Nothing says summertime like the smell of fresh-off-the-grill burgers, hot dogs, and steaks. And if you’ve got the patio space and an appetite for July BBQs, one of these Best Buy deals is sure to peak your interest:

Right now, you can purchase the Pit Boss Ultimate Outdoor Gas 4-Burner Griddle for $560 (normally priced at $700), as well as the Pit Boss Sportsman 820 Pellet Grill for $480 (normally priced at $600). These fantastic outdoor appliances are highly rated and packed with features, though we’re not sure exactly how long these markdowns are going to last.

Why you should buy the Pit Boss Ultimate Outdoor Gas 4-Burner Griddle

As the name implies, the Pit Boss Ultimate features a lift-up griddle with four burners. This isn’t just your typical cook surface though, as the griddle is encased in a porcelain coating. The idea is a non-stick cooktop that’s easy to clean. This particular Ultimate model uses liquid propane for fuel and contains a 647-square-inch cooking area. We’re also big fans of the portability factor. Thanks to Pit Boss’ lift-off technology and foldaway shelves, the Ultimate is also a breeze to transport.

For a different kind of backyard BBQ, you should try your hand at cooking with a pellet grill. And if you’re going to go all in on this unique approach, we recommend the Pit Boss Sportsman 820. You can cook just about anything in this bad boy, thanks to multiple cooking modes and a temperature range that runs from 180 degrees to 500 degrees. With 800 square inches of cooking space, the Sportsman also includes a slide plate flame broiler, a built-in spice rank, and the ability to monitor and control cooking cycles via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

These types of grill deals are worth their weight in gold, but we’re not sure how long these discounts will last. Save $140 on the Pit Boss Ultimate and $120 on the Sportsman 820 while these sales last. And while you’re here, you should also take a look at some of the best Bluetooth speaker deals we found this week. After all, a BBQ is nothing without music!

Apple appears to be preparing a much broader push into smart-home hardware, with several new products in development as the company looks to expand beyond the HomePod mini and Apple TV, according to a 9To5Mac report.

The roadmap includes refreshed versions of both existing products, a new smart-home hub with a display, a larger HomePod update, and eventually Apple's first dedicated smart-home security devices. The information comes from recent reporting summarized by 9to5Mac, which notes that Siri's long-awaited AI upgrades could remove one of the obstacles that has held back new Home products.

Lutron just made it easier to control your smart home without touching your phone
Smart home voice control usually means buying yet another speaker or hub. Lutron and Sonos found a simpler fix: use the speaker you probably already own.
Electronics, Speaker, Text

If you’ve lost count of how many remotes and apps you juggle between just to dim a light or skip a song, I have something for you. Lutron just gave its Caseta smart home lineup a new shortcut, letting you control lights, shades, and Sonos playback with your voice alone.

For anyone who is catching up, Caseta is Lutron's do-it-yourself smart lighting system. It’s built around a small hub that basically talks to switches, dimmers, and plugs over a radio signal (instead of Wi-Fi), making it easier to manage the entire setup. While the company has worked alongside Sonos for a while, voice control was the one piece still missing from that partnership. That changes now.

The best smart home gym equipment
Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.
