The smart home and home-security deals I've seen for Home Depot are either not great deals—or they're on older models or services like Ring that WIRED doesn't recommend for privacy reasons. Check out WIRED's Best Tech Labor Day Deals of 2026, or the Best Amazon Labor Day Deals, if this is what you're after. But here are the best deals on tools and grills that I've found for 2026's Home Depot Labor Day sale, or check out my colleague Kat Merck's Labor Day deals guide to getting an excellent tool starter kit for less than $400.
You can also browse Home Depot's Labor Day deals by category, but fair warning: There's a lot to sift through. Home Depot Labor Day Grill and Griddle Deals The steepest Labor Day price cuts are often on grills and griddles. At Home Depot, the best deals are on Traeger's stock of pellet smokers that offer easy temperature control, but maybe a little less smoke than charcoal or wood cookers.
These have the side benefit of maintaining utility through the cool months. In the temperate, four-season Pacific Northwest, I actually far prefer fall to summer as a grill and smoker season. Discounts include a cool hundo off the basic model of Traeger's Woodridge smart pellet grill, whose bigger, upgraded version, the Woodridge Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends), was WIRED's previous top-pick pellet smoker.
Its no-fuss operation and cleaning, sophisticated temperature control, and absolute beastly capacity set it apart. But Home Depot's steepest discount is on Traeger's standby, entry-level Pro 22 smoker. We have not tested this recently, but after a dozen years it's a near-classic, and $390 is the lowest price it's seen all year.
Other deals among WIRED-recommended grills include $50 off a couple of Weber's durable, last-you-forever standbys—the Weber Kettle and the Weber Spirit E-210. I and fellow WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson tend to love these two models precisely because they are basic, durable, reliable, and low-cost. The Weber Kettle, especially, can be upgraded with smart features into a temp-controlled, smart-charcoal beast.
This $50 off deal tends to be the standard Weber deal. But the price already starts out affordable, and so the sale price amounts to an excellent value on a grill that's likely to be with you a while. If you'd like your kettle in green, you can get it for half off, a mere $100.
