Best Grill Black Friday Deals 2026

The 2025 Spirit E-325 is the grill we would buy for most households. Weber added a sear zone and new ignition to its mid-range gas grill, and the reviews followed: Smoked BBQ Source called it possibly the best Spirit yet, and SmokyHQ, which bought and tested one, named it the best gas grill for the money after measuring even heat across the grate. It suits a family of four who grill on weeknights.

Skip it if you regularly cook for eight; the main grate gets crowded, and the sear zone only covers part of it. Owners also say the 2025 cart feels lighter than the old Spirit II.

It is not discounted yet. At $549 it costs about $30 more than its 90-day average, and it fell to $499 in mid-November last year. We would hold out for that.

The 22-inch kettle is the cheapest full-size grill we would put on a patio. SmokyHQ named it the best grill of any fuel type after it held a low smoking temperature for more than four hours on one load of charcoal, and CNN Underscored found it cooks as well as the pricier Kettle Premium. It suits anyone who wants charcoal flavor without spending much.

It has no lid thermometer and no side tables, and learning the vents takes a few cooks. If you want the thermometer, hinged grate and ash catcher, Weber's Kettle Premium adds them for about $70 more as we checked.

At $149 the kettle costs what it has averaged for the past three months. It dipped to $139 in April, so do not expect a large Black Friday cut.

The Woodridge Pro is for people who want to smoke a brisket without watching it. Smoked BBQ Source made it its beginner pick this month, citing the most reliable app it tested, and Tom's Guide gave it an Editor's Choice for set-and-forget smoking. GearJunkie used one for a year and had just one controller fault.

Skip it if searing matters to you: Smoked BBQ Source, Tom's Guide and T3 all found it weak at high heat, and Tom's Guide found the smoke flavor lighter than expected. The Kamado Joe below sears and smokes, for more money, much more weight and more hands-on fire control.

At about $1,150 it sits right at its 90-day average. It sold for $999 about a week before Black Friday last year, and that is the price we would wait for.

Readers who want breakfast, smash burgers and fried rice for a crowd should look at a flat-top, and the 36-inch Blackstone is the one reviewers keep coming back to. Smoked BBQ Source owned this hoodless version for two years and found it durable, with strong burners and a grease drain that works. SmokyHQ, testing the hooded version, found the thick steel holds heat well, though the edge of each burner zone runs cooler.

It needs seasoning before first use and a cover afterward, because the top rusts if left out. Wind also costs it heat.

We chose this model over Blackstone's hooded version, which cost about $140 more when we checked. At $399, this one is only a few dollars under its 90-day average, but that matches its lowest price of the past year.

The E-210 is the smaller 2025 Spirit, for couples and patios without room for the E-325. It comes from the same 2025 refresh, and Field & Stream put it on its Black Friday list this month. We would have listed the larger Weber Genesis here for frequent hosts, but Amazon had no new stock when we checked.

We found no hands-on review of the 2025 E-210 yet. BBQ Host rated the previous Spirit II E-210 among the best two-burner grills but found it slow to preheat. There is no sear zone, so anyone who wants crusty steaks should spend the extra on the E-325.

At $449 it costs about $30 more than its 90-day average, so this is not a deal yet.

The CGG-306 is our pick for tailgates, camping and small balconies where propane is allowed. Its two burners run independently, so you can sear on one side and keep food warm on the other, which single-burner portables cannot do. Reviewed's tester had it at 500°F in about seven minutes, faster than the Weber Q 1200, and OutdoorGearLab named it the best-value portable grill.

The trade-offs are durability and bulk. OutdoorGearLab questioned how long the handle and folding legs will last, and SmokyHQ found that with a full-size tank it is a two-trip carry.

At about $225 it matches its 90-day average. It sold for about $134 on Cyber Monday last year, so a much better price is possible.

The Woodfire Pro is the grill for balconies and condos where open flame is banned. It is electric, but it burns a small scoop of wood pellets for real smoke flavor, and it also air fries and bakes. Bob Vila's tester scored it 4.9 out of 5 and found it a versatile grill for the size. The built-in thermometer takes the guesswork out of chicken.

The 141 sq in cooking area is small, and it needs an outdoor outlet. Anyone with a patio and no flame rules gets more grill from the Cuisinart or the Spirit E-210.

The price is the problem right now. At $550 it costs about $80 more than its 90-day average and almost twice its $300 low from last November, and Amazon showed a delayed ship date when we checked. Wait for it to drop.

The Classic Joe III is for readers who want one grill that sears steaks and smokes pork shoulder for most of a day. Gardeners' World scored it 4.8 out of 5 for its ceramics and slow cooking, and Coolblue points to the SloRoller insert, which the older Classic II lacks, for turning it into a proper smoker. The ceramics carry a lifetime warranty.

It weighs well over 200 lb, so choose its spot before it arrives, and plan on a few cooks to learn the vents. Some owners have complained about the top vent.

This is the clearest saving on the list. At $1,599 from Amazon it is about $160 under its 90-day average and about $50 above its lowest price of the past year, set in August. Ignore the list price above $2,000; it rarely sells for that.
