When Do Home Depot Grills Go on Sale? Grill Clearance Guide

When do Home Depot grills go on sale or clearance?

Grills follow the outdoor season. The deepest clearance usually comes from late summer into fall, when stores clear older models and leftover stock before winter. Warmer regions may keep grills on the floor longer.

Because every store sets its own clearance, check more than one store near you.

Clearance vs. grill sales

Home Depot often runs grill sales around holiday weekends like Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day. Those are temporary promotions. Clearance is for stock the store wants to move out, and it usually keeps going down until it sells. Read Special Buy vs. clearance to tell them apart.

What goes on clearance

Gas grills, especially last year's models
Charcoal grills and smokers
Pellet grills
Griddles
Covers, tools and accessories (often the deepest markdowns)
Assembled display grills

What to check on a clearance grill

All burners and the igniter. Ask if you can see it light, if possible.
Grates, knobs and the warming rack. Small parts go missing on display grills.
The regulator and hose on gas grills.
Wheels and doors.
The return window. Gas-powered equipment commonly has a shorter return window under Home Depot's published policy. Ask the store and keep your receipt. See returning clearance items.

Tips to get the best grill deal

Ask about floor models at the end of the season. Assembled grills save you hours.
Watch for lone accessories like covers and tool sets, which often drop further.
Track the grill you want. Add it to the PennyLoot Price Tracker and get an email when the price drops at your stores.

Gas, charcoal, pellet or griddle?

Type	Clearance tip
Gas	Most common on clearance. Check burners, igniter and regulator.
Charcoal	Simple, fewer parts to go missing. Great value on clearance.
Pellet	Check the controller and auger. Ask if it was ever fired up.
Griddle	Check the cooktop surface for rust or warping.
Smoker	Check door seals and racks.

Floor model or boxed?

Floor model: already assembled, which saves hours. Check every part works and nothing is missing.
Boxed: new, all parts inside, but you'll assemble it yourself. Check the box isn't opened or crushed.

Accessories are the hidden deal

Grill covers, tool sets, thermometers, pizza stones and cleaning kits get marked down alongside grills, often deeper because stores want the shelf space. If you already have a grill, these can be the best part of grill clearance.

Off-season buying

If you can wait, buying at the very end of the season means the biggest discount, but the smallest choice. Buying at the first markdown means more choice and less savings. Decide which matters more for you.
