Best Time to Buy Lowe’s Grills
First things first, when should you buy a new grill to get the most bang for your buck? If you’re the patient sort, wait until after peak grilling season (right after the 4th of July). From then until October, stores start heavily discounting current models to make room for new inventory. If you’re not so keen on waiting, be on the lookout for Lowe’s sales throughout the year—especially the Lowe’s Black Friday Sale—to get additional savings.
Over Labor Day weekend this year, the American Gourmet Black 3-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill was $129.99 ($20 off its normal price) and the Pit Boss 600-square-inch Black Pellet Grill was $349 ($50 off its normal price). Of course, these sales change every year but this is your best bet for getting a deal on Lowe’s grills.

Lowe’s Grills By Type
One of the most important factors when choosing a grill is the fuel type. The type of fuel your grill uses will impact your cooking method as well as how your food tastes. Lowe’s carries gas, charcoal, pellet, electric, smoker, flat top, and combo grills. Below, we’ll dive into the benefits of the most popular options (gas, charcoal, and pellet) along with a few of the top-rated grills from Lowe’s.
Lowe’s Gas Grills
The gas grill is fueled by either an attachable liquid propane tank or your home’s gas supply line. Gas grills’ main selling point is their convenience. They are typically easier to clean up and manage than charcoal grills. They may also be cheaper to maintain—if you hook up your gas grill to your house, paying for a little additional gas when you use it is pretty cost-efficient. Gas grills also have the benefit of heating up quickly, whereas a charcoal grill needs time to reach the perfect temperature. It can also be easier to control that temperature with gas—all you have to do is turn the dial.
Lowe’s Charcoal Grills
Charcoal grills burn using charcoal briquettes or lumps of charcoal—giving your food more of a smoky flavor like the traditional taste of barbeque. If you’re a barbeque purist, this may be the way to go. However, be prepared to devote a little extra time to preheating and cleaning up.
Lowe’s Pellet Grills
Pellet grills burn wooden pellets as their fuel, which adds a nice smoky, wood-fired flavor to food. Most have a built-in computer system that heats the grill to your desired temperature. The downside of the pellet grill is that they tend to be a little pricier and pellets can be harder to track down compared to propane or charcoal.
Saving Hack: If you find a better price on a grill somewhere else, Lowe’s will likely price match it as part of their Price Promise. It does need to be the exact same item and currently in stock.
