Weber marks down grills and griddles to their best prices ever for July 4th

The Weber Spirit E-325 grill with three burners. | Image: Weber 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. Weber Spirit E-325 Where to Buy: $549 $499 at Weber (propane) $599 $549 at Weber (natural gas) If you’re looking for a flattop with a drip catch for oil, there’s a $50 discount available on the Slate 30-inch rust-resistant griddle, bringing the price down to $649, which beats Home Depot’s price by $50. The cooking surface can reach up to 500 degrees and heats up in minutes, with wind guards to make sure everything cooks quickly and evenly. The 30-inch griddle is a good pick for a big party as it can cook about 22 burgers at once, while the larger 36-inch version can cook 30. Only the propane version of the 30-inch griddle is discounted, so you’ll have to go with either a larger or smaller version if you have a natural gas connection. For a more portable option, there’s a $50 discount happening on the 17-inch tabletop griddle with the same rust-resistant carbon-steel cooking surface as the full-size griddles, but with a smaller $249 price tag. This compact unit is great for camping, and can reach up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a disposable propane cylinder that’s not included. The adjustable feet help keep your oil evenly spread, which is handy if you’re cooking on an uneven surface. We spotted this deal at both Home Depot and Ace Hardware if you’re trying to find one locally. For something deluxe, you can save $100 on the Searwood XL 600, bringing the price down to $1,199. The pellet grill can smoke at temperatures as low as 180 degrees Fahrenheit for long, slow cooks, or sear at up to 600 degrees for burgers and steaks. With 972 square inches of cooking space, Weber estimates that’s enough for 20 burgers if you use both layers. There’s a smaller Searwood 600 that’s also discounted if you need to fit into a small space, but I think having the extra room on the larger version is worth the $200 price difference between the two models.
