Best grill and grill deals for July 4th: Weber, Traeger, Recteq

However, the $100 price reduction is the same in both sizes. So the best deal of all is definitely the two-burner version, down to just $699 for the Fourth of July weekend.

Note that despite the lack of sales, Traeger released a budget grill line called the Irontop this year. I tested it and found that the wind shield is better than the more expensive version. The same applies to the stability of the grill legs. The cooking plate is the same, but the simplified burner design means there are more visible hot spots, largely towards the front of the griddle above the burners. On trade, a massive 36-inch, four-burner Irontop costs just $599.

Weber Spirit E-210 for $399 ($50 off)

Weber

Spirit E-210 Gas Grill

The Weber Spirit 200 Series has been WIRED’s choice for years as the best gas grill for most people. It is simple, compact and affordable. The temperature is equal. Propane levels are easy to adjust. Like a lot of Webers, the extra accessories and options are as good as can be, meaning you can create a great workspace. And right now, the already affordable Weber device is a solid $50 off.

Weber Slate 3-Burner Griddle for $549 ($50 off)

The Weber Slate line of stainless grills may offer the best overall cooking experience of any grills I’ve tested, though the top-line Traeger still beats them at even heat. The workstation is spacious, with a fold-out extension and side table that can be tricked out with Weber’s full add-on suite: a hanging storage box ($42), a condiment jar ($25), you name it. The smaller, 28-inch, three-burner model from the Slate line is among the best griddle values ​​I’ve seen at regular price. At $50 off, it’s absolutely fantastic.

Traeger Woodridge Pro for $1,000 ($150 off)

The Traeger Woodridge Pro (8/10, WIRED recommends) was WIRED’s previous best pellet grill, and it’s still a hit. It’s not as dialed in heat as the Recteq Flagship 1600, and the app doesn’t offer the same long cooking history, but the Woodridge Pro may be a better value dollar for dollar than the Recteq: At $150 off, it’s a cent less than four figures. The Woodridge Pro is easy to clean, quick to connect for the perfect rack of ribs, and large enough to cook pork bellies at the same time.
