Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, meaning it's also the kickoff to grilling season. Whether you're celebrating the holiday weekend with a barbecue or plan to spend the entire summer cooking outdoors, it's a great chance to upgrade your current grill. From wood-fired pellet grills to easy-to-use propane grills, there are some awesome Memorial Day grills sales happening at retailers like Walmart, Lowe's, Amazon and Wayfair this weekend.

Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a grill?

"Now is one of the best times to find grill sales if you're looking to shop ahead of barbecue season," according to Nicole Papantoniou, Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab director at the Good Housekeeping Institute. "While the steepest discounts on grills can be found at the end of the summer, if you need or want a new grill now, there are plenty of deals worth checking out during Memorial Day weekend."

And there's more where that came from. Prepare for tailgate season with a portable grill that packs into a bag. Take the guesswork out of smoking meats with a high-tech Wi-Fi enabled pellet grill. Or opt for a foldable grill on wheels that's easy to load in and out of your vehicle on camping trips. Either way, you'll be ready to fire up the grill with these Memorial Day weekend deals.
