Amazon offers Weber, Traeger grill deals

CNN Underscored and Food & Wine published Memorial Day shopping roundups on May 23 that pointed readers to Amazon discounts on grills from Weber, Traeger, Ninja and Cuisinart. The coverage landed as retailers pushed outdoor-cooking promotions ahead of Memorial Day gatherings and as deal editors framed the holiday weekend as a key buying window for grills and smokers. CNN Underscored said Memorial Day weekend was bringing some of the year’s lowest prices on grills, while Food & Wine assembled a separate Amazon-specific list of 30 grilling deals. ### Which outlets flagged the deals, and when? May 23 was the publication date cited for both roundups highlighted in the deal coverage. CNN Underscored’s Memorial Day sales article said its editors had found the “best Memorial Day sales” live for the long weekend and included grill discounts featuring Weber and Traeger. Food & Wine published its own roundup the same day focused on Amazon grilling bargains. (msn.com) Food & Wine’s article identified Amazon as the retailer and named Weber, Traeger, Ninja and Cuisinart among the brands in its list. CNN Underscored’s broader sales roundup separately pointed to grill markdowns and described the holiday weekend as a period with some of the year’s lowest grill pricing. ### Which brands kept showing up in the Memorial Day grill coverage? (edition.cnn.com) Weber and Traeger appeared across multiple Memorial Day grill roundups published this week. Food & Wine’s Amazon list included both brands alongside Ninja and Cuisinart, while CNN Underscored’s sales coverage also cited Weber and Traeger in its grill deal selections. USA Today and Yahoo Shopping also published grill-deal roundups that named Weber, Traeger and other outdoor-cooking brands, showing that those manufacturers were central to the holiday promotion cycle beyond Amazon alone. (msn.com) WIRED, in a separate Memorial Day deals article published May 23, said some of its recommended grills, griddles and pellet smokers were discounted by as much as $250. (edition.cnn.com) ### Was Amazon the only place pushing grill discounts? Amazon was a prominent part of the Memorial Day coverage, but it was not the only retailer mentioned in holiday grill roundups. Food & Wine’s article was specifically about Amazon deals, while other outlets pointed shoppers to Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walmart, Best Buy, REI and Ace for competing promotions. (usatoday.com) Bob Vila and other shopping sites also published early-sale articles before the holiday weekend, describing markdowns on gas grills, charcoal grills and smokers. That broader pattern suggests Amazon’s Weber and Traeger offers were part of a wider Memorial Day retail push rather than a stand-alone sale. ### Why were grills getting so much attention this weekend? Memorial Day weekend is a major shopping moment for outdoor-cooking gear, and publishers treated it that way in their seasonal coverage. (track.foodandwine.com) CNN Underscored said the weekend was producing some of the year’s lowest grill prices, and several other outlets published buyer guides or “best deals” lists timed to late-May cookout demand. Food & Wine tied its Amazon roundup directly to grilling season, packaging 30 deals into a single holiday list. (bobvila.com) Separate coverage from lifestyle and shopping sites emphasized discounts on pellet grills, gas grills, smokers and griddles, with Traeger and Weber repeatedly named among the featured brands. (edition.cnn.com) ### What should readers watch next? May 26, Memorial Day itself, is the next obvious cutoff for many of the promotions described in the roundups, though several articles cautioned that deal availability could change during the weekend. Retail and media deal pages from Amazon, CNN Underscored and Food & Wine remained the clearest places to track whether Weber, Traeger, Ninja and Cuisinart offers were still live.
