You still have time to upgrade your charcoal- or gas-grill, smoker, or even an outdoor pizza oven to take your Independence Day party to the next level. Right now, Lowe’s has some big 4th of July grill deals that can save big money; so you can buy more steaks and brats. The best news is, you can buy one of these online while you’re reading this, and pick it up at your local store within hours.
I have both a charcoal grill and a pellet smoker in my backyard. One is good for high-heat grilling for things like steaks, burgers, fajitas, veggies, anything you want to char and cook quick. My smoker is for low and slow; ribs, pork shoulders, ribs, or the kingcut of BBQ, a brisket. I know a lot of you like gas grills, I used one for a lot of years too, and there are plenty of those at great prices.
This Char-Broil Performance Series 4-burner Propane Gas Grill for $179.00 will cook up some serious burgers and brats for a good-sized backyard party. It even has a side burner to get some queso going. If you lean more towards a smashburger, then you may want to go with the Blackstone 36-inch Omnivore Flat Top Grill for $449. Then, over the weekend, you can also do some perfectly griddled pancakes for brunch.
If you’re doing something a little smaller and cooking for a giant crowd, you could all have personal pies with an Xspracer Stainless Steel Hearth Wood Pellet Outdoor Pizza Oven for $429.00 that will give you Neapolitan-style thin crust right in your backyard. There’s plenty more variety whether you need portable or even something that can be built in. Happy Independent cooking.
