. (traeger.com) ### When do these offers end? Kamado Joe gave the clearest public end date, saying its Memorial Day sale runs through May 27. Weber’s special-offers page also set May 27 as the end date for at least one pellet-grill promotion, unless supplies run out sooner. Traeger’s sale page described the discounts as limited-time offers but did not show a single universal end date in the indexed result. (homedepot.com) CNN Underscored published its roundup on May 22, at the start of the Memorial Day weekend shopping window. Brand pages and retailer listings reviewed Friday showed the offers were live that day at Weber, Traeger, Kamado Joe, Home Depot and Ace Hardware. (edition.cnn.com) (kamadojoe.com)
