Memorial Day grill discounts up to $200

CNET said on Friday, May 22, that Memorial Day promotions on grills had reached as much as $200 off, adding to a broader holiday sales push on outdoor cooking gear ahead of the long weekend. The outlet’s roundup said the discounts covered gas, electric and other grill types, with offers collected from major retailers through Monday night. Other retailers were also advertising Memorial Day grill markdowns online on Friday, including Home Depot and Lowe’s. The sales arrive as U.S. shoppers prepare for backyard cookouts during one of the busiest grilling weekends of the year. ### Which retailers were showing grill discounts on Friday? CNET said its Memorial Day grill deals guide was live on May 22 and included gas, electric and other models with discounts reaching $200. The article framed the offers as part of a last-minute holiday shopping window for weekend barbecues. Home Depot was running a dedicated “Memorial Day Sale” section for grills on Friday, with products from Nexgrill, Traeger, Weber and Oklahoma Joe’s listed on sale. The page showed a Traeger Pro Series 22 pellet grill at $389.99, down from $549.99, and a Nexgrill 4-burner propane gas grill at $199, down from $249. (cnet.com) DealNews, which tracks retail promotions, said Lowe’s Memorial Day grill sale included brands such as Weber, Blackstone, Pit Boss, Char-Broil and Napoleon. The site said savings varied by item and highlighted free delivery on most items. ### Where did the $200 figure show up? DealNews said one of Lowe’s biggest named markdowns was $200 off the Weber Searwood XL 600 pellet grill, which it listed at $1,199 during the sale. (homedepot.com) The same roundup also pointed to $150 off a Char-Broil Commercial Series 4-burner infrared combo grill, priced at $549. (dealnews.com) CNET’s own roundup said discounts on Memorial Day grill offers reached “up to $200 off,” making that figure the clearest headline number in the holiday promotion cycle described on Friday. The article grouped those offers across several grill categories rather than limiting them to one fuel type. ### What kinds of grills were included in the promotions? (dealnews.com) CNET said the deals spanned gas, electric and other grill models, reflecting a mix of traditional barbecue equipment and newer outdoor cooking formats. Its grills coverage page also shows the site tracks multiple categories, including gas grills, pellet grills and portable models. TechRadar reported this week that Memorial Day grill deals were appearing across Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy, with discounts that included pellet grills, smokers, griddles and portable charcoal models. (cnet.com) The outlet highlighted brands including Ninja, Pit Boss and Traeger in its holiday roundup. Home Depot’s sale page on Friday similarly showed a mix of propane gas grills, charcoal grills, smokers and griddles, including products from Weber, Nexgrill, Traeger and Oklahoma Joe’s. ### How broad were the markdowns beyond the headline deal? TechRadar said some Memorial Day grill promotions at major retailers reached as much as 50% off, depending on model and seller. (techradar.com) Its examples included a Pit Boss gas griddle marked down from $599.99 to $299.99 and a Traeger Pro 22 pellet grill at $389, down from $549.95. (homedepot.com) Home Depot’s Friday listings showed smaller and midrange cuts alongside deeper markdowns, including $50 off selected Nexgrill units and about $160 off the Traeger Pro Series 22 pellet grill. Those examples suggest retailers were using a range of price points to attract shoppers before Memorial Day. ### How long do these Memorial Day offers last? (techradar.com) CNET said its roundup aggregates grill offers through Monday night, giving shoppers a defined end point tied to the Memorial Day weekend. The retailer pages reviewed on Friday were already showing live inventory, sale pricing and delivery or pickup timing. Friday, May 22, was the first full day of the holiday weekend sales window in the United States, and the next step for shoppers is straightforward: compare retailer listings before Memorial Day on Monday, May 25, when CNET said the roundup’s tracked offers are scheduled to end.
