Your wife may already have this event marked on her calendar, but this year, it’s time for us to cash in too…

Amazon Prime Day is back once again. The whole thing technically runs June 23-26. But the early grill deals are already live right now, and Serious Eats tracked the deals that us dead meat enthusiasts should be watching.

Some of the best prices of the year are happening before the official event even starts.

Here's where the real money savers are right now…

THE GRILLS AND SMOKERS

  • Traeger Woodridge Pellet Grill: $800 (was $900). One of Serious Eats' top pellet grill picks, for $100 off. If the Woodridge has been on your list, this is the time to strike.

  • Cuisinart 36" Vertical Propane Smoker: $260 (was $400). $140 off a gas smoker that holds great capacity. (And it’s the most dramatic price cut on this list.)

  • Kamado Joe Jr. Charcoal Grill: $430 (was $500). The compact Kamado for under $500. It’s ceramic construction, plus a high-heat ceiling, and this is the edition that travels. It’s hard to find a better entry to the Kamado world at this price.

THE ACCESSORIES WE’RE GRABBING

  • Grillart Bristle-Free Grill Brush: $40 (was $50). 25% off the brush that Serious Eats recommends. Don’t let wire bristles wind up in your food.

  • Outset Collapsible Chimney Starter: $38 (was $54). The easiest way to start charcoal, now $16 off. If you're still using a bottle of lighter fluid every time you cook out, let’s fix that.

  • ThermoPro TP20 Wireless Meat Thermometer: $43 (was $57). This thing uses radio frequency for fast, accurate temps. No phone app required, for those who feel some type of way about that.

WHILE YOU'RE SHOPPING

Food & Wine also put together a list of the best grill accessories under $25 on Amazon: grill mats, skewers, basting brushes, corn holders, and other small stuff that's easy to forget until you need it mid-cook.

DON'T WAIT ON PRIME DAY

Some of these deals won't get better when the official sale starts. Now might be the perfect time to jump on it.

What do you think, Dead Meat Society? Picking anything up before Prime Day officially kicks off?
