Father’s Day 2020 is June 21, and it’s not too early to start looking for excellent grill deals. Fathers aren’t the only family members who cook with grills, but the image of Dad wearing a goofy apron at the grill is such an American icon that Father’s Day grill sales are an annual promotion. The bottom line is you’ll find more good deals for grills in the weeks leading up to Father’s Day than at any other time of the year. These are the best Father’s Day grill deals so far.

How to choose a new grill

  • Size: Choosing the right size grill is your first step. If you usually cook for just two people, for example, a grill with a cooking surface any larger than 200 square inches will cost more to buy and more for fuel than you need.
  • Fuel: Most outdoor grills use either charcoal or liquid propane gas for fuel. Propane grilss are ready to cook faster, and it’s easier to control the temperature when you cook with propane than with charcoal. Charcoal can be hard to light, and it costs more to buy bags and bags of charcoal rather than a standard 20-pound tank of propane gas. On the other hand, however, many purists prefer cooking with charcoal. Some grills use wood or special pellets for fuel, but both are less common than propane and charcoal.
  • Burners: Larger grills usually have multiple burners. If you have just one burner you can’t have low heat and high heat areas on the same grill. Also, if you have a large cooking surface and only one or two burners, the fuel costs will be higher.
  • Portability: Typical backyard grills stay outside on a deck or patio and wouldn’t be considered portable. Portable grills, whether fueled with propane or charcoal, are relatively small and convenient to take on picnics, road trips, tailgate parties, and camping.
  • Construction: Construction materials matter, especially if you want a grill to last for many years. Grills usually are kept outside year-round, subject to weather extremes except for the relatively few times each year they are used to great very high heat. Aluminum or stainless steel bodies are standard, with cast iron or porcelain-coasted cast iron cooking grates.
  • Accessories: Most grill accessories can work with any grill, but some models have custom lights, covers, and tools that can be stored or attached conveniently.

If you’re on a budget, there are some great gaming laptop deals that can keep costs down right now. It’s easy to think you need to spend thousands, but in reality it’s surprising what you can buy for $700. Right now, you can buy the Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop for $700 instead of $1,100. Perfect for students on a budget but still wanting to game on the move, we’re here to tell you all about one of the better laptop deals available today.

Why you should buy the Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop
The Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop won’t be the kind of device you see among the best gaming laptops, but that isn’t to say it’s not worth checking out. It’s well suited for anyone on a tight budget but still looking to game. This particular model has an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor along with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. In an ideal world we'd like to see more, but at this price, we won’t complain too much. The storage space means you’ll need to stick to only having a few AAA games installed, but if you’re more of an indie fan, you’ll find the space goes much further. Either way, storage is the easiest thing to upgrade later.

If you’ve just snagged one of the many Amazon Echo deals around and you’re keen to continue making your home smarter on a budget, we’ve spotted some great smart lighting deals. Today at Best Buy, you can buy Govee LED Strip Lights on slae: just $25 for a 10 foot strip instead of $30, or $41 instead of $50 for 25 feet. We’re focusing on the 50 foot Govee LED Strip Light for $55 instead of $65, as it’s the best discount and you get a huge string of lights for the price. If all that sounds exciting, read on and we’ll tell you all about how well Govee lights work.

Why you should buy the Govee LED Strip Light
While the ruler of the best smart light bulb world is Philips Hue, I’d argue Govee is the best for light strips. I have a lot of Govee lights at home, and they were much more affordable than alternatives and work very well. The only disadvantage is the app isn’t quite as simple to use, but you soon get used to it.
