Best grill deal

Why we like it

If you're planning on doing some outdoor cooking around the 4th this year, let this outdoor griddle do all the heavy lifting. It has a pre-seasoned carbon steel cook top that you can use as soon as you unbox it that heats up to 500 degrees evenly, edge-to-edge. That means you can cook everything from burgers and pancakes to fajitas and paninis with ease. It has an interchangeable system that lets you keep both cooking and cleaning supplies at the ready as well, so you can keep slinging the food out as needed. Plus, it has a storage shelf that you can use to keep all your essentials, as well as a digital temperature readout.
