Should you shop July 4th grill deals or wait until Prime Day?
With Prime Day kicking off just a few days after the Fourth of July, the line between these two events will likely be pretty hazy. The Fourth of July is practically synonymous with cookouts and barbecues so you can expect that most of the very best discounts will coincide with the Independence Day weekend. We'd recommend shopping the current wave of deals, rather than holding out for additional bargains later on.

How we choose the best grill and smoker July 4th deals
Our team of expert shoppers and deal-hunters spent years helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Fourth of July and countless other shopping events. We've become very good at weeding out scams and superficial deals so you see only the best grills and smokers from retailers all over.
We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.
- Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for all of the grills to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
- Quality reviews are important for any product but especially for deeply discounted grills. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn't really worthwhile.
- Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a grill deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know upfront so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
