This year, Amazon’s gargantuan Prime Day event will take place just after America’s birthday — from July 8–11 — and there’s an entire Eater guide to navigating the best early deals that are actually worth your time (no weenie under-15-percent-off-deals here, partner) so that you can be in-and-out of Bezos’ dizzying behemoth in no time. You’re simply too cool to spend time indoors this July, and you simply have too many garlic-shrimp skewers to season to worry about which grill basket you’re going to put them in — we found it here, and it’s 50 percent off.
Here’s a handful of the best early Amazon Prime Day grilling and outdoor entertaining deals, whether you’re shopping for the perfect projector for a small patio space, a gift for an illustrious griller, or a giant cooler for keeping drinks ice-cold.
This popular propane grill is $125 off
Talk about a perfect small-space or first timer grill: This under-50-inch-wide grill comes with two porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates, and an additional porcelain-enameled cast-iron griddle for even more cooking.
This grill cart can fit a pizza oven (and is 20% off)
A painter needs their palette. A grill demon deserves a stainless steel cart that can hold all of their meats, vegetables, tools, and ambitions on wheels.
Host dinner-and-a-movie nights with this outdoor projector
“I wanted to make the outdoor screening of Tampopo, but I just live too far away from the park” is not a fate I wish upon anyone this summer. Instead, make ramen at home and screen the cult film with this chic little projector while it’s 50 percent off.
This Coleman cooler can keep drinks cold for five days
There’s an entire Eater guide to the best coolers, but this Coleman beast deserves its own shoutout at 26 percent off. Plus, it claims to keep drinks icy-cool for five days, which feels like an impressive design feature as well as a… challenge? Into it.
Prevent smaller veggies from falling into the grill’s cracks
This just might be the pick I’m the most excited about in this round-up, because I cannot stress the number of times I have shed a tear over the perfect mushroom being lost to the cracks of a fiery grill. In fact, think of it more as a magic wand for making sure your precious grill cargo never slips away or receives uneven grilling (just roll it around!) again.
This two-tiered fire-pit-grill hybrid is 33% off
Want a fire pit? Want a grill (or two)? We love an all-in-one setup that doesn’t make you pick.
This 19-piece grill set would make a great gift
Every summer, like clockwork, I realize that I’m minus a key pair of barbecue tongs or flippers (having left them at a friend’s house the year before). Instead of commandeering my indoor kitchen tools from yet another friend-of-a-friend’s yard or beach picnic, I will be investing in a dedicated grill set that includes a grill spatula, fork, tongs, a knife, a basting and cleaning brush, corn holders, and a set of steak knives.
