This Weber Flat Top Grill Is so Cheap for Prime Day (Save $170), I Thought It Was a Mistake
This is not a drill: Weber's three-burner flat top griddle is down to a laughably low $279 (normally $449) at Ace Hardware right now. Forget Amazon Prime Day -- well, except for these bangers -- this is the best summer grill deal you're likely to find all year.
Flat-top griddles, popularized by brands like Blackstone and Weber, have made big waves in the outdoor cooking space. They're loved by owners for their versatility and convenience. Griddles may require a smidge of maintenance to avoid rusting, but day-to-day use doesn't require scrubbing grates or picking food out from the grill's basin.

Another check in the advantages column for flat top grills is the ability to cook certain foods that you can't on a normal grill. I'm talkin' breakfast fare like scrambled eggs, pancakes and bacon, as well as flaky fish that tends to break apart when sizzled over grates.
Yep, now you can even make bacon on the grill like you've always dreamed.

Why this deal matters
I personally tested Weber's flat-top griddle, and, per the brand's high standards, this unit was well built and outperformed others in its price class. The ignition system worked every time, and the three burners distributed heat evenly across the flat-top griddle. Assembly took about 45 minutes, and the grill sports two handy prep shelves and rolls around on wheels if you need to move it.
Ace Hardware is selling Weber's premium griddle for just $279 -- A cool $170 off the normal price. Take a look at other retailers, and you'll see that this is a seriously good bargain on a seriously good griddle.
Shipping is not included, but you can pick it up for free if you're near an Ace with this grill in stock.
